A double espresso americano is made by diluting two espresso shots with hot water. It has a larger serving size than straight espresso, while keeping the espresso flavor more prominent than a single-shot Americano.
Pull two espresso shots, then add hot water to make a double espresso americano. Pouring the water into the espresso helps preserve a visible crema; adjust the amount of water to get the strength you prefer.
A double espresso americano contains two espresso shots. The word “double” refers to the espresso, even though cafés may vary the cup size or the amount of water they add.
Usually, yes: a double espresso americano uses two espresso shots, so it generally has more caffeine than an Americano made with one shot. The exact amount varies with the beans and how the espresso is prepared.
Both drinks combine espresso and hot water, but a long black is typically made by pouring espresso over hot water. A double espresso americano is commonly made by adding hot water to the espresso, which can affect the crema.
Yes, a double espresso americano can be served iced. Pour two espresso shots over cold water and ice, or add the espresso to ice first and top it with water for a chilled version.
No, a plain double espresso americano contains no added sugar; it is made with espresso and water. Sugar, flavored syrup, or a sweetened coffee mix will change that.
Yes, you can add milk to a double espresso americano, although it is usually served black. A splash of milk softens the espresso taste; adding more milk makes the drink closer to a milk-based coffee.
A plain double espresso americano has very little energy, but whether it breaks a fast depends on the fasting rules you follow. Milk, sugar, or syrup adds ingredients that may not fit your fasting plan.
A double espresso americano does not automatically dehydrate you. Coffee’s caffeine can have a mild diuretic effect, particularly for people who do not drink it regularly, but the water in the drink still contributes to fluid intake.

A double espresso americano is made by pouring hot water over two shots of espresso. The water lengthens the drink while leaving its roasted coffee aroma and a fuller character than many filter coffees. The Americano is often linked to adapting espresso to a longer, milder style of coffee.
It is commonly served black, though you can add milk or a sweetener to taste. In cafés worldwide, it works as a morning coffee or an afternoon pick-me-up, and it pairs easily with toast or a small pastry. Unsweetened, it is very low in calories; ordering it without syrups keeps it that way.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
