Long black
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A long black is a style of coffee, most commonly found in Australia and New Zealand, made by pulling a double-shot of espresso over hot water (usually the water is also heated by the espresso machine). A long black is similar to an Americano.
The order in which a long black is made (water first, espresso second) is important; reversing the steps will destroy the crema from the espresso shots.
A short black is like a long black, but made with only a single shot of espresso.
