HOW TO MAKE

Caffè Americano

  • 01

    Bring water to a boil and pour into your mug.
  • 02

    Prepare 2 shots of espresso.

    We recommend brewing Starbucks® Espresso Roast via an espresso machine. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop moka pot to make espresso-like coffee. To learn more, read our stovetop moka pot guide here.

    • You can also brew Starbucks® by Nespresso® Espresso Roast capsules for authentic café-style espresso.
  • 03

    Slowly pour your 2 shots of espresso into the water.

TIPS

For an Americano, it’s best to pour the shot of espresso on top of the hot water to avoid breaking up the beautiful crema with your boiling water.
