    I tried James Hoffman’s method for making Americanos more like drip coffee and it is actually pretty solid.

    Steam tap water (I still often use the water from the machine first)

    Pull a shot

    Skim the crema off

    Mix it a bit

    It makes coffee at my work and at cafes more enjoyable as the beans often are quite mediocre.

      Have you A/B tested the steamed water thing? Almost anyone else I’d have ignored the suggestion out of hand, even from him I’m incredibly skeptical.
