The Americano was said to have been developed by GI's during WWII who were serving in Italy. They didn't like the strong espresso that were being served so they watered it down to make it more like an American style drip coffee. The recipe now is a 1:4 ratio of espresso to coffee and the lowest calorie option on most coffee menu's. So to honor this beloved low-cal option, our next 'Boo is Andy. Andy is the result of some in-person research sitting at the receiving bar at a local coffee shop. We met several Andy's on our research and this is our ode to them: the dedicated, the goal oriented and the determined. Andy is a fun guy - whether he's min/maxing in the gym or slaying those day trades, Andy is a self-reliant individual. He loves routine and knows how to appreciate even the leanest of treats, so long as they advance his goals. As Andy always says: `Live, laugh, leg-day.`
