How To Make An Americano Coffee in Italy

Ciao Amici! (hello friends)

Hello from Italy!

My husband has a team of colleagues in Italy – and often travels here for work. So… I came along this time! While he is busy working during the day (Italians work long days!) I have been out exploring and eating amazing food!
