Sorry, but I have to ask. What exactly is an Americano?

Over here we have:
Black Coffee
Coffee with milk
Espresso
Cappuccino
Latte (aka milk with a splash of coffee) usually there’s vanilla, salted caramel or hazelnut you can choose from.

And that’s pretty much it.

It’s black coffee. Like the Italian espresso maybe a double and they add extra hot water to it. That is what’s in the little white pot. So I get my “jump start!” And then I can sit and drink, sip, a black coffee.

Before I came I watched this YouTube over and over again. I love this guy. I even made sure we went to the oldest coffee bar in Florence. I think it’s only 8 minutes long. But I just love this guy. I wanted to take him with me.

Edit @MrsOdh he tells you exactly what they serve in Italy.

Morning thoughts… Just got four days off. Money is tight but all ok. Diet is good. Just wishing for some improved weather. Enjoying my work. But also wondering what retirement would feel like. (I can probably retire when I am 63? So about six years off) I like the idea of stopping and just chilling a whole lot longer than a weekend
