Long Black
The long black brings out the best flavours of good coffee, offering drinkers a way to enjoy the qualities of coffee in a similar fashion to espresso without any masking by milk.
Served in a coffee cup
- Fill the cup 3/4 with water from the boiler (not the group head)
- Place the cup under the porta filter
- Extract 56ml (double shot) in 28 seconds
- Serve immediately
As always, the five key points to the perfect cup remain:
- Correct grind – 28ml in 28 seconds
- Heavy, even tamp
- Watch the flow of crema
- Milk like silk
- Slow down the milk pour into the cup / glass
