Lungo vs Latte

Compare typical café recipes. Exact ingredients, shot counts, and serving sizes still vary by shop.

Lungo
Attribute
Latte

Long and roasty

Extended extraction can produce a lighter body and more bitterness.

Taste

Mild and creamy

More milk softens the espresso and creates a rounder sip.

None by default

Milk is optional rather than part of the definition.

Milk

Milk-forward

Uses more steamed milk than a cappuccino in a typical recipe.

Crema only

Surface crema varies with beans and extraction.

Foam

Thin microfoam

A silky surface supports latte art without a thick cap.

Dose-dependent

Lungo and long-shot conventions vary by café and machine.

Caffeine

Shot-dependent

Similar to a cappuccino when both use the same shot count.

Minimal by default

Additions, not water, change the total.

Calories

Serving-dependent

Often higher in a larger milk serving, but recipes vary.
