American Coffee and long black
It adds to the confusion. There are actually two ways to make American coffee. One way is to pour espresso on a tall cup of hot water, which is called "long black". Another method, on the contrary, is to add espresso and then water, which is called "American coffee".
Personally, I prefer the long black method because it tends to retain crema and is smaller, so the flavor is stronger.
To be honest, even if you order an American coffee, many baristas will make a long cup of black coffee for a simple reason, because the end result is a better-tasting drink with the same ingredients and extra cream.
