Crimean Coffee Shops Are Now Selling 'Caffe Americano' As 'Caffe Russiano'

In some coffee shops in Crimea, you can no longer order a "Caffé Americano." It's now called "Caffé Crimea."

Tanya Lokot tweeted photos of the new trend. One coffee shop alerted customers to the change with a notice that reads: "Attention! Given the current geopolitical situation, we no longer have 'the Americano.' Please ask for the 'Crimea coffee.'"

Another coffee machine was advertising the "Russiano."

An Americano is espresso mixed with hot water.

This ploy from Crimea is reminiscent of some restaurants in America referring to French fries as "Freedom Fries."
