• • The iced americano is made by combining espresso with cold water instead of hot water.
  • A lungo is made by extracting an espresso shot for longer giving more volume, but also extracting some bitter flavours.
  • A caffè crema is also made by extracting an espresso shot significantly longer than a lungo.
  • A red eye is made with drip coffee instead of hot water, and may be called a shot in the dark.
• Caffè Americano or Americano is a style of coffee prepared by brewing espresso with added hot water, giving it a similar strength to, but different flavor from, drip coffee. The strength of an Americano varies with the number of shots of espresso and the amount of water added. Most commonly, an Americano is used when one orders a brew-coffee sized drink from an espresso bar.
