Many years ago when I was just a kid in highschool I didn't know what an Americano is so I ordered it one day and then I watched and was like: "Why's that guy pouring water in my coffee? What's so American about it?". I can't recall what I was expecting when I read the name - probably milk or chocolate instead. Different times I guess, no smartphones/etc. so I couldn't just google it or so. 馃檪
