![]() ![]() If you want a Nespresso americano, you are should just use espresso pods. That’s because the ratio of espresso to water won’t be quite right. Also, while lungo Nespresso pods may be americano inspired, they don’t make a true americano. If you are making a latte or a cappuccino, I would not recommend using a lungo as the espresso will be too diluted. It’s perfect for when I am looking for something to sip on longer than an espresso. To make a Gran Lungo, start by brewing a strong espresso shot. The resulting drink is similar to a latte, but has a stronger espresso flavor.

The best way to use these pods is whatever tastes good to you! Some people will drink lungos black, while others will add a splash of milk or creamer. When it comes to how to prepare a drink using a lungo pod, there is no one right answer. To make a lungo with your Original Nespresso machine, just press the larger cup button.

Also not to be confused with a lungo is a long black, where you add a short black directly to the hot water basically the opposite of an Americano.
