Long black is a style of coffee commonly found in Australia and New Zealand, made by pouring a double shot of espresso into hot water. It is similar to an americano, in which hot water is poured into one shot of espresso.[1][2][3]
Typically about 100–120 millilitres (4 ounces) of water is used, but the measurement is amenable to individual taste.[4] The smaller volume of water compared to an Americano give it a stronger taste. Both retain the crema when brewed properly, though in the long black the crema will be more pronounced.[5]
