About the Hungry Jack's Long Black

A Jack's Cafe Long Black is $5.40 and 4 kJ. Four kilojoules, which makes it effectively the lightest thing on the entire Hungry Jack's menu alongside the Short Black.

A long black is espresso poured over hot water, and the order matters. Water first, then espresso on top, which preserves the crema and keeps the drink from tasting flat. An Americano is the reverse, espresso with water added, and it is a noticeably different drink for that reason.

With no milk and no sugar there is nothing in it but coffee and water, which is why the energy figure is what it is. For anyone tracking kilojoules while still wanting coffee, this and the short black are the only options on the menu that cost nothing at all.

It is also the drink that shows the coffee. There is no milk to hide behind, so a poorly pulled shot is obvious in a way it is not in a latte. That makes it a fair test of a cafe.

The Jack's Cafe loyalty card covers it: earn on full price barista coffees, free coffee valid twelve months, pick up only, and it stacks with a voucher.

Who it suits: anyone avoiding dairy, anyone counting kilojoules, and anyone who wants to taste the coffee rather than the milk.

Compare against the Iced Long Black at $5.70 and 7 kJ, which is the cold version.

Tips

  • Water first, always. Espresso poured onto water keeps its crema; water poured onto espresso destroys it.
  • 92C water, not boiling. Boiling water strips the aromatics as the shot lands.
  • Do not stir it. The first sip through the crema is the point of the drink.

Variations

  • Over ice with cold water gives an Iced Long Black.
  • Without the water it is a Short Black.
  • A dash of cold milk on top makes it a long macchiato.

Serve immediately in a warmed cup. Nothing on this menu shows the quality of the coffee more directly.
