    That said, why not Canadiano. Sometimes you want more and a litttle hydration in there. Itā€™s hard to sip an espresso for more than a couple of minutes.

    Agree it feels kind of ā€œfreedom friesā€-ey but remember that freedom fries were a US republiQan idiocy in a pathetic attempt to mock the French for being too smart to get balls-deep in the Iraq II war. No one but complete koolaid-drinking Qanuts say ā€˜freedom friesā€™ now because (a) the French were correct anyway and (b) fries are Belgian.

    In that sense, this is probably better and has a chance of sticking.

      Itā€™s not the same situation as freedom fries at all, but it has the same sort of cringe feel to me. Just like french fries, the americano isnā€™t really american. Weā€™re not ā€˜sticking itā€™ to anyone here, so it rubs me the wrong way a little. I hardly have a strong opinion on it though.
