The Americano: An espresso coffee diluted with hot water.

Espresso Basics: Espresso has a stronger taste but less caffeine. The longer roast of espresso beans produces a darker bean while burning off more of the caffeine.

The Americano Advantage: Since an espresso is brewed when you order, you are guaranteed a freshly brewed full bodied cup of coffee when you order an Americano. No need to drink coffee stored in a thermos.

Balzac's Cafe: Located in the Pump House of Toronto's Distillery Historic District (55 Mill Street). The Distillery District is an outstandingly preserved Victorian industrial site on Toronto's lakeshore, recently opened to the general public.

The Balzac's Americano Advantage: When ordering an Americano at Balzac's their finest servers ask you what ratio of water to coffee you would like, resulting in a perfect cup of coffee.

DabLab at Balzac's: Paul has been making the trek to Balzac's quite frequently since their recent opening.
