Can someone help me here. i make my coffee at home with 1/4 milk, 1 shot espresso & the rest hot water. i dont know what to ask for to get something similar when i have coffee at a cafe. Flat whites are too milky & macchiatos are too strong & not enough milk. i usually end up with a long black which i enjoy but its not really what i want. (i know it sounds like an ordinary white coffee from a drip machine but i dont want it made from a drip machine) Is there something out there with a name that i can ask for?

Re: What to ask for??
Yeah Americano sounds about right to me...though when i make it for someone ill often offer some pouring cream instead of milk so you get a mouth feel a bit heavier than milk.
OR just ask for a 3/4 long black with milk on the side(MOS)?

Re: What to ask for??
An American term, Americano is a drink similar to American brewed coffee. It is made with a single or double shot of espresso combined with 6 to 8 ounces of hot water out of an espresso machine, pretty much the same as our long black.
As Luke said, just ask for a 3/4 long black with milk.
