[Life] Korean's favourite Coffee Drink Americano


One of the most popular coffee drinks in Korea is Americano. Koreans love to drink cold Americano with ice. Regardless of season, many Koreans enjoy iced Americano. For me, I like hot Americano during fall and winter and iced Americano during the summer!

Yesterday, I was listening to a podcast which explained the history of Korea’s most popular coffee drink – Americano.

The name Americano comes from Italian which manes American Coffee. Many people agree that this coffee came during World War II. Americans normally drank drip coffee which is very mild compared to traditional Italian espresso. Expresso was too strong for American soldiers who were located in Italy and they want to drink coffee that they are used to. They started to drink espresso with additional water and this became Americano.

Americano is prepared with the ratio of 2 water to 1 espresso. Typically, Americano adds espresso first and then pour water over it . Long black which is popular in Australia is similar to Americano but it adds water first and pour espresso over water. So if you want to enjoy crema, long black can be better option than Americano which have a light layer of crema.
