Today I'm going to show you how to make an Americano with an Espresso Original Machine
An Americano is a single shot of Espresso with about twice as much hot water
That's the most traditional. If you love the lighter Americano, you can make 8 or 3 shots of hot water
Today I'm going to make it with 2. So first I'm just going to put in Espresso card
I'm going to type Espresso. I'm going to choose the Espresso setting. If you have a more basic model like the Ascenda Mini
it's pretty easy. We'll initiate our pitcher. Just press the small size button
So we're going to brew the Espresso. Then we're going to eject the card
Open the lever to eject the card. Now there's no card in the chamber. We're going to close the lever
And then basically do the same thing again 2 more times. And that's just going to get hot water only into the cup to blend with the Espresso
So hot water type 1. Just press it. So press the button again
And that's 1. And then we're going to do it 1 more time. So the traditional Americano
That's it. So Americano is super easy to make with an Espresso original machine
And as you can see, it gives you a lot more coffee volume than you would have from a single Espresso shot alone
So it's something you can sip on for longer and enjoy for more time
