How to make a Lungo coffee?

What is a Lungo? In the 21^st century, there are so many different coffee recipes being released that it’s very hard to keep track. You’ve got at least 5 new fads being dropped on us every week and it can be quite stressful for our coffee bodies to try to experience them all. Because let’s be honest here, we have to try them all. Every single one. Nonetheless, it great that the coffee community is finding creative ways to maintain relevance and the MF Team absolutely endorses it. The word ‘Lungo’ is actually Italian for “long” and we already know what to expect from Italian creations… intricacy and perfection. The main difference with the Lungo coffee is how much the single shot of espresso (MF Coffee in stock now) is stretched, with water, to create this beverage. The typical shot of espresso would contain 30 millilitres of water taking around 30 seconds to be pulled however with the Lungo, due to the doubling of the water content, pulling can take up to a minute.

Due to increased water content, Lungo coffees consequently have larger shots. Most espresso machines have a dedicated function to make this type of coffee however if not, as long as your machine can alter the water content and pull time then you’re in business.

The taste when drinking a Lungo is much more passive when in comparison to a ristretto for example and while the drink is perhaps is less strong, it certainly packs that bitter punch die-hard coffee drinkers crave. This bitterness phenomenon can be credited to the fact that most of the bitterness-causing components of coffee are dissolved later in the extraction process. So, extending the amount of time needed to pull the shot, allows for more time for these to be incorporated into the brew. Despite this bitterness, an MF Lungo will possess a smokier taste as a result of the dilution process.

The Lungo coffee is particularly interesting, it provides a very unique taste and also requires a high level of detail in order to be executed well, here are the steps into making an MF Lungo.

1) Adjust Your Grind

2) Grind Your MF Coffee Beans

3) Level and Tamp Your Coffee

4) Lock Preinfusion into Machine and Brew

5) Brew the Long Shot

6) Finish the Shot Pull

7) Enjoy Your MF Lungo

Very complex but trust us when we say this, it’s worth it!

Benefits of nutmeg

Good morning my MF Products Blog readers, today we’re going to be looking at the benefits of MF Nutmeg . Nutmeg is popularly known as Jatiphal and Jaiphal in India. It’s one of the oldest spices, like pepper and clove and it’s been cultivated for over 1000 years. Nutmeg is a spice made from the seed of Myristica fragrans, a tropical tree that is native to the Banda island of Indonesia but also commonly grown in the Caribbean and other tropical areas of the world such as the St John Parish in Jamaica. When it comes to the actual characteristics, the nutmeg seed is oval-shaped, about an inch long, slightly wrinkled, dark brown on the outside and light brown on the inside.
