Lungo: More water (about 1.5x volume) is let through the ground coffee, yielding a weaker taste (40mL) I guess the opposite would be Ristretto or Espresso Corto: with less water, yielding a stronger taste (10–20 mL) source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso#Variations Nice one Joe but my favourite espresso is not included!
