What is the proportion of Lungo long-extract coffee? the difference between Long black coffee and American coffee

In the espresso family, American coffee, latte and cappuccino can be called "concentrated world bearers". In recent years, Lungo and Long Black have become active in the espresso family, and people often confuse them with American coffee. Who are they? What does it have to do with American coffee?

What is American coffee?

I believe this is no stranger to everyone, and Qianjie is not so detailed about its origin this time. American coffee Americano to put it simply is to dilute the espresso normally extracted (extracted by the ratio of powder to liquid at 1:2) by adding an appropriate amount of water to reduce the concentration at the same time, let different flavor molecules show their "elegant demeanor" at different temperatures.

What is Lungo Longo Coffee?

Lungo means "long / expand" in Italian, and we can also understand it as the meaning of longer in English. Its extraction principle is to prolong the extraction on the basis of normal espresso to obtain more espresso liquid. At present, there is no accurate extraction ratio, and the extraction parameters of Lungo are different in different coffee shops. In general, the production of lungo espresso powder liquid ratio is recommended at about 1:5, such as 20g powder extraction 100g coffee liquid, extraction ratio has increased at the same time, the extraction time will be doubled, extraction time about 56 seconds.

After the extended espresso is extracted, it does not need extra water and can be drunk directly. In theory, it is nothing like American coffee. Lungo is a derivative of espresso.

What is Long Black coffee?

Long Black, also known as Australian Black Coffee, is also known as "short black", which is what Australians call their cup of diluted espresso. Wait, diluted espresso is American coffee! Why is it called Australian Black Coffee? No, the two types of coffee are different, this is the Australian people's dedication to this cup of coffee!

American coffee is first extracted from espresso and then diluted with water. The ratio of espresso to water is 1: 5: 1: 8. When mixed with water, the oil of espresso is washed away, and the concentration of each sip is similar from the first sip to the last sip.

On the other hand, Australian Black Coffee first adds water to the cup, and then pours into the extracted espresso so that the oil of the espresso can be retained, with a ratio of espresso to water at 1:3. Because the density of espresso is different from that of water, the richness of a cup of coffee changes gradually without stirring, so Long Black is the most full-bodied and mellow when drinking the first sip, and it also has a smooth taste brought by grease, and the flavor behind it will be clearer and cleaner.
