Is an Americano better than a Long Black?

Daddy Hoffman 👌🤣

[@JFcoldplayandshits]

Thats actually the first valid argument I’ve ever heard on the subject!!

[@Sara-fp6xr]

Props to "daddy Hoffman"!

[@natus49]

I always thought the essential difference between an americano and a long black is the ratio of water to coffee, where the long black is less diluted. Both are still made with coffee over water. Bearing in mind also that in a café setting the water coming from the hot water tap is often reasonably far above boiling point, and pouring it straight on top risks burning the coffee you just extracted, so it's better to pour the water first to let it cool before extracting the coffee - or at least, so I was told, could be a completely myth tbh 😂

[@nich2988]

Wise

[@ulisesmartinez1930]

I would rather cool down the coffee to drink it right away

[@ashwathyprasad4823]

Bro once again you are the best, thanks for your videos.

[@kitcraft9516]

I don't taste a difference when I make it either way. Coffee first is just a better workflow for me.

[@LifeByKpop]

I like the Long Black better. I enjoy the strong hit and mouth feel of getting the crema on the first sip since it's floating on top and not mixed in. It's very bold which I enjoy. 😋☕

[@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat]

Respect 4 acknowledging Daddy Hoffmann.

[@jackoury2999]

If found that when making Americanos the moment that the espresso is sitting in the cup and has a second to cool it will lock in a bitterness that is not present in a long black since the espresso immediately goes into the hot water. Give it a side by side it's quite interesting.

[@whatskraken3886]

you're ignoring what's actually probably a more important difference: when the hot espresso hits a glass, it cools more rapidly than it would being poured into boiling water. that will change the flavor more than stirring with a spoon vs stirring with water.

[@hananyariv]

I love that explanation, I always said they preferred the long black and I was not sure the physics behind it, but that's a pretty good explanation.

[@skitzvitz]

"Daddy Hoffman" the coffee nut.... enthusiasts all collectively smirked

[@mangoie]

I first started with espresso first, but during a blind tasting we noticed that espresso first, hot water later, actually tastes a bit more bitter, even after stirring. It seems the boiling hot water directly from the boiler (HX machine) burns the crema layer a bit. I wonder if other people have a similar experience!

[@antoniosacco6519]

The americano is the espresso cup rinse.

[@skylerdeckard]

Literally the same thing. Most coffee shops when you order an americano, they prepare it like a long black - for expedience.

[@SirKovar]

Long black, stirred after is better. 👌

[@lindtaylor932]

An experienced barista will always extract espresso over hot water because the crema looks better

[@Yo_No_Doughnut]

Long black daddy hoffmann kinda sus

[@xxcarolxannexx]

:0 I’ve been making an Americano wrong the whole time! Like a decade and a half

[@1DJSkittles]

Maybe I'm wrong but I looked at it as an Americano or whenever you're adding water to it your diluting I'd rather have just a regular cup of coffee then otherwise I get it just a shot of espresso

[@Arrynek01]

You use less water for long black. That is literally the only difference. they both "self stir."

[@coffeehouse_369]

Hellooo golden brown coffee how much water is added in americano ???

[@maxleong304]

Felt like I've been lied to for years. Even though minor detail. I have been told americano when i had long blacks all along. 😑 but agitation is required so i guess so long they can brew a good one, i look past that detail

[@willd4686]

Daddy also said it doesn't matter, but hot water first looks better. Both are the same drink and you should stir it with a spoon regardless of the order.

[@graysheep189]

Long black biggest difference is that it has a set ratio where Americano doesn’t and an Americano usually has bigger percentage of water.

[@amrazing33]

Wdym? You still have to stir the long black after extraction..

[@gutslappa]

In America, an Americano is a full cup of hot water.

[@aaz0th601]

Daddy Hoffmann???????????? 🤣

[@yoloswagprobro8227]

So which one is better?

[@danielburford1441]

Thanks to Daddy Hoffman I'm a caffeine addict I have roughly drank around 6 cups of coffee, one pour-over, a long black, and an Americano today.

[@veneshpillay2988]

Daddy Hoffman, I make more coffee en I watch his videos

[@ellececee]

its irking me that no ones talking about 1: a long black is supposed to have equal ratio of water to espresso, and americano double+ 2: water temperature isnt even mentioned

[@Senninha1960]

.... is an Espresso Lungo better than both!?? Huh! 🤔😁

[@thecoffee2820]

Mantap Kopi nya 👍

[@EyesTrustYou]

what if, adding luke warm water or room temp water instead of hot water? as the shot instantly cools down when doing long black. you could brows more on "Coffee Consulate" about "Shock Cooling" ps. cheer

So in a hamburger adding tomatoes first before onions should have a different name if you add onions first before the tomatoes? 🤔

[@Lawbringer-98]

Right this is silly

@@Lawbringer-98 yup, ESPRESSO add a bit of milk and it’s called cappuccino….add a little bit more and its a Flat White….. and add a little bit more then it’s a Latte! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kyloluma]

​@@N0bullthey're steamed in different ways. as well as that, cappucino often has chocolate powder on top, and flat white is made with 2 ristretto shots, not espresso

[@joshuavittachi1592]

Daddy Hoffman actually recommended espresso on top and then scooping off the crema

[@rfdc]

Instead of thinking, can you just taste them and then know?

[@hananyariv]

There are 2 main differences, the order and the ratio of water to espresso which is much lower in the long black, meaning of more concentrated drink overall. In both differences I think long black takes by taste and texture the Americano. In my opinion my perspective long black wins by much

[@tiktok.4527]

Sama saja... rasanya sama, kopi hitam...

[@DC_Fedens]

Americano is so much more flavorful

[@tariq0015]

For me none of the two. Espresso is drank as espresso or latte. Then drip coffee or v60 for black coffee

[@mgp-bct7723]

Americana goes 200 g of water on 40 g of espresso ☕️ Lungo gos same 40 g of espresso ☕️ 20-40g water 💦 lol

[@beneli9427]

After a stir they will taste the same

[@MongIAMTauYah]

iced long black 😂

[@igorverdes]

They’re both wrong. Just have a drip filter coffee, much better.

[@alexgroot3901]

Blah blah triple espresso 👌

Both drink should have never been created. Who the hell would like to thin a espresso with water. Only in USA.

The creme is bitter and most people drinking Americanas just want normal coffee so do them a favour and scoop it off. Seriously, espresso people are so obsessed with creme when in reality most regular coffee drinkers dont like the bitterness is brings.

In that case you never experienced a good shot of espresso😢
