A lungo with semi-skimmed milk is a lungo coffee served with semi-skimmed milk. A lungo is brewed by running more water through the coffee grounds than for an espresso, giving it a larger, less concentrated cup.
Yes, a lungo with semi-skimmed milk contains caffeine; adding milk does not remove it. The amount varies with the beans, coffee dose and brewing method, so the drink does not have one fixed caffeine level.
A lungo with semi-skimmed milk is brewed by passing extra water through the coffee grounds, then adding milk. An Americano is made by adding hot water to espresso, and it does not necessarily contain milk.
Brew coffee using a lungo setting or a longer espresso extraction, then add heated semi-skimmed milk. Froth the milk if you like; the amount you use changes how milky the cup tastes.
A lungo with semi-skimmed milk is larger and usually less concentrated in taste than an espresso because more water is used during brewing. Its caffeine content can vary, so cup size alone does not tell you which has more.
Yes, you can serve a lungo with semi-skimmed milk over ice. Brew the lungo, let it cool briefly, then pour it over ice and add cold semi-skimmed milk.
It can taste bitter, especially if the coffee is extracted for too long or the beans are very dark-roasted. Semi-skimmed milk softens the bitterness, while a correctly set lungo extraction helps avoid an overly harsh cup.
A lungo with semi-skimmed milk can be a pre-workout drink if you tolerate caffeine and milk well. Its caffeine may feel stimulating, but it is not a substitute for water or a meal when you need those.
Yes, you can replace the semi-skimmed milk with a plant-based milk, although the result is no longer a lungo with semi-skimmed milk. Barista-style versions tend to foam better and curdle less in hot coffee.
No, a lungo with semi-skimmed milk does not need added sugar. The milk rounds off some of the coffee's bitterness; add sugar only if you prefer a sweeter taste.

Lungo with semi-skimmed milk combines a lungo—an espresso-style coffee brewed with more water—with semi-skimmed milk. The longer extraction gives it a larger, less concentrated cup than a short espresso, while the milk softens the roasted coffee notes. Lungo comes from Italy; adding milk makes it an easy café or home coffee choice in many places.
It tastes smooth and coffee-forward, with a light creaminess, and is often enjoyed without sweetener. Have it at breakfast or as an afternoon coffee, perhaps with a plain biscuit. It remains a relatively light milky drink, at 20 calories per 100 g. If you want to keep it lighter, skip sugar and flavoured syrups.
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.
