Americano and Long Black



The drink " Americano" comes from when American G. I.s in WW II would order their espresso with water because it was too strong. 

When preparing an Americano, you always pour the hot water on top of the espresso in the glass. If you are instead pouring espresso over hot water you are making a different drink, commonly referred to as a Long Black.
