Lungco coffee

How to make Lungco coffee recipe - A softer version of the espresso, a lungo is brewed with an increased volume of water.

GEAR ESPRESSO, DAIRY WITHOUT, TEMP HOT, SERVES 2

Equipment:
espresso machine
2 demitasse glasses or cups

Ingredients:
1/2–3/4oz (16–20g) fine
ground coffee per shot

Method:
1. Brew one shot/1fl oz (25ml) of espresso into each glass or cup.

2. Instead of turning off the flow of water into each glass or cup at around 1fl oz (25ml), or after 25–30 seconds, let it continue to brew through until you reach anything from 1 1⁄2–3fl oz (50–90ml). Allowing an increased volume of water to pass through an amount of grounds intended for a normale espresso will result in a milder cup, thinner body, and higher astringency.

TIP:
By brewing a lungo into a 3fl oz (90ml) demitasse glass or cup, you have an easy measure of volume that helps you to know when to cut the flow of water, and avoids any excessive compromise of flavor.
