A great alternative to the Americano, this espresso-based drink is all about maximum taste, and we think it's the perfect brew to capture the flavours of our award-winning speciality blends. Intrigued to try it for yourself? Read on to discover more about this trending coffee. This simple process leaves the crema intact, which results in a richer brew that preserves the nuances of the espresso while offering a smoother taste on the palate. At first glance (or sip!), the long black may appear similar to the popular Americano coffee but the devil's in the detail. The difference in this trending, espresso-based drink all comes down to one step - pouring the hot water first. In comparison, Americano is brewed the other way around. To make an Americano, the espresso shot is poured first into the hot water, which can result in a weaker, more diluted taste.

Black and bold, this drink showcases the distinct flavours of your favourite Artisan character to their fullest. This frothy layer retains all the aroma, enhancing the coffee-drinking experience in both smell and taste. From adjusting the strength with different water ratios to adding milk or syrups, this is a drink you can really make your own.
