“Lungo” means “long” in Italian and refers to a coffee brewed with a longer flow of water than espresso. Nespresso Lungo capsule coffee is intended for a larger, lungo-style serving rather than a short espresso shot.
Insert the Nespresso Lungo capsule coffee capsule into a compatible machine and select its lungo setting. If your machine has no dedicated lungo button, use the long-coffee setting described in its instructions; do not run the used capsule a second time.
Nespresso Lungo capsule coffee is extracted with more water and served in a larger cup than espresso. Espresso is a shorter, more concentrated drink, while lungo has a longer extraction; the specific flavour also depends on the capsule’s blend.
No. Nespresso Lungo capsule coffee is brewed by passing more water through the coffee in the capsule, whereas an Americano is espresso diluted with hot water afterward. The methods produce different flavour and extraction profiles.
Nespresso Lungo capsule coffee contains caffeine, but the amount varies with the capsule’s blend and the brewing method. A lungo can extract somewhat more caffeine than a short shot from the same capsule, but it is not necessarily stronger-tasting.
Yes, you can add milk to Nespresso Lungo capsule coffee. Warm or frothed milk softens its coffee flavour and makes a larger milky drink; add it after brewing so you can adjust the taste to your liking.
Use the larger cup setting intended for Nespresso Lungo capsule coffee. Too little water produces a smaller, more espresso-like drink, while pushing too much water through one capsule can make the coffee taste diluted or bitter.
Yes, you can brew Nespresso Lungo capsule coffee on an espresso setting, but the result will be smaller and more concentrated than a lungo. Choose the lungo setting when you want the capsule’s intended longer extraction.
You can, but its caffeine may make it harder to fall asleep, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine. If late coffee affects your sleep, have Nespresso Lungo capsule coffee earlier in the day instead.
No. A Nespresso Lungo capsule coffee capsule is designed for one brew, and running water through it again usually makes a weak, unpleasant cup. Remove the used capsule after brewing rather than trying to extract another serving.

Nespresso Lungo capsule coffee is made by brewing ground coffee from a capsule in a Nespresso machine. “Lungo” refers to a longer extraction with more water than an espresso, giving you a larger, more slowly sipped cup. Its flavour depends on the capsule blend, but it is generally aromatic, with a noticeable bitterness and a less concentrated feel than espresso.
It is often enjoyed black at breakfast or as a mid-morning coffee, though milk is an easy addition. Plain, it is very low in calories and contains caffeine. Leave out sugar or syrup to keep it light, and pair it with breakfast or a small biscuit if you like.
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.
