7 Brew Brewista Practice Test

How many scoops of cream are added to a medium Americano, if requested?

1. 1

2. 2

3. 3

4. 4

The correct answer is: 2

In the context of preparing a medium Americano when cream is requested, the standard practice is to add two scoops of cream. This ratio strikes a balance that enhances the flavor and texture of the drink without overwhelming the original taste of the espresso and water that form the base of an Americano. By using two scoops, the cream adds a noticeable richness and creaminess, which many customers find appealing, making it a common choice in coffee shops. This standardization helps ensure consistency in drink preparation, allowing baristas to effectively meet customer expectations. In contrast, adding fewer than two scoops might not provide enough creaminess, while adding more may overpower the coffee's flavor.
