Look, I know that long black coffees are not considered de rigeur if youre a proper coffee lover. But in the morning at breakfast I want something rather bigger than an espresso with my egg and toast, and I dont want milk with it. I did an introductory Barista course here in Perth a few weeks ago, and can now make a cup of coffee which is light years ahead of anything I have ever managed in the past --- except for a richly flavoured long black like I can get in some of the better cafes. I know I must add some water to the cup first, but am not sure how much, and then of course a pour of 30mls from a double filter does not make a large cup. I am aware that after that, the coffee becomes bitter and begins to alter the taste of the brew.
I have a new Sunbeam 0480 grinder and a Simonelli Oscar, which used in conjunction with Five Senses Coffee makes excellent espressos. But how do I get a satisfying long black coffee with my breakfast? Grateful for advice.
(By the way, I cant believe I tolerated the coffee I used to make for the 10 years before I did the barista course!)
