An Americano isn't coffee.
It's a watered down espresso.
The only reason it exists is because Americans visiting Europe would ask for coffee, and many euro coffee shops only had espresso, so they just added hot water to espresso and that was close enough for the tourists.
At least, that was what I heard.
I'm confused now, because espresso is also coffee? Like, it's all made from coffee beans. I agree that Americano is espresso with water, but to me that is absolutely a kind of coffee.
In the US coffee = filter coffee, espresso = espresso
In Italy coffee = espresso, dirty water = filter coffee
It's confusing since espresso is a type of coffee, and coffee (aka "drip coffee") is a completely different type of coffee.
Coffee is both a class of item, and also a specific item within the class.
If you say coffee, it could mean the class of all kinds of coffee, or you could be referring specifically to the coffee item in the class coffee. If you say espresso, it's still in the class coffee, but it's a specific type of coffee that cannot be conflated with a different kind of coffee.
English sucks.
