☕ About the Recipe:
An Americano combines a bold espresso shot with hot water for a smoother, lighter taste. In this Advanced (LVL 2) preparation, we focus on precise dosing, careful water-to-espresso ratios, and an efficient workflow. For this recipe, we used the Loveramics Urban Twisted Glasses (60 ml for espresso and 360 ml for the final serving), which provide both a beautiful presentation and the right capacity for this drink.

☕ Ingredients:
Coffee beans: 18–20 grams (freshly roasted, pre-dosed in single-dose tubes)
Water: 60 ml for espresso + 360 ml of hot water at 75°C

⚙️ Tools:
Breville/Sage Barista Express
Single-dose tubes (for convenience and precision)
RDT spray bottle (to reduce static)
WDT tool (for even distribution)
Bottomless portafilter
Funnel (to reduce mess when grinding)
Normcore tamping station and auto-level tamper
Puck screen (for more even water flow)
Kettle (for precise water temperature)
60 ml espresso glass
360 ml serving glass
Scale (to monitor output weight and ratios)
Knockbox

👇 Instructions (Play the video and follow along in real-time):

1️⃣ Prepare the Espresso
• Mist the beans inside the single-dose tube using RDT.
• Start the grinder (hot-start) and pour the beans into the hopper.
• Grind directly into the bottomless portafilter using the funnel.
• Distribute the grounds using WDT for evenness.
• Tamp firmly with the Normcore auto-level tamper and add a puck screen on top.
• Extract 60 ml of espresso (or 36–42 g by weight) into the 60 ml Loveramics Urban Twisted Glass.

2️⃣ Prepare the Hot Water
• Heat 360 ml of water in the kettle to around 75°C.
• Pour the hot water into the 360 ml Loveramics Urban Twisted Glass first.

3️⃣ Assemble the Americano
• Slowly pour the espresso directly into the hot water. This method preserves crema and ensures a smoother, more balanced taste.

4️⃣ Serve & Clean Up
• Stir gently if desired and enjoy immediately.
• Knock out the coffee puck, rinse the portafilter and group head, and clean all tools.
