don't get a americano - it'll be one shot with half a litre of scalding hot water on top. Better to ask for two double espressos plus one cup 1/4 filled with hot water and another with steamed milk. Then pour the espressos carefully into each cup- it will be a little bit like a long black and a flat white. Or you could print this out http://primocaffe.com.au/preparation and take it with you to show to the barista!
As David says - good luck!!!!
