Hello fellow CSs,
Just wondering about technique in making A "long black" as this is all my father will drink, should I pour the espresso shot before or after adding boiling or hot water?
Is it better to brew the shot in a separate glass and add it to the water?
Dont particularly want to ruin any crema so stirrin sounds a bad idea? Will the coffee mix evenly with the water regardless?
So many variable, as with everything coffee!
Hope this sparks some discussion
