A “caffè longo” is a distinctive Italian coffee drink known for its extended extraction process. This method results in a shot that is significantly larger than a traditional espresso, offering a milder flavor and a more substantial serving.
Similar to a “Café Allongé” in France or a “Café Lungo” in Portugal, this drink is ideal for those who enjoy a less intense coffee experience. The longer brewing time allows for more water to pass through the coffee grounds, creating a smoother, less concentrated flavor that is perfect for leisurely sipping.
To order it, you would say, “Vorrei un caffè longo, per favore.”
