Another new Percol blend. This one appears to be intended to be unintrusive, while retaining some coffee flavour. The result is something that tastes like coffee - a sort of generic coffee flavour that you'd find in coffee flavoured chocolates and similar products, but has no character. The coffee finishes with a sort of instant coffee bitterness. This is not a product for coffee lovers. Those who drink espresso and its milky derivatives such as cappuccino, are likely to be the intended audience - and its probably designed to be drunk with milk. The Americano is a style of espresso in which hot water is added in an attempt to replicate a traditionally brewed coffee - it is thought that the name came about from Americans adding water to their espressos in Italy before the milky espresso (latte) became popular in America in the 1980s via the Seattle based Starbucks, and America gradually switched its allegiance from traditionally brewed coffee to the steam brewed espresso.
Score: 3
