“A coffee in the morning is like an alcoholic beverage but without the buzz and the hangovers.” It keeps me alert and is a great way to start my morning.

One of my favorite types is the Caffé Americano. An American coffee made with Espresso shots and hot water. It is said that this was invented during World War II when Americans diluted their Espresso shots using water so that they could evenly distribute the caffeine.

In the video below, my fellow coffee lover and good friend PY Yupangco demonstrates how to make the perfect cup of Caffé Americano.
