CAFÉ ALLONGÉ/LUNGO

if you know how to make an espresso, it's easy you make it several times in the early morning, you are ready to create a lungo.

first of all it is not Americano. when you create your coffee, you should let the all the water seep across the coffee. finally yes, lungo is a kind of long espresso,

and I hear your questions: what else? is it an espresso with more water? is it something special? should i create it when i would like to drink more espresso?

first of all, you should know why lungo is special, and what is the real difference between espresso and lungo.

when we talking about and trying to make an espresso, we would like to create it perfectly, without unnecessary taste and smell. the lungo has a little bit more than an espresso, that little thing is the tannin.

tannin gives a small bitter taste to the coffee and a special sweet smell, the color of the coffee will be the most beautiful brown you have ever seen.

if you are ready for new experiences and your mind is open for new tastes, you should make your own lungo, and trust me, the day will come when you will come to love it.
