🕒Detailed Recipe for Lungo Coffee🕒

Ingredients:☕

• Freshly roasted coffee beans
• Filtered water

Equipment:

• Espresso machine
• Coffee grinder
• Tamper
• Lungo cups or mugs

Instructions:

1. Begin by grinding your coffee beans to a coarser consistency than you would for espresso, similar to the texture of sand.
2. Preheat your espresso machine and warm up your Lungo cups or mugs by rinsing them with hot water.
3. Measure out around 18-20 grams of coffee grounds for a double shot of Lungo Coffee.
4. Distribute the coffee grounds evenly in the portafilter and tamp them down firmly using a tamper.
5. Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the extraction process.
6. For Lungo Coffee, extend the extraction time compared to espresso, typically aiming for around 25-30 seconds.
7. Watch the extraction closely and stop it when you have extracted about 1.5 to 2 ounces (45-60 ml) of liquid.
8. The resulting Lungo Coffee should have a milder flavor compared to espresso, with a more pronounced aroma and a smoother, less intense taste profile.

Important Information about Lungo Coffee:

• Lungo is an Italian term that translates to "long" or "lengthened." It refers to a longer and more diluted shot of espresso.
• Lungo Coffee is made with the same amount of coffee grounds as espresso but with more water, resulting in a larger volume of coffee.
• Due to the longer extraction time, Lungo Coffee tends to have a more mellow flavor and a lighter body compared to espresso.
• Lungo Coffee is often enjoyed by those who prefer a less intense coffee experience or who want to savor the aromatic nuances of the coffee beans.

Enjoy your delightful Lungo Coffee! ☕🕒
