Frequently Asked Questions About Lungo espresso coffee
What does lungo mean in lungo espresso coffee?
Lungo means “long” in Italian: lungo espresso coffee is made by drawing more water through the coffee grounds than for a standard espresso. The result is a larger drink with a different flavor, not simply espresso topped up with hot water.
How is lungo espresso coffee different from regular espresso?
Lungo espresso coffee uses a longer extraction and more water through the same coffee grounds, while regular espresso is extracted for less time. A lungo is larger and may taste more bitter or less concentrated, depending on the beans and machine.
How do you make lungo espresso coffee at home?
Use an espresso machine’s lungo setting, which sends more water through the coffee puck than a standard espresso setting. If your machine has no lungo option, extend the shot modestly; drawing water for too long can make the drink unpleasantly bitter.
Does lungo espresso coffee have more caffeine than espresso?
Often, a serving of lungo espresso coffee contains somewhat more caffeine than a single espresso because water passes through the grounds for longer. The difference is not fixed: bean type, dose, grind, and the machine’s extraction settings all affect it.
What is the difference between lungo espresso coffee and an Americano?
Lungo espresso coffee is extracted with extra water passing through the grounds; an Americano is espresso diluted with hot water afterward. Both make a longer drink, but the brewing method and resulting flavor are different.
Why does lungo espresso coffee taste bitter?
Lungo espresso coffee can taste bitter when it is extracted for too long, especially if the grind is very fine or the machine’s flow is slow. Use the machine’s intended lungo setting rather than running water through the grounds indefinitely.
Can you add milk to lungo espresso coffee?
Yes, milk works in lungo espresso coffee and softens its flavor. Because a lungo is already larger than a regular espresso, add milk gradually so it does not overwhelm the coffee; steamed milk is an option if you want a warmer, creamier drink.
Is lungo espresso coffee stronger than espresso?
Not necessarily in taste: lungo espresso coffee is usually larger and can taste less concentrated than a regular espresso, though its longer extraction may yield somewhat more caffeine per serving. “Stronger” can mean either flavor intensity or caffeine, so the two are not interchangeable.
Can lungo espresso coffee keep you awake at night?
Yes, the caffeine in lungo espresso coffee can make it harder to fall asleep, particularly when you drink it later in the day. If caffeine affects your sleep, choose a time earlier in the day or opt for a decaffeinated coffee.
Can you make lungo espresso coffee with a Nespresso machine?
Yes, many Nespresso machines offer a lungo button, and lungo capsules are made for that longer extraction. Follow the capsule maker’s recommended setting; using a regular espresso capsule for a much longer brew can produce a thinner or more bitter cup.

What is Lungo espresso coffee?
Lungo espresso coffee is an Italian-style espresso made by drawing more water through the coffee grounds than for a standard espresso. The result is a longer drink, usually served in a larger cup; the extended extraction can bring out a more bitter edge as well as a fuller, lingering flavour.
In Italy it may be enjoyed at breakfast or after a meal, while elsewhere it fits easily into a coffee break. Drink it black to keep its calories negligible, or add a splash of milk if you prefer a softer taste. Unsweetened, it contributes almost no energy and little else nutritionally, so it is a light choice alongside a pastry or a small biscuit.
