Lungo

Also known as long espresso

Diagrama de proporciones: Lungo (taza en corte)

Cup proportions: Espresso 90% · Crema 10%.

Same dose, higher yield. More volume; bitterness rises if over-stretched.

Lungo is defined by espresso-to-milk (or water) ratio and texture. An under- or over-extracted shot shows more with milk—fix the base shot first.

Raise yield carefully, or dilute espresso (americano). Retune grind if time runs long.
