History of Eropino (freepic)

YOGYAKARTA - Americano's delicious coffee cup is now the favorite drink of many people. However, did you know, behind its strong taste was stored in the history of Asylano from World War II?

The story of Americano begins with American soldiers who feel they are too thick. They also added hot water, creating new drinks that we now know as Americano.

The story of Americano's birth is one of the interesting stories. Reporting from the Americano Lounge page, according to several sources including Lee Jallifee, PhD, this drink was first made by American soldiers who served in Italy during World War II.

The American Serdadu felt the fire served there was too concentrated and strong, unlike the coffee they used to drink in America. Therefore, they add hot water to create a more familiar taste.

After the war ended and when the soldiers returned to their homeland, they then brought along Americano's drinking habits.

Before Americano went global, coffee was already the main drink in America. Initially, in the 17th century, tea was the colony's favorite drink. However, everything changed when the American Revolution began.

Starting from the Boston Tea Party incident in protest against the tea tax from the British Parliament, coffee will soon become the American people's first-choice drink.

Then coffee became more popular when in 1864, John and Charles Arbuckle started roasting and selling packaged coffee to cowboys in the West.

Other well-known coffee brands such as Folgers and Maxwell House will soon follow suit. Coffee is not only a daily drink, but also a profitable business in America.

The main reason Americano is widely accepted is thanks to the role of the US military. Based on an article on the New York Times blog, during World War II, US soldiers drank so much coffee that the Army had to send coffee that had been ground and packaged specifically abroad.

Soldiers who are used to coffee drops at home feel the coffee they find in Italy is too bitter. As discussed above, Americano was born.

Adding hot water to your clothes is the easiest way for them to make coffee feel more like home. This drink is quickly becoming popular in Europe and America.

According to The Spruce, the addition of ingredients such as cream and new sugar was popular in Europe in 1529. Meanwhile, coffee shops in America emerged in line with colonialization.

In America, coffee shops have become a meeting place for business people, even the New York Stock Exchange was built at the site of the former Tontine Coffee House due to the large number of business transactions that took place there.

Currently, we can find coffee shops in every corner of the city, serving coffee in various combinations. However, without the need for soldiers in World War II for coffee to remind them of home, maybe we will never enjoy a refreshing Americano every day.
