There are two generations of Nespresso machines- Original Line (pre 2014) and Virtual Line (post 2014) and the capsules that you buy need to be compatible with your machine. It is an absolute disgrace! Nespresso Machinesīefore we can begin to talk about the best Nespresso capsules for Americano, we need to briefly talk about Nespresso machines. This is the only machine that at the touch of a button will create an Americano from scratch.Īll other Nespresso machines at the touch of a button will create an espresso but from there you will have to add your own hot water. Making an Americano in an Nespresso Machineĭid you know that there is only one Nespresso coffee machine that will make you an Americano from scratch?
So the biggest problem facing you is choosing the perfect blend of coffee for your espresso shot. Of course, most of this advice is not relevant because with the Nespresso capsules, our machine will be making the espresso for us.
If you add your espresso shot to your hot water (as you do with a Long Black) the crema (which is the thin cream colored “film” that floats on the top of your espresso) won’t be destroyed. Many coffee bloggers who are giving advice about making the perfect Americano, are actually making a Long Black. There are many written guides or “how to” videos focused on making the perfect Americano and guess what? There is no step by step guide to making the perfect Americano which will suit everyone. It is better to say this at the start rather than to spring it on you, part way in. To add a little to the confusion and complexities of different coffee drinks, espressos also have variations which sometimes get confused.Ī ristretto is a drink that uses the same amount of ground coffee as an espresso but it uses about half the water.Ī lungo is a coffee that uses the same amount of ground coffee as an espresso but it uses about double the water. There are other coffee drinks that are watered down expressos, such as Long Blacks!Ī true Americano is when a cup is first filled with a shot of sspresso before hot water is added.Ī cup is first filled with hot water before a shot of espresso is gently added to it. So the legend goes, it was too strong for many American soldiers who were used to drip coffee and needed these espressos watered down.Īn Americano is literally a watered down espresso. Italians tend to drink only one type of coffee, espresso, which is very strong because there is so little water in it.Ī standard espresso “shot” uses 7 grams of ground coffee and 30 ml of hot water. Legend has it that Americanos were first created in World War Two for coffee loving American soldiers who were stationed in Italy.
