What it is and what sets it apart: Not an americano (which adds water). Higher g out at the same dose.
At the bar: Set ratio (e.g. 1:2.5–1:3) → dial-in (often coarser) → label tickets clearly.
Impact on the drink: Impact: longer, softer cup; excess = dilution and overextraction bitterness.
Technical notes: Don’t just stretch a 1:2 shot without grind changes.
Common mistakes: Confusing lungo with americano. Huge improvised yield. Ignoring woody/bitter notes.
