“Café Américain” is a popular coffee drink in France that is similar to an Allongé. It is made by diluting a shot of espresso with hot water, resulting in a less intense flavor.
This drink is perfect for those who enjoy the taste of espresso but prefer a milder, larger beverage. It is typically served in a larger cup and offers a smooth coffee experience that can be enjoyed at any time of day.
Choosing a Café Américain allows you to enjoy the rich taste of espresso in a more diluted and accessible form. It’s a versatile choice that fits well into any coffee routine.
To order it, you would say, “Je voudrais un café américain, s’il vous plaît.”
