 The Best EspressoAug 29, 2009
If you like a "long-pull" espresso, i.e., somewhat more than a double, then this is the espresso for you -- none better anywhere. And with the iPerEspresso Coffee Maker, you just can't make a better cup of espresso, whether decaf, dark roast, or medium roast.

 Personal Preference - Go for the Dark RoastFeb 02, 2011
By Shawn Whaley
If you are fan of the Illy IperEspresso medium roast, then you'll probably enjoy the Lungo. I'm a huge fan of the dark roast capsule (see my other reviews), but the Lungo didn't suit my taste buds. I found it comparable to a strong cup of Colombian roast arabica. And, I prefer my espresso to taste, well, like espresso.
I tried the Lungo because I wanted a longer pour. I get every last drop out of the dark roast capsules, probably waiting too long to stop the brewing cycle. The two ounces of espresso-magic-in-my-mouth always ends too soon, and I'm left wanting more. I thought a larger cup of espresso would be the answer, but this didn't do it for me. If I want coffee, I'll use my coffee press.
I still gave this product 4 stars because, although it isn't for me, the Lungo still produces an exceptional cup of espresso. I just wish they used dark roast instead of medium.
As a side note - the size/design of this capsule looks the same as the other roasts, yet it seems to allow steam to travel through the pod faster. When I brew my dark roast, it usually takes about 30 - 40 seconds to get two ounces of espresso. The first time I used the Lungo I turned my back for 20 seconds and my illy cappuccino cup (5 ounces) was overflowing. So, yeah - pay attention!

A really good brewApr 26, 2011
By nonna sez
Metodo "lungo" is my favorite of the illy coffees. It makes a rich, not bitter coffee and a really good homemade cappucino.
Good but is dilutedNov 28, 2011
By Rob Maxine
A fan of illy coffee made right. The lungo gets you a longer pour but its seems that it comes at the cost of concentration. Still a tasty brew but could be fine tuned to make it better. Still good but I prefer the standard medium or dark. I do love the convenience of the iperespresso system overall.
