I didn't know you could get Americano coffee in America.

Isn't the story of its origins that American soldiers in Italy in WWII couldn't handle the espresso there and so they had to water it down? The name was meant to be an insult so the story goes. Don't know how true this is but I always think of the name as being derogatory.
