Coffee Long Black (Americano)

Long Black or Americano is a cup of coffee without milk. Black coffee is basically unlaced and is suitable for people who are lactose intolerant or dislike milk. But just like Taiwan's bubble tea, each guest will have a unique preference, such as rare milk, half sugar, less ice, less pearls and so on! So some customers will also ask for a little ice milk when ordering black coffee! The recipe for black coffee is: 1. Pour 1/2 cup of hot water first 2. Two shots: 60ml of espresso 3. Use your index finger to hook the small ear of the coffee cup and rotate it three times so that crema, the golden oil on the top of the coffee, blends evenly with the water. A good cup of black coffee usually has a layer of golden oil on the top, which is called crema in English. In Australia the container used for black coffee is also a ceramic cup.

It is also worth mentioning that American coffee Americano and black coffee Long Black, although the ingredients are the same, but strictly speaking, there is also a slight difference in practice. Americano coffee is usually made by extracting espresso coffee first and then adding 1/2 cup of hot water. Long Black, on the other hand, adds 1/2 cup of hot water before extracting espresso. In Melbourne, baristas tend to prefer the second option, heating the water first before extracting the coffee concentrate, which does not damage the beautiful golden crema on top of the coffee.

Americano is named after World War II, when American soldiers went to Italy and asked for hot water to be added to espresso to increase the amount of coffee. (Do I think Americans really like the idea of large portions being beautiful?@@) By the way, Americano means American in Italian.
