This was my wife’s problem when we were in Europe. She prefers the americano style where it’s a mug’s worth of coffee, instead of espresso. So whenever we got coffee, I diluted the espresso with some water for her.
But why would you buy an espresso in the first place? Sure it depends on the country but in most places you can get a proper coffee with no need to dilute it with cold water.
That’s the way to go, and it’s called an americano.
A real lungo is slightly different in italy (or it should be!)with just a coarser grind. In france it’s the same just moar of the water getting pushed through the grounds.

But that is what an americano is? An espresso is supposed to be about 30ml.
Yes, exactly. Water isn’t free in a lot of places in Europe, so we always brought our own water bottle to make americanos.

The cafes we went to just didn’t have them available. Like the meme, all the coffee options were small cups.
Espresso is proper coffee!!
