lungo
Longer coffee extraction
A lungo is an espresso made with more water, producing a larger, less concentrated drink than a standard shot.
The Italian word means "long," referring to the extended extraction time.
I'll have a lungo—I want something stronger than an Americano but not as intense as a straight espresso.
