at Home without a Machine/ Machine-free Americano Recipe
Straight outta America is the black coffee drink that’s sipped by millions worldwide.
As the story goes, the time was World War II, a lot of American soldiers were sent to Europe to fight the good fight. And their fuel, as supplied by the local countries was espresso. But the American palate needed something a little lighter and more flavorful and thus the Americano was born.
The world owes those GI Joes a great deal of gratitude for their service and their genius coffee innovation.

Most important, it will be ready in a jiffy.
No coffee machines. No mess. Just the perfect gourmet Americano...in fact, as per connoisseurs, the very best coffee in the world.
The Americano offers you a chance to truly enjoy the subtle flavors of coffee without overpowering you. It also ensures a longer sip; perfect for a long haul truck drive, juice to boost creativity or oil for juicy gossip and conversations with friends and lovers.
At Caffè di Artisan, our in-house team is enamored with the simplicity of the Americano.
There are a lot more mystical facts about Americanos that could be conjured up, but it’s better to make some of your own after making one with our eco-friendly coffee pod.
While you’d think Americanos only utilize South American coffee beans, you’d be wrong. Dead wrong. Drink an Americano, and then restart your thinking. It’ll be clearer. Caffè di Artisan luxury coffee pods originate from all over the world – our bestsellers include the organic coffee pods from Peru and Nilgiris, from a 200 year old estate. All conveniently packed in the form of espresso capsules consisting liquid coffee.
Most important, Caffè di Artisan is the most eco-friendly coffee in the world, with 100% recyclable coffee pods, which are very widely recycled. It means that our luxury coffee is a guilt-free indulgence - you will not need to feel guilty even after enjoying dozens of coffees!
Our primary focus is always to ensure that the flavor of our organic coffee pods is better than you or your coffee shop can brew. And our second major concern is that we don’t want our coffee pods clogging up the oceans.
We care about taste and the environment both! It’s a rare gift, we’re rather proud of ourselves. You should be too.
One way you could show your gratitude is by committing to buy our recyclable coffee pods for the rest of your life 😉. It’s a small ask. Of course you will support us. You’re the best! Thanks.
Americanos, somehow or the other are a part of several events that you're going to learn about just now. You might think these are made up, and you'd be absolutely correct (all except the last one). Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental.
Why Machine-free Coffee Brings all the Boys and Girls to the Yard
You know already that milkshakes bring boys to the yard. But, did you know machine-free coffee brings everyone into your crib? Everyone with a sensible head on his or her shoulders wants amazing tasting coffee.
But not all want a giant, slow or complicated machine using up major kitchen space! Plus machines take up time to clean and maintain, when you have better things to do with your weekend.
Most important, machines make poor quality coffee because they force very hot water at high temperature through coffee grounds trying to force out flavours that should be gently teased out - the way we do it in our artisanal microfiltery.
Plenty of research shows that machines are full of germs and even attract roaches!
Machine-free coffee is not just a fad, but it’s the wave of the future. You already have enough issues in your life, enjoying a beautiful coffee in the comfort of your home is no

longer one of them! So dive deep into the wonderful world of Caffè di Artisan espresso pods and enjoy the taste of the café at home.
Black or White
Michael Jackson said it best, probably in self-defense, but baby it don’t matter if you’re black or white. The beauty of Americans and Americanos both is their versatility. You can enjoy an Americano straight up black without sugar. The same drink can be had with a touch of hot or cold milk. It’s entirely up to you! We strongly suggest using espresso capsules to try both ways. Variety is the spice of life.
Just like the things you whisper to your loved ones, every little thing matters. From the temperature of the water to the type of liquid luxury coffee pod you choose to make the Americano with. We’ve experienced, first hand, that changing even the smallest ingredient while brewing up an Americano can make a major difference.
So, don’t be boring or shy. Go ahead and experiment with your coffee daily.
Ingredients:
Directions for Black Americano:
We provide a free frother with your first order to get this bit right.
Of course, some of you may not want to the froth at all. That is perfectly fine too
Tip: If you prefer to use a larger cup (12 or 16 Oz), you may like to use two pods
Enjoy!
Tip: Even if you usually use sugar/ syrup/sweetener in your Americano, taste before adding any. Caffè di Artisan coffee can be zesty with a long, lingering taste...but never has burnt or bitter notes.

Decisions... decisions
Now for the only hard 😋 part of the Making It process: the choice of the coffee variant to make your Americans.
You can choose one based on careful thought or on a whim... They are all worth trying.
The Colombian Raro with a classic profile with strong caramelly sweetness.
Intensity : Mild Roast : Medium
The Ethiopian Asmara from the cradle of coffee, if you enjoy a densely sweet berry flavor.
Intensity : Medium Roast : Medium
The Indian Vilasita for a buttery smooth, spicy, nutty latte with tasting notes of nutmeg, pistachio and cocoa.
Intensity : Medium-strong Roast : Medium Dark
The Peru Organique (USDA-certified organic) for a sweet herbal flavor with citrusy tones.
Intensity : Medium Roast : Medium
But when you want something really special, here are our recommendations (Remember these are still a fraction of the cost of coffee shop drinks for a much superior coffee). Plus, you do deserve the touch of luxury in your life, don't you.
The Nilgiris Organique: Every bit deserving of its 200 plus years heritage. Organic coffee with intensity of a different scale. Flavors will burst upon your palate. Spicy woody overtones. Chocolaty undertones.
Warning: The Nilgiris Organique can be addictive.
Intensity : Strong Roast : Medium Dark
The Malabar: the fabled iconic monsooned Malabar. Unique notes of the sea.
Intensity : Strong Roast : Medium Dark
Not to forget, if you are a decaf drinker, try making an Americano with our Decaf. You will never be able to guess that it's decaffeinated!
Why machine-made coffee isn't The Real Deal
Machine-made coffees simply don't cut it. Their whole process (or tech, as millennials might put it) is all seriously messed up.
Coffee machines force very hot water at high pressure through delicate coffee grounds, which is the reason for the burnt and bitter taste.
This is no way to treat something so vulnerable.
How can such violence, this savagery, yield great coffee?
Truly great coffee, extracted slowly and lovingly, does not taste bitter.
In the Caffè di Artisan micro-filtery flavors are teased out from coffee beans over days...not forced out.

Want to know The Secret to The Best Coffee in The World?
(But first, a bit of coffee history: Coffee was never meant to be made by machines. It started out as a slow process. But an ugly compromise, a dirty shortcut, was invented in order to mass-produce coffee: the coffee machine. The Espresso machine was patented in 1884 - It was the start of the industrialization of coffee.)
