Costa Americano
Espresso lengthened with hot water rather than milk, so the coffee flavour stays upfront. Order it black, or ask for a dash of milk on the side.

What's In It
Two shots of Mocha Italia espresso lengthened with hot water. No milk by default — the lowest-calorie hot coffee on the menu, and the closest to filter-coffee strength.
