Although the United States is the first consumer of coffee, when it comes to authentic coffee, it must be no better than the Italians! After World War II, people came to Europe again, because they were not used to drinking local Espresso which was too strong, so some people drank Espresso and water, which became American Americano! Although Italians will make fun of this kind of coffee like foot wash, American coffee people have been very common since the second wave of coffee, selling a wide variety of black coffee.

Long Black: the opposite of American coffee Americano

Long Black is popular in Australia, the practice is the same as the American style, that is, add water first, and then serve Espresso!

Because Espresso is the last to add the relationship, so you can retain more coffee fat than the United States, they will be smooth, but also drink coffee cream! Because the long black has a thin layer of coffee fat and looks better than Americano, some coffee shops will simply use Long Black instead of Americano.

Inscription, in addition to the term Espresso, if a foreign coffee shop sees a short black, it will know that it is a long black one, that is, no water in English!

Lungo: try to get the quality of coffee beans.

Lungo is the Italian word for "long" in English. its practice is to use an Italian coffee machine to extract coffee powder with twice the normal amount of hot water as Espresso, so there are more Lungo than Long Black, and the upper layer has more complete and complete coffee oil!

Also because of this layer of sponge coffee fat, coupled with a strong coffee flavor, and smooth taste, but also can eat the sweet espresso beans.

If you want a cup of qualified Lungo, you must test the quality of coffee beans, and the extraction rate is high, so you will use fine coffee (note: the total score measured by the boutique coffee association (professional coffee association) is more than 80). If you use bad coffee beans, after such a long time of extraction, coffee is easy to bring out bitter taste.

Ristretto: thicker than Espresso!

Espresso in fast English Italy, if it refers to a shorter extraction time, called Ristretto or corto), while its coffee extraction capacity is about Espresso (coffee agility becomes greater). If you are suffering from hardships, Ristretto is very suitable for you!
