Americano and long black

Espresso and hot water

The Silvano has no hot-water tap, and the importer's manual describes none. Boil a kettle.

Boil a kettle and let it stand for a minute.
Americano: pull a double shot into a mug, then add 100 to 150 ml of hot water.
Long black: pour 100 to 120 ml of hot water into the cup first, then pull the double shot onto it.

Water first keeps the crema on top. Whole Latte Love's long black is a double over about 120 ml of water.
