What is a long black coffee?

A long black coffee is an espresso-based coffee drink that is made by pouring a double shot of espresso over hot water. This creates a slightly stronger and more intense flavor than a traditional drip coffee, but it is not as concentrated as a straight espresso.

Because the espresso is diluted with hot water, the long black coffee has a smooth and balanced flavor with a rich crema on top. It is typically served in a larger cup than a traditional espresso, allowing for more volume and a longer drinking experience.

Long black coffee is popular in Australia and New Zealand, where it is a common alternative to a traditional drip coffee. It is also becoming more popular in other parts of the world as a way to enjoy the bold flavors of espresso in a larger and more refreshing format.
