A “café allongé” is a popular French coffee drink similar to an Americano. It involves a longer extraction process, resulting in a shot that’s at least double the volume of a traditional espresso.
This method creates a milder flavor and a larger coffee, similar to a “Café Lungo” in Portugal or a “Caffè Longo” in Italy, making it ideal for those who prefer a less intense espresso experience.
Choosing a Café Allongé allows you to enjoy the rich taste of espresso in a more diluted and accessible form. It’s a versatile choice that fits well into any coffee routine.
To order it, you would say, “Je voudrais un café allongé, s’il vous plaît.”
