Water is the difference between an espresso and a lungo. What is the difference between espresso and lungo? These are all espresso-based drinks that become more diluted with the addition of more water or milk but as long as you drink the whole drink then you’ll be getting the same amount of caffeine. The amount of caffeine will not change whether you drink a Lungo, Americano, Espresso or any other kind of espresso-based drink such as a Cappuccino or Latte. ![]() If you are using coffee pods to make a Lungo remember that you don’t have to buy the manufacturers original pods from Nespresso or Dolce Gusto or Tassimo.įind out about some great tasting, cheaper alternatives in this article:Ĭheap coffee pods Does a lungo coffee have more caffeine than an espresso?

If you only have espresso capsules then press the espresso button (40 ml of water) then eject the capsule and add more water that way for a long black coffee rather than adding more water through the coffee grounds. You should never use an espresso capsule and press the lungo button to get 110ml of water because the coffee will be over-extracted and will adversely affect the flavour. On Nespresso machines, the default water delivery for Espresso is 40ml of water and for Lungo 110ml of water.
