long black

Espresso with water

A long black is a style of coffee made by pouring a double shot of espresso over hot water, preserving the crema on top.

The drink originated in Australia and New Zealand, where it remains the standard way to order what Americans would call an Americano—though purists insist the preparation order matters: I'll have a long black, not too hot.
