Loved your explanation! I would like to know the approximate brew ratio of a long black. Though I have a Breville Barista Express, and have been enjoying making (what I think is) long blacks every morning, I would like to hear what the proper ratio is. Thanks!
it would taste different because with the long black, the esspresso is essentially floating on top, whereas with the americano the esspresso is mixed with the water.
@@cdvax11 there is literally an additional layer of substance on top of a long black that is going to adjust the flavor profile. Fuck outta here with your attempt to bring thermo dynamics into this.
i always thought long black was cold water. makes sense that when you wake up you fill your cup with cold water, drink half of it, then pour your espresso on top so it's cold enough to be drinkable right away.
I really like your great explanation but, i would like to draw your attention to my opinion and concern. Overtime, i have always believed Americano is hot water then espresso directly over it while, long black is the reverse case. I really got confused a bit but, i will have to make my findings and if yours is correct then i have to go by it 🙏
Sort of - but I understood that the Long black or Cafe longo was made by running the expresso maker for longer than a normal expresso, but with the same amount of ground coffee , so that a more full flavour made it into the larger coffee cup.
Oh black coffee is most definitely my thing. Cannot stand stuff added to coffee. To me when you add sugar, creamer or any flavoring you mess up the truth taste of the coffee
If removing crema for more sweetness & nuance / less bitterness, per James Hoffman's suggestion, the long black has a distinct advantage.
i will like to see a blind taste test to see if experts can consistently differentiate between the two

I diagree.I taste a big difference actually.I much prefer the Long black.

It's all in your head. The two hot liquids mix immediately; thermodynamics

I agree with you, the taste is less rough with long black.

great video dude thx
Thanks! Great video
What do you call it when you drink a shot of espresso first and then a cup of water? Or the other way round?
Wonderful! I like the way you presented the topic. Thank you.
Crema is bitter, though, so I would expect the long black to taste more strongly.
Nice sir

Great explanation!
the ratio?single shot/double shot?ammount of water?
i read before, 2shot with 3-4oz hot water. but the measurement is considered to be flexible to individual taste.

Caffe Lungo is not the same as Long Black.
Lungo is a long pulled espresso. Long Black is as described in the video.
I need the great taste of good coffee. If i need a sweetener I will have a donut.
Wow!
So damn underrated

It's definitely not negligible..
I want to tell you one thing, listen carefully... I am a Coffee Lover 😉
