The Australian and New Zealand answer to the americano, built the other way around: hot water goes into the cup first, then a double shot of espresso on top. Pouring in that order keeps the crema intact, so the drink looks and tastes more like espresso than a watered-down one. It is also smaller, typically around 5 to 6 ounces against an americano's bigger mug, which makes it noticeably stronger. If you are traveling in Australia or New Zealand and want black coffee, this is the word to use. Elsewhere, if the menu lists both, ask how each is made before you choose.
