Customer Review
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!
