Instead of shortening the time duration, this shot is properly prepared by grinding the coffee even more fine than for a traditional espresso shot to restrict the flow of water through the coffee. This results in a tighter ratio of coffee to water (1:1 to 1:5), so 18 grams of coffee results in just 18 to 27 grams of liquid but still in roughly 20 to 30 seconds. The result is a more concentrated and syrupy shot, with pronounced sweetness, a heavier body, and subdued bitterness. Many describe ristretto as capturing the very essence of espresso. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/1a8e9b47-c1ee-4866-a71e-577dacf68a5a/Lungo.jpeg Blog - Understanding Differences in Espresso Brew Ratio: Espresso, Ristretto, Lungo, Long Black, and Americano - The Lungo A lungo actually is a longer shot, brewed with a larger ratio of water (between 1:3 and 1:4), but typically pulled for a longer duration as well (40 – 50 seconds). For a lungo 18 grams of coffee delivers 54 to 72 grams of liquid. This creates a lighter-bodied drink, which may be smoother on the palette but may also increase bitterness, as more compounds (not all of which are tasty) are drawn from the coffee grounds. A lungo can be seen as a stretched-out espresso that is less bright and intense but longer-lasting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/5681a5bb-a967-436d-937b-233a4823411d/Traditional+Espresso.jpeg Blog - Understanding Differences in Espresso Brew Ratio: Espresso, Ristretto, Lungo, Long Black, and Americano - The Traditional Espresso The classic espresso shot uses a brewing ratio of approximately 1:2, meaning 7-9 grams of ground coffee (14-18 grams for a double) produces about 14-18 grams of liquid (28 - 36 grams for a double) in about 20 to 30 seconds. This yields a complex and rich beverage that is well balanced in sweetness, acidity, and body. A double shot of espresso has about the same caffeine content as a small (e.g., 10 oz.) cup of coffee. https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/blog/why-abide-coffee monthly 0.5 2025-03-18 https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/blog/tag/Brewing+Methods monthly 0.5 https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/blog/tag/Espresso monthly 0.5 https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/blog/tag/Brew+Ratios monthly 0.5 https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/home daily 1.0 2026-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/8e88b8be-fc34-46ca-9d7e-290922fca120/Drip+Coffee+Cup_Desktop.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/d7f9a3da-29a0-4113-9240-8b3e2986b48d/Abide+Coffee+Bag+for+Kenya+Coffee_Desktop.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/0481e1da-144b-411f-bacd-3aca25d5b0a4/Dark+Roast+Coffee+Beans+in+Coffee+Roaster_Desktop.jpg https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/about daily 0.75 2025-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/c89495fb-dbdd-4d55-b53b-a160ea216639/Abide-CoffeeCo-Logos-Black-Border.png https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/connect daily 0.75 2026-01-04 https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/faq daily 0.75 2025-12-30 https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/store daily 0.75 2025-03-26 https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/store/coffee monthly 0.5 2025-04-27 https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/store/merch monthly 0.5 2025-04-27 https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/store/p/white-abide-coffee-mug monthly 0.5 2025-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/b4df55b5-972c-4738-a2fb-1da85ead78d3/Abide+Coffee+Mug+Normal+Right+Side.png Store - Abide Coffee Mug - White https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/91c80b94-7582-4aad-85b0-8c9c966b5c37/Abide+Coffee+Mug+Normal+Left+Side.png Store - Abide Coffee Mug - White https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/e0888d09-c5c1-40a7-8fbc-01379ad1358f/Abide+12+oz.+White+Cup+from+Distance.png Store - Abide Coffee Mug - White https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/33be1b78-9ccf-4246-ad57-b2eb4630a4f8/Abide+12+oz.+White+Cup+from+Distance+back.png Store - Abide Coffee Mug - White https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/store/p/soft-touch-abide-t-shirt monthly 0.5 2025-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/ff5f39b6-58fb-42b5-a979-8725be2cb152/Mens+T-Shirt+Black.jpg Store - Soft-Touch Abide T-Shirt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/c28480a3-d8c5-47d4-ae78-000d35d67f0b/Abide+Shirt+Men%27s+Back.png Store - Soft-Touch Abide T-Shirt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/391e29ca-735d-4de8-8dd4-8537e40d77b1/T-Shirt+Logo+-+Red+on+Black.png Store - Soft-Touch Abide T-Shirt https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/store/p/ethiopia-decaf monthly 0.5 2025-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/8e88b8be-fc34-46ca-9d7e-290922fca120/Drip+Coffee+Cup_Desktop.jpg Store - Jimma, Ethiopia (Decaf) - Excellent cup of steaming hot coffee https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/store/p/kenya-coffee monthly 0.5 2025-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/d7f9a3da-29a0-4113-9240-8b3e2986b48d/Abide+Coffee+Bag+for+Kenya+Coffee_Desktop.jpg Store - Kenya AA Top Lot - Excellent whole bean coffee in coffee bag with cup of coffee and coffee beans https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/store/p/abide-blend monthly 0.5 2025-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c7c271f5a65179979d43c6/0481e1da-144b-411f-bacd-3aca25d5b0a4/Dark+Roast+Coffee+Beans+in+Coffee+Roaster_Desktop.jpg Store - Abide Blend - Dark Roast Coffee Beans in Coffee Roaster https://www.abidecoffeecompany.com/shop daily 0.75 2025-04-27
