Lungo

Lungo — A “long” espresso pulled with twice the water of a normal shot.

What’s in a Lungo

18 g coffee → ~70–90 g of espresso (a 1:4 ratio or so).

How it tastes

Lighter-bodied and more bitter than espresso, with more total caffeine extracted.

Good to know

Not the same as an americano — a lungo brews longer; an americano dilutes after brewing.
