During a demonstration to Lukashenka of the self-service machine's operation in the "Mak.by" chain restaurant in Minsk, the chain's director Viktoria Danko began to order Americano coffee through it as an example.

Lukashenka, hearing the name Americano, reacted:

«Americano should be renamed into a Belarusian brand. For now, write "Americano" in brackets, and when people get used to it, then…»

Already a few days later, "Mak.by" began choosing a new name for Americano, so that it would be Belarusian.

And here is the result — the new name — "Nasha Kava" (Our Coffee).
