I don't know if the author is American but americanos are not an American thing so they are likely not in the US.
- munificent 9mo ago> americanos are not an American thing Certainly every coffeeshop here in Seattle has them and and I expect most do elsewhere too. Espresso has taken over coffeeshops such that some won't also have drip coffee anymore and if that's what you want, an Americano is approximately how to get it.
- gniv 9mo agoI stand corrected then. I don't remember seeing them the last time I was there 4+ years ago.
- dahart 9mo agoI’ve been ordering Americanos for 20 years. Espresso drinks became a very common thing around the time when Starbucks took off in the 90s. But it does depend on where you go. Diners and gas stations and some kinds of cafes and restaurants (especially in small towns) often only had drip coffee until recently, but these days you can get an Americano in many gas stations too. Cafes with baristas making espresso drinks is the norm in big cities and has been for some time.
- the__alchemist 9mo agoChallenge: Find a coffee shop in the US that doesn't have Americano on the menu.
- gniv 9mo agoI guess my idea of US coffeeshops is dated.
- getpokedagain 9mo agoMost cafes even chains like Starbucks sell americanos in the USA.
- hattmall 9mo agoThe 4 weeks of Vacation was the biggest thing to make me think not American.
