    I thought maybe it was supposed to say Americano, but it’s not the same. There’s an explanation here. It’s made from light roasted beans, and they say it most likely got it’s name from Americans in post-war Japan brewing coffee with lots of water or diluting it further before drinking.

    I’m not American, but the name sounds a little judgemental to me.

      The only way it really sounds judgmental is if you get hung up on the word “weak”.

        Weak has a very negative tone to it. Using weak to describe food or drink is rarely, if ever, used in a positive way.
