What the chuff is Americano, and how do you make it at home, with or without an espresso machine? Here's how. I'm also busting some Americano myths, including what exactly makes it an Americano, and the origins of Americano (which I personally believe to be largely a myth but I may be wrong). I'm showing how to make Americano without an espresso machine, with the Aeropress. You can use any other manual coffee maker that makes espresso style coffee, such as a Moka Pot, or a Minipresso. By the way, if you're in the UK or Europe (including Ireland, Germany, France, and most other countries in mainland Europe) see: https://coffeeblog.co.uk/sage-applian...
