I have my machines programmed for ristretto and espresso volumes, roughly 25ml and 35-40ml. Buying your coffee pods online from Nespresso's website is the best way to ensure that you're getting the right refills for your machine. I've never used the lungo volume on any of my Nespresso machines far too over extracted for my tastes. However, if you don't like the level of extraction from the lungo button, you will never use the button that way so reset it to something more useful. A lungo consists of 2 ounces of an espresso shot.

The espresso has a shorter pull than a lungo. In the aftermath, generates a less intense flavor than a normal espresso as there is more water.

Reprogram? Not really necessary, just push the button again to stop the pour where you wish. A lungo can go through a full minute to pull.

But people around here do kooky things with their capsules in the name of economy or on a dare. If you're making a cappuccino from the lungo, that's a very tall 350ml drink unless you're cutting the capsule short at, say, 25-40ml.

Did you figure out where the bitterness is predominant? Was it the blend or the extraction method?īlack? There is no reason lungo capsules are better black except that some folks like them that way. Ristretto: The most popular Nespresso pod for its subtle qualities of liveliness, strength, and bitterness. It’s an excellent choice for a strong morning coffee without the full kick of Kazaar. If you have one or two lungo capsules laying around, try this: use two cups and swap them out after 35-40ml to let the remaining lungo volume of 70-90ml fill the second taste each separately and then combine the liquids and taste again. Dharkan: Hints of nuts and cocoa give it a delightfully smooth texture. I cannot imagine the scant 7grams of coffee in the lungo capsules can sustain that much extraction, 120-140ml or almost four ounces. You can serve your Nespresso any way you wish.
