    Correct Answer
    A. Lungo has more water
    Explanation
    Lungo coffees are typically served in a larger cup than espresso. An espresso shot is usually around two sips, while a lungo is a full small cup. A shot of espresso uses about 30ml of water. Lungo uses about twice as much water, around 60 ml, as an espresso. This means it takes longer to pull and produces about twice as much coffee as an espresso.
