What is a gran lungo?

A Gran Lungo is a coffee drink that falls in between an espresso and a long espresso in terms of size and strength. It is typically a 5-ounce coffee made using a Nespresso Vertuo machine, which is designed to brew larger coffee sizes compared to traditional espresso machines.

A Gran Lungo is made by using a specific capsule size and brewing process that extracts a larger volume of coffee with more crema, resulting in a richer and smoother flavor profile. The coffee is extracted at a slightly slower rate than an espresso, allowing for a fuller extraction of flavors.

Overall, a Gran Lungo is a great option for those who prefer a larger, stronger coffee drink compared to a traditional espresso but still want the convenience and quality of a Nespresso machine.
