Ristretto is a method for running espresso - meaning in Italian "restricted pour". The volume of water that flows through the grounds is restricted, leaving a smaller espresso shot - less than 3/4 of an ounce. A regular shot of espresso is pulled to one ounce or 1 and 1/4 ounce. Regular shots of espresso are often perceived as "stronger" although that is a subjective phrase, because of the higher levels of acidity - due to the water flowing through the grounds for a longer duration - pulling more salt compounds from the ground coffee during the espresso extraction or emulsification of sugar/salt compound process. There is even another pull called "Lungo" or "long-pour" where the water flows through for a final volume of 1 and 1/2 to 2 ounces. This is very watery, biting, soured espresso (due to high volumes of salt compounds) and is not popular in the states, but can be seen in Italy and other European countries. This would probably be perceived as the "strongest" of the three pours. ______________________________________________________

How do you make an Americano?
Its really simple and in my opinion much better than regular coffee. If your at Starbucks or a coffee shop its typically two shots of espresso and then filled with hot water. Leaving some room at the top if you want milk or cream. If your at home there are many ways to do it. If you have an espresso machine you can do exactly like the coffee shops and just pour the two shots into a cup and fill with very hot water. If you don't have an espresso machine you need a french press, or a espresso stove top percolator. You will also need espresso grounds. They are different from coffee grounds. Espresso grounds are very finely ground and the beans have been roasted longer making them stronger when brewed.. But that's it. Very simple. Two shots of espresso and very hot water!
