There is a difference here:
Pouring hot water over espresso will give you an "Americano".
Pouring espresso over hot water will give you a "Long Black".
Adding water to espresso, in either way, will result in a richer coffee taste - a lungo will have a more watery taste.
The name "Americano" is said to origin from World War II, when american G.Is in Italy would dilute their coffee with hot water to make it more like the coffee they were used to back home.
Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous statement
and yet, i bet coffee experts would mistake them for each other in a blind taste test
Thank-you!! I knew there was a way to make a regular cup of coffee if I desired it.
If you like a strong but not bitter taste, I have found I have to use 2 capsules 2x40ml and then 120ml of water so 1:1.5 ratio, that's with a Kazaar capsule but thats dependant on your preference
Great video! I just purchased a nespresso machine. I love drinking an americano and wasn't exactly sure how to make it. I was making a lungo and then, without emptying the capsule, hitting the lungo button a second time. Now that I know, I'll try it like your video. Thank you!
Is it less acidity ?
Or you can make it even more simpler and brew a lungo to the max 6 FL ounces that the nespresso machine makes and you have an americano that way too
A lungo is not a double-shot. It is one shot with extra water through the puck/capsule. Two espresso shots, using two capsules, into one cup, is a double-shot.
thebarak Lungo allows you to get more espresso out of the one pod using it all up vs wasting it on a tiny shot with small water.
You can't get more out of them pods. When you pull a shot with lungo or espresso button. Hold the button the coffee start going brown. Then turn yellowish Let it go when you start see it go yellowish. That is the end of the pod. All coffee has been removed. So all your doing just burning the old coffee. When over extract it.
Personally I prefer an Americano made where an espresso is added on top of hot water (which, incidentally, is what most of the coffee shops in the UK do with the exception of Starbucks) as the Long Black (Espresso first) tends to end up with the creme broken up.
I like that, too, from time to time. Thanks! #enjoyyourcup
You probably do not know what an Americano and a Long Black are. Americano is Espresso with water added over it after it is prepared. Long Black is water with Espresso poured over it.
A lungo is 3.75 oz. A single espressos 1.35 oz. adding a single shot of water about doubles the volume (~2.7 oz).
This makes more sense in comparing both methods. Thank you.
So ultimately, the Lungo has less strenght when compared to making a single espresso and adding another shot of water to make an Americano??
So an Americano is stronger than a Lungo, right?
super useful, i have been searching through internet about differences between the coffees come out from those two buttons on Nespresso Inissia machine. thanks!
Can't I just leave the pod inside and hit the button again instead of water only?
for cafe americano, instead of 1 shot of espresso and 2 shots of water, i put the grand cru capsule in and do the lungo pour (dbl espresso)...then i retrieve and reuse the spent capsule and do lungo pour again. this way i get a little more coffee vs straight water on the second round.
You should only use the capsule once. Reusing it will draw out only bitterness from the coffee. An Americano is a single shot of espresso with hot water added afterwards.
So what do u call a lungo with extra water?
I usually brew hot water using the espresso/smaller shot button then add a lungo on top.
+mpc1209 Me too. I do the reverse however.
is it good?
That is a Long Black, not an Americano.
Lungo isn’t a double shot of espresso. The ratio of coffee:water is different in an espresso shot and Lungo.
Can you please review the Nespresso Lattissima Plus ?
Hi, I already returned one new U machine because excessive water was going into the drip tray. The new one is a bit better, but not that much. If you brew a Lungo, how many ounces should be in your coffee cup once it is done? It says 3.75 oz on the box, but I don;t think I am getting that, I think more like 3. what should you get in "real life"? Thanks!
Edward Idell You can modify it to taste by programming the button so more water is dispensed to your liking.
Can the latisima machine do this??
Correct or double the coffee making double the volume in a normal espresso maker.
Wonderful! Thanks
How many ounces is coming out for the one shot of espresso?
I just ordered one from amazon. It says the 2 settings are like 2oz and 4oz, but you can customize the setting by holding the button down until your desired measurement and it will remember. Hope this helps
What happens if you fill the Americano ...
I think that’s the wrong way to do it. Just leave the pod in and hold the right button until the machine stops. That way you don’t waste whatever is left in the pod.
at Williams-Sonoma :). I don't think they have 'em anymore. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
Really great video thx.
Thanks this was helpful
what capsule did you use? you said grand crux however that machine only takes originaline capsules. i have same one. thanks
I'm wondering this too. I know some people opt for the nespresso arpeggio capsules for Americanos.
Grand Crus is just a fancy marketing gimmick name made up by Nestle. It has no real meaning.
Nespresso pods.
Does this cut out the acidity?
Brilliant.
How is it possible there's so much foam in this shot? Do they add something in the cups that makes the foam?
+David van der Zande 19 bars of pressure, I think that's what get's you the foam.
No. Nespresso is quality.
We still waiting :(. Nespresso promised unit for review a long time ago.
It's he's job, dummie :P
He's allowed to advertise as much as he wants.
I still don't understand what is the difference
The difference is a Lungo is stronger (Not two shots, was corrected. But uses more of the coffee from the capsule), Americano is only a single shot into hot water.
It's basically "Strong vs Weaker" thing. Given that a Lungo uses more of the cap, I would also assume that it a little more bitter as well.
WirlWind Cheers buddy! Now I get it!
Thanks :). We always listen our youtubers :). So both comments are great :). Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.

full of mistakes ... lungo is simply a small americano ... and neither of the choices gives you double shot ... BIG FAIL for a PRO... since i am just a regular coffee lover
How utterly confusing. Are both these coffees lungo or not? In other words, is one a lungo and the other a non-lungo? Or are both lungo? This is not made clear but confused by the introduction of the term "grand cru". This is one of my main gripes with the Nespresso system - terminology, clarity and explanation. The term "grand cru" just confuses the issue, as it is not explanatory - it merely attempts to imbue quality and heritage where it is not required. So, tell us all: large or small? Keep it simple please.
To what I understand a Lungo is double the amount of a shot. When he did the Americano it is the same amount as a Lungo since he ran the amount of a shot twice, but one of those two times with water alone.
He used the same type of pods in his example for each demonstration and called them grand cruz. However, Nespresso makes a lungo type of pod made for the double size shot and they make a espresso type of pod for a single size shot. Despite the lungo and espresso type of pods, either works with the double shot or single shot that is dispensed.
Can you please advertise less?
