Caffè Americano
Caffè Americano ((:kafˈfɛ ameriˈkaːno)) or Americano (shortened from (イタリア語:caffè americano) or American Spanish: ''café americano'', literally ''American coffee'') is a style of coffee prepared by brewing espresso with added hot water, giving it a similar strength to, but different flavor from, drip coffee. The strength of an Americano varies with the number of shots of espresso and the amount of water added. The name is also spelled with varying capitalization and use of diacritics: e.g., café americano.
In Italy ''caffè americano'' could mean either espresso with hot water or filtered coffee (''caffè all'americana'').
== Origin ==
The term "Americano" means "American", and comes from American Spanish, dating to the 1970s, or from Italian. The term "caffè Americano" specifically is Italian for "American coffee". There is a popular, but unconfirmed, belief that the name has its origins in World War II when American G.I.s in Italy would dilute espresso with hot water to approximate the coffee to which they were accustomed.〔(Americano Coffee - What is Americano coffee and how do I make it )〕
Earlier, in his 1928 novel ''Ashenden: Or the British Agent,'' Somerset Maugham has his protagonist order and drink something called an ''americano'' in Naples during World War I, but there is not enough information to indicate whether it is the same drink.
