What people say

  • Mine still says 5/13 ( just tried it as an espresso and would not recommend, very weak)

  • The Zurich Lungo is a pretty nice lungo. ... if you like a strong, black coffee, it would be worth a try. ... you can clearly taste the notes of cereals.

  • Very pleasant drink. Predominately roasted taste, which quickly gives way for a hint of sweet citrus. Quite elegant, reminds me of great Japanese coffees, easy to drink.
