Introduction

For coffee lovers who appreciate the pure, bold flavor of specialty beans, the Long Black at Allure Cafe Perth is the ultimate choice. This traditional beverage is designed to highlight the unique flavor characteristics of our house espresso blend. Unlike other black coffee options, a Long Black preserves the delicate crema and aroma of the espresso, offering a strong, robust, and clean cup that wakes up your senses and starts your day right.

Why You’ll Love It

Why will you love our Long Black? The secret is in the order of preparation. By pulling a double shot of espresso directly over hot water, we protect the beautiful golden crema layer on top. This preserves the coffee’s aromatic oils, ensuring a fuller mouthfeel and a more intense aroma from the first sip. It is a clean, calorie-free coffee that showcases our beans’ notes of roasted almonds and dark chocolate.

Ingredients

• Double shot of premium Arabica house blend espresso
• Filtered hot water
• Thick, aromatic golden crema

Preparation

To prepare the perfect Long Black, our barista first fills a ceramic cup with filtered hot water at approximately 90 degrees Celsius. We then extract a double shot of house espresso directly on top of the water. This order ensures that the espresso’s crema is not destroyed by pouring water over it, preserving the delicate oils and flavor notes of the espresso.

Customisation Options

You can customise your Long Black to suit your taste. Request an extra shot of espresso for an even stronger flavor profile, add a dash of warm milk (full cream, skim, or dairy-free alternatives) on the side, or choose decaffeinated beans. It is also available iced for a refreshing cold drink.

Barista Tips & Serving Excellence

For black coffee enthusiasts, our main tip for drinking a Long Black is to avoid stirring it immediately.
