An Americano is a weaker version of regular coffee but the Americano is usually stronger in taste than a Latte.
The Latte will have cream, milk etc that makes the Latte taste less strong than an Americano while the Americano can have a stronger taste to it than the Latte.
When I drink an Americano it has a stronger taste to it than a Latte does but when I drink regular coffee the regular coffee tastes stronger than an Americano.
The Latte also tastes stronger than a regular coffee in my opinion.
The Americano is stronger for most people than the Latte.
In my opinion though the latte tastes better than the Americano.
