How to say "Americano"? As in the coffee type. :) In pinyin with tone and in characters, please. Also, is there a more decent way to say "good night" or "sleep well"? My teacher says "wan an" is Taiwanese but couldn't tell me what I am supposed to say in mainland China... Thank you!

Make sure that fourth tone is very sharp: mei3 SHI4. I order Americanos all the time, and if I get sloppy on my pronunciation, the baristas are quick to correct me (or to clarify - perhaps they want to make sure I'm not ordering mei3shi2 美食).
