Caffè americano

Caffè americano (Italian: [kafˈfɛ ameriˈkaːno]; Spanish: café americano; lit. 'American coffee'), also known as americano or American, is a type of coffee drink prepared by diluting an espresso shot with hot water at a 1:3 to 1:4 ratio, resulting in a drink that retains the complex flavors of espresso, but in a lighter way. Its strength varies with the number of shots of espresso and the amount of water added. The name of the drink may also be written with Italian spelling and diacritics as "caffè americano", or Spanish spelling and diacritics as "café americano".

It is similar to a long black in Australia and New Zealand.
