      The double espresso on top of non boiling water and served asap sounds right to me too.......... Ray.

        Pouring the water over the shot also kills the crema.

          About 50ml of hot water (not boiling) in a mug, then pour the total contents of a 3 cup moka pot in. Works for me.

            Thanks for all replies , I think Ill go with a shot on top of hot water as this seems to make sense . One more question , what is a tulip cup ?

              Dont believe that this is a singularly American prerogative, Ive had plenty of brews from establishments around the country that tried to pass off dishwater as espresso,

                If its served by the cafe at the back of the Bourke St Melbourne skyscraper which houses thousands of employees of the major Australian telecommunciactions company, its bottom to 1 cm from the top of a 220ml cap. cup in 6 seconds last time I looked....

                    I prefer the double shot on top of hot water.

                    So many places make piss-weak swill and so hot I have to sit there for 5-10 mins before I can drink it (feel like I need to ask for an ice cube).

                    PS - If someone tried to pass off plunger as a long black I wouldnt be happy.

                        So confusing, i think we need a "coffee snobs standard" drink list.

                          I had a friend over tonight, she drinks long black all the time. So with approx 60 mills of non boiling water I pulled a 60 mill double shot of indian monsooned peaberry on top of it. It produced a great crema which almost lasted the duration of the drink, not only was she very impressed but so was I. It was the longest lasting non milk crema Ive ever seen, I wonder if there is a formula for it. ie. precise water temp or something else... or possibly just the peaberry quality.......

                            I am just finishing off my latest roast of that been Ray....and the crema is plentiful and long. I made a long black the other night and it was very good.

                            Cheers
