    Steps

    1

    Grind and tamp as for espresso.

    2

    Pull a longer extraction — about 45–60 seconds.

    3

    Aim for 60ml of liquid.

    4

    The result is milder but more aromatic than espresso.

    Pro Tip

    A lungo extracts more flavor compounds but can turn bitter if over-extracted. Watch the color change.
