“Americano” got its name from US soldiers coming to France during World War 2. They didn’t like our coffee, it was too strong for them. So the French added water and named it “Americano” to mock Americans.
Ehhh, the French mocking people is hardly something to stand on as an argument. Other things the French will mock people for:
pronouncing bread names wrong
attempting to pronounce bread names correctly
liking the Eiffel Tower
not liking the Eiffel Tower
speaking French
not speaking French
An Americano is also not just coffee, it is espresso. This is like saying someone can’t handle their liquor because they ask for a cocktail they can sip on instead of straight shots of vodka. I do like shots of espresso as a pick me up sometimes, but other times I want something I can sip on whilst talking with a friend or working. Much like how sometimes I will slam back whiskey like it’s water, or make a nice cocktail if I’m taking it easy and want to enjoy myself.
I am European, I do drink a lot of coffee and will happily crunch through a handful of beans… I also started just eating spoonfuls of instant coffee…its great… probably healthy?
At least we make real coffee instead of tea with coffee flavor
What’s “real coffee”
Coffee is made from ground up coffee beans steeped in water.
Do you just eat the beans?
Is this the European health secret?

FYI espresso is normal coffee.
It absolutely is not.
No that’s health insurance leading to the ability to actually go to the doctor when you’re sick
