Long black

A long black is a style of coffee commonly found in Australia and New Zealand. It is similar to an Americano, but with a stronger aroma and taste.[1][2]

A long black

A long black is made by pouring a double-shot of espresso or ristretto over hot water. Typically about 100 - 120 milliliters of water is used (3.5 - 4 ounces) but the measurement is considered to be flexible to individual taste.[3] The smaller volume of water compared to an Americano is responsible for its stronger taste. Usually the water is also heated by the espresso machine.[4] Both retain the crema when brewed properly, though in the long black the crema will be more pronounced.
