What is lungo?

Lungo is a type of coffee that is brewed using an espresso machine but with more water and a longer extraction time. This results in a larger, milder drink than an espresso. Lungo is typically served in a larger cup than espresso and has a stronger flavor and higher caffeine content than a regular cup of coffee. The name "lungo" comes from the Italian word for "long." Some people prefer lungo coffee for its intense flavor and smooth finish.
