Americano

< rant >
Definition: An espresso beverage made with one shot of espresso into a cup of hot water.

Now why the fuck do people ask if I want my Americano white or black?

An Americano is a black coffee.

All of these pseudo coffee shops, Costa, Starbucks, Nero etc employing kids on gap-year between nursery and primary school are guilty.

What's more they have the gaul to look at you in a weird - "What's this guys problem" sorta way when you yell at them - "Americano is a black coffee, why would I want MILK!"
