      In typical coffee snob fashion, the name describes the order of mixing the ingredients. long black: shot of espresso into a cup of hot water, americano: hot water into a cup of espresso

      in NA they typically use americano because it sounds fancier, I doubt they make it “right”.

        As someone who’s designed multiple cafe menus in the US, we use americano because if it said long black baristas would have to explain what it is dozens of times a day. Having a long black on your menu is way more pretentious.
