How I Order an Americano - Shawn Blanc
When at coffee shops I almost always order a 12-ounce, double Americano with a little bit of half-and-half steamed in.
i should try this. i usually go with a “triple tall with room” which is three shots in the smallest amount of water. no milk, just three “sugar in the raw” packs.
i had read somewhere, a while ago, that this was what the head taster at starbucks always orders to get a temperature for the overall performance of the store in question. i figured that made sense for me too - it’s a straight-forward drink that is effective, caffeine-wise, and its unadulterated prep highlights original flavor.
but, lets get real, it can be boring from time to time.
