During the Second World War, American soldiers in Italy used to drink Italian espresso with water to meet their daily caffeine needs. Because espressos in Italy were too strong for Americans.

Italian coffee shops began to serve espresso softened by adding water under the name of americano to turn this habit of American soldiers into profit. Over time, Americano-type coffee became increasingly popular and began to spread in Europe. Soldiers returning to their country also popularized americano coffee in North America, and one of the world's favorite coffee types was born.
