For those who have just come into contact with espresso, they feel confused in the face of a lot of coffee nouns, such as Espresso, Ristretto, Lungo, Latte, Flat White and so on. In this issue of baristas, let's share what Long Black is.

Long Black

Long Black literally translates as "long black", also known as "Australian black" (Australian black coffee) in China. As the name implies, Long Black comes from Australia and is very popular in Australia and New Zealand. Since it is called Australian black coffee, it is bound to be distinguished from Americano (American coffee).

The composition of Long Black is very simple, which is made up of Espresso and water. So what's the difference between the same Americano made up of Espresso and water? Many people simply think of Americano as injecting water into espresso (pour espresso first and then water) and Long Black pouring espresso into water (first and then espresso). The difference between the two is the order of "materials". Is it really that simple?

First of all, American coffee (Americano) originated after World War II, when the US military could not get used to drinking extremely rich Espresso in Europe, so they poured warm water into the coffee to dilute it. So there is the saying that the order of Americano is to pour coffee first and then water. Until now, Americano's approach is not too particular about the order, it only retains the difference between grease and dissipated grease. So since it's not a matter of order, what's the real difference between them?

Long Black originated in Australia, Australians like more strong coffee, Americano can not meet their needs, and Espresso in Australia will also be called Short Black, so Long Black is a slightly diluted espresso, while reducing the concentration while maintaining the thickness of fat alcohol. The cup size of Long Black will be smaller than that of Americano, about 150ml. Pour water first and then espresso, which will retain the oil. Because the amount of diluted water is less than Americano, it will taste better and thicker.
