Talk:Lungo

When visiting most coffee shops in America you will want to ask how their lungo is prepared. I work in one of the most popular and sought after coffee bars in Anchorage, AK. Trust me, we love our coffee up here. However, our lungos are prepared by pouring two shots of espresso into 2 ounces of hot water. I argued that this is not the proper method for preparing a lungo. To me, that is simply a small Americano. Apparently, popular takes priority over proper.

(Rather, it is long black than americano - espresso on the top.

How not to use comparatives
>A lungo is less strong, but more bitter

Less strong than what? More bitter than what? An espresso? A long black? A cat's paw? 124.188.145.99 (talk) 19:46, 30 January 2013 (UTC) 37.115.41.69 (talk) 09:55, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Inconsistent numbers
How long is a lungo, compared to an espresso? This is the question most readers will have in their minds, and this article gives 3 different answers.

- 2.0 times the length of an espresso, according to paragraph 1: "with more water (generally twice as much)"

- 2.2 to 6.8 times the length of an espresso, according to paragraph 2: "A normal serving of espresso ... fills 25 to 60 millilitres, while a lungo ... might fill 130 to 170 millilitres."

- 1.5 to 2.0 times the length of an espresso, according to the Brewing section: "1:2 for normale, and 1:3–1:4 for lungo"

Perhaps this inconsistency is caused by the lack of a rigorous definition in the real world. However, the article should explain this, rather than fall victim to it.
