"Perhaps I'm a little more biased than the average reviewer since I was once a barista and know how most of these drinks should be made or how I expect them to taste. I mainly evaluated bitterness level, mouthfeel, drink composition, and flavor when it comes to how I ranked them."
"The Americano was supposedly created in Europe when Americans there in World War II would ask for a cup of coffee at a coffee shop that only had an espresso maker. And since 7 Brew doesn't have a regular coffee maker, this is what you get instead. An Americano is basically an espresso topped off with hot water, and it is the closest thing to a regular cup of hot coffee on 7 Brew's menu."
7 Brew is a coffee chain founded in 2017 with significant cult following in the Ozarks and recent expansion beyond Arkansas. The chain lacks a physical menu, app, or traditional coffee maker, instead using espresso-based drinks. A former barista evaluated nine 7 Brew coffee drinks using professional criteria including bitterness level, mouthfeel, drink composition, and flavor profile. The ranking begins with the brown sugar and cinnamon Americano ranked last, described as unpleasantly bitter and watered down. An Americano, created when American soldiers in WWII requested regular coffee from European espresso-only shops, represents the closest option to traditional hot coffee on 7 Brew's menu. The reviewer acknowledges potential bias from barista experience while attempting fairness toward different taste preferences.
