Why Everyone Drinks Iced Americano

Recently, for some reason, I keep seeing posts about "Why does everyone drink iced Americano?" For this question, most netizens answered like this:

- Because "American" represents "nothing's wrong!"

- Because iced Americano is perfect for socializing!

Some netizens also said:

- Because life is bitter, so we need negative times negative to get positive!
- Ordering hot or iced drinks at cafes has become a "standard" for judging age...

Some netizens mentioned that iced Americano is their secret to longevity! If "longevity" isn't understood as the length of life continuation, but rather the duration of time a person stays awake, or the time the brain can remain in an active state, then the secret to longevity is drinking iced Americano! If you want "double longevity," choose an extra-strong iced Americano!

Whether it's a cup in the morning to activate a new day, or a cup after a meal to eliminate the greasiness of food, the slight acidity and bitterness of iced Americano are easily accepted by everyone. Combined with its ability to promote metabolism and its low-calorie characteristics, it's considered a relatively healthy beverage choice.

More Than Just a Drink

Apart from health benefits, more and more people are gravitating toward iced Americano nowadays - one reason is its low price and fast preparation, and another is that iced Americano coffee is truly a "safe card" for socializing!

For many younger generations, iced Americano coffee is not just a beverage; it has gradually evolved into a lifestyle culture.

When going out with colleagues and friends, iced Americano is definitely an excellent choice. Whether someone treats you or you treat them, the price of iced Americano is affordable for most people. When you don't know what to order, don't know what to drink, or don't know what to treat someone to, ordering iced Americano coffee is absolutely a polite and well-regarded safe card~

The Freedom of Choice

"Compared to pour-over coffee, I can drink iced Americano more freely~" This is something a friend of the writer once exclaimed. They said that many people think drinking Americano means not appreciating coffee, but I drink coffee just to make myself happy. I've tried drinking pour-over coffee before, but I could never taste the differences between beans or between roasts.

That's so tiring! With iced Americano, there's no need to struggle~ You don't have to worry about inconsistent preparation at different places. You can walk into any coffee shop anytime, anywhere and buy the coffee you want. This kind of happiness and freedom is the true meaning of drinking coffee for me!

Coffee freedom

Yes, everyone chooses different types of coffee for their own different purposes. Whether you drink iced Americano or hot Americano, or iced drip, cold brew, or pour-over coffee, the ultimate goal is to make yourself happy and comfortable~

Not worrying about others' opinions and only choosing what you like is the right way to drink coffee!

For the writer, choosing iced Americano is because...
