Long Black coffee

A Long Black is similar to an espresso, but it’s made with twice as much water. This makes the brewing process longer and gives the coffee a more intense, often slightly more bitter flavor with more caffeine.Served in a larger cup, it’s the perfect choice for those who want to enjoy a strong coffee for a longer time.

Which beans are the best for your Long Black coffee?

The foundation for a good Long Black consists of Arabica and Robusta beans with a subtle character.In addition to loose beans, you can also opt for capsules with elegant flavor combinations, specially selected for the perfect Long Black coffee.
