Recreate your Café Favorites at Home with NESCAFÉ GOLD.
The Americano and the Long Black are exactly the same in terms of content. The only difference lies in the order that the
ingredients are mixed in.
There are a few origins for how the "Americano" came to be, and the one I like the most originates during wartime.
American soldiers didn’t have access to good coffee in a warzone, so they'd prepare coffee in pots, using fire. No grinder. No
scale. No thermometer.
The result would be so bad that they would end up adding water to dilute it until it was drinkable. Hence the "Americano".
Today it means an espresso shot first, and hot or cold water second. For the long black, the water goes in first, topped off with
an espresso shot.

2. Prepare 1 or 2 teaspoons of NESCAFÉ GOLD (or how you usually prepare it) and put it in your cup.
3. Add 100ml (for a "strong" cup) of hot water per teaspoon or 150ml (for a more mellow cup) per teaspoon you use.

Cold
1. Prepare 1 or 2 teaspoons of NESCAFÉ GOLD (or how you usually prepare it) and put it in your glass.

get too diluted.
