"Dutch Bros is known for some pretty powerful and delicious coffee drinks. Some of the iced coffee drinks can be refreshing quenchers to power up summer days, while The Golden Eagle can offer a creamy, caramel beverage that is a guaranteed pick-me-up. Unfortunately, not every drink on the menu is a home run. After sampling over one dozen hot drinks, our Tasting Table team writer concluded that the Americano is better left as an option."
"Simply made, an Americano should offer a perfectly poured espresso and water. While the order is affordable at Dutch Bros, the taste isn't worth the coins you'll save. The aroma of the drink isn't unpleasant - you'll be met with a nutty roast - but the bitter taste of this coffee is one that requires a significant amount of doctoring to be palatable."
Many Dutch Bros drinks are bold and flavorful, but the Americano often falls short. The Americano provides a nutty roast aroma but delivers a bitter, underwhelming taste that typically requires added milk, creamer, or sweetener to be drinkable. Hand-pulled shots aim for mild cocoa notes and bold espresso character, yet some pours taste old, weak, or indistinct. Several customers described the Americano as bland or nothing special, though some accept it at the price. Americanos can be customized with flavors, whipped cream, drizzles, sprinkles, or Soft Top to improve palatability.
