Instructions

  • Prepare your machine by filling the water tank and placing the cup under the brew head.
  • Plug your Nespresso machine.

  • Press the espresso button once.
  • Wait for the espresso shot to pour over into your cup.
  • Open the lid for the capsule to move to the pod holder and close it.
  • Press the button once. This time, the hot water will pour into your cup.
  • Remember that you can adjust the amount of hot water added to it.
  • Taste the coffee and enjoy your Americano if you think this is the coffee for you.
  • If you feel like you should make it more intense, insert the capsule into the button and press the espresso button.
  • Pour the espresso into the same cup.
  • If you think you want to make your coffee dilute, you can add more water by emptying the machine and pressing the button to get one more shot of hot water into the same cup.

Notes

You can always keep changing the espresso and hot water ratio while making the coffee you want.
Remember that your Nespresso Americano can be diluted while adding more water, resulting in a thin layer of crema. Hence, if you are a crema lover, use less water.
