Nice. Does it have a special option for Americano?

That's the main reason I'm leaning towards Delonghi Magnifica Start. It has a button for Americano. I tried moka pot coffee + diluting it with hot water. It's not the same. :(

No, I just pre-fill a cup with hot water from the steam wand (it has a hot water mode) and then pull a double shot of espresso into it.

(That's technically an Australian long black but I like it better - it leaves the crema on top.)
