Americano at Akasa – A Bold Classic Brewed for the Modern Connoisseur

At Akasa, we believe that every element of your dining experience should be thoughtful, refined, and rooted in quality — even your coffee. Whether you’re winding down after a hearty North Indian meal or seeking the perfect pick-me-up in the heart of Singapore’s CBD, the Americano is our answer to your coffee cravings. This timeless classic, crafted using Allpress Espresso, reflects the same commitment to excellence that defines our culinary offerings.

The americano, with its rich body and smooth finish, complements the bold spices and hearty textures of Indian cuisine while standing proudly on its own. It’s more than a drink — it’s a quiet indulgence in the middle of your bustling day.

Why Choose an Americano at Akasa?

Akasa isn’t just about food; it’s about an experience — and that extends to our drinks. We’ve designed our beverage menu with the same attention to tradition and quality as our culinary selections. Our americano coffee is crafted with Allpress Espresso, a globally respected brand known for its full-bodied, smooth coffee blends. Here’s why our version of the americano stands out:

1. Crafted with Allpress Espresso

At the heart of our americano is the Allpress Espresso blend. Known for its clean, sweet flavor and beautifully balanced roast, Allpress brings depth without bitterness — a perfect foundation for a high-quality americano.

2. Brewed to Order

Each americano at Akasa is freshly brewed by our trained baristas. We believe the best coffee is made to order, and our team takes the time to ensure each cup is smooth, hot, and consistent. Whether you choose it hot or iced, your americano arrives with full-bodied flavor and unmistakable quality.

3. Balanced Strength & Flavor

An americano is created by adding hot water to a shot (or two) of espresso. This method delivers the strength of espresso without the heavy body, offering a smoother, lighter profile while retaining all the complex flavors of the bean. It’s bold, yet incredibly drinkable — perfect for any time of day.

4. Pairs Seamlessly with Indian Cuisine

You’d be surprised at how well a cup of americano complements Akasa’s North Indian menu. The bitterness of the coffee cuts through rich gravies and spiced meats, while its acidity enhances subtle flavors in vegetarian dishes. Enjoy it alongside your lunch or sip it slowly after dinner — it’s a match that brings East and West together on one table.

5. Modern Setting in the Heart of CBD

Our location at 79 Robinson Road places us right in the heart of Singapore’s business district. The ambiance is calm, elevated, and designed for comfort — making it the perfect backdrop to enjoy a warm cup of americano. Whether you're meeting clients, catching up with friends, or enjoying some solo time, Akasa offers a welcoming atmosphere for coffee lovers and those exploring our curated spirits like tequila or vodka.

What Goes Into Your Cup: The Anatomy of an Americano

Akasa’s menu also includes lattes, flat whites, cappuccinos, and more — all made with the same Allpress Espresso base.

Espresso Shot

Our espresso base is extracted from freshly ground Allpress beans. The espresso is brewed using precision machines to ensure it carries the signature richness and slight crema that elevates the final drink.

Hot Water Ratio

The key to a great americano lies in the water-to-espresso ratio. At Akasa, we follow a 1:2 ratio that retains strength without overpowering your palate. This approach ensures a smoother mouthfeel and allows the coffee’s natural notes to shine through.

Temperature & Freshness

We serve our americano at just the right temperature — hot enough to awaken your senses but never scalding. Every cup is brewed on demand, never sitting idle or reheated.

Serving Options

We offer two main serving styles:

  • Hot Americano – Traditional and warming, served in a sleek cup. Best enjoyed indoors at Akasa’s stylish dining area.

  • Iced Americano – A chilled version perfect for Singapore’s tropical climate. Served over ice, it’s crisp, clean, and ideal for outdoor seating or takeaway.

Both versions are available throughout our operating hours, from 11:30 am to 10:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.

The Perfect Time for an Americano

The versatility of the americano makes it suitable for various moments in your day:

  • Pre-Lunch Kickstart: Ideal if you’re skipping breakfast or preparing for an afternoon meeting.

  • Mid-Meal Reset: Helps cleanse the palate between courses or after spicy dishes.

  • Post-Dinner Digestif: A caffeine-based way to round out your meal, especially after rich or sweet dishes.

Customisation Options

At Akasa, we welcome personal preferences. Your americano can be:

  • Double Shot – For an extra caffeine hit.

  • Iced – Chilled and served over cubes for a refreshing touch.

  • With Milk on the Side – While a traditional americano doesn’t include milk, we’re happy to serve a small side of oat, soy, or dairy milk if requested.
