I found out that the Americano drink comes from American ww2 soldiers serving in Italy but they couldn't take the strength of an Italian espresso, so would water it down. Hence Americano. I'm informed that Italians look upon this drink with scorn, often referring to it as "soup". #factoftheday
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
