Literally just tried it with a lengthened espresso and it’s immediately noticeable!
Edit: the undissolved salt did kinda sink to the bottom leaving a pretty unpleasant last mouthful. Shoulda stirred it in rather than just vaguely spinning the glass mb otherwise it’s very drinkable. Overall I felt it kinda flattens the flavours. If you like the bracing bitterness like me though then yeah you’ll feel that something’s missing. Will keep the tech up my sleeve though.
Just adding a splash of hot water to make it ‘longer’ (diluted, more volume). For reference, where I live an espresso is a short black and an Americano is a long black.
A pinch like hexbear said

Yeah, it’s gotta be a very tiny pinch for short espresso. Like 5 grains or so.
What the heel is a lengthened espresso?
