A Starbucks Americano is made by diluting espresso shots, brewed using Starbucks' Espresso Roast, with hot water. The Espresso Roast is a blend of beans that Starbucks describes as rich and caramelly, and the Americano captures these flavors in a drink that's similar in strength to traditional drip coffee but with a distinct flavor profile.

    On a crisp fall day, there's something deeply satisfying about grabbing a Starbucks Americano. Brewed with their signature Espresso Roast, which has those rich, caramelly notes, the drink starts off bold and smoky. It might be served just a touch too hot, but give it a moment. As it cools, you're hit with this lovely chocolatey richness, all smooth and bold with just a hint of smoke and spice.

    Starbucks didnt get where it was without a great dark espresso, and I think it plays especially nice in the Americano format.

    Cupping Method:I had an Americano today at the Starbucks in Marlborough, MA. Drive-thru.
