What is that exactly? A cup of percolator coffee with a double shot of espresso into the cup?
Or a long black (a double shot of espresso filled up with hot water) plus two extra espresso shots?
Or just a long black expressed in a complicated way?
- scbrg 10mo ago> Or just a long black expressed in a complicated way? Presumably this. Coffee terminology is (apparently) not global. I've never seen the term "long black", and I visit cafés quite a lot. Wikipedia lists it as a thing primarily in Australia/New Zealand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_black https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_black
- rglynn 10mo agoThey are basically the same, long black is water with espresso poured on top, americano is espresso with water poured on top.
