An Espresso Long is a larger, longer coffee based on espresso. Depending on the café, it may be an espresso diluted with hot water or a shot extracted for longer; the name is not used identically everywhere.
An Espresso Long may be prepared like an Americano, but the terms do not always mean the same thing. An Americano is typically espresso topped with hot water, while some cafés use Espresso Long for a shot pulled through the grounds for longer.
It can, depending on how it is made. Adding hot water to a finished espresso increases the drink’s volume, not its caffeine; a longer extraction can draw more caffeine from the grounds.
Not necessarily. A lungo is made by extracting espresso for longer with more water passing through the coffee grounds. Espresso Long can refer to that style, but some cafés use it for espresso diluted with hot water instead.
Make an espresso and add hot water to taste for a straightforward Espresso Long. If you have an espresso machine, you can instead run more water through the coffee, but that longer extraction may make the cup taste more bitter.
An Espresso Long can taste bitter when it is extracted for too long or made with very dark-roasted coffee. If it is simply espresso diluted with hot water, the bitterness comes mainly from the original shot rather than the added water.
Yes, you can add milk to an Espresso Long. A splash softens its coffee intensity without turning it into a milk-heavy drink; steamed milk also works if you want a creamier cup.
Yes, an Espresso Long can be served over ice. Pour it over ice for a quick iced coffee, or chill the espresso first to reduce dilution as the ice melts.
Drink an Espresso Long earlier in the day if caffeine keeps you awake. Its larger volume does not necessarily mean more caffeine than a single espresso when it is made by adding water, but a longer extraction may raise the caffeine content.
Not always. An Espresso Long made by adding hot water contains the same espresso shot in a larger drink; one made with a longer extraction uses more water through the coffee grounds and may yield a different-strength cup.

Espresso Long is a French café-style coffee made by lengthening an espresso with hot water. It keeps the roasted character of espresso but has a more open, gentler profile; the exact preparation can vary between cafés. It is not simply a larger serving of milk-based coffee.
In France it is commonly enjoyed black, after a meal or as a short pause during the day. Elsewhere, it works well as a straightforward alternative to a standard espresso when you want a less concentrated cup. It contributes very little energy—about 2 calories per 100 g—and contains virtually no fat. Order it without syrup or sugar to keep its clean coffee flavour and light nutritional profile.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
