What is a caffe misto?

A caffe misto is a coffee drink that consists of half brewed coffee and half steamed milk. It is similar to a latte, but with a higher ratio of coffee to milk. The name "caffe misto" is Italian for "mixed coffee."

To make a caffe misto, freshly brewed coffee is poured into a cup and then topped with steamed milk. It is typically served in a larger cup than a standard espresso drink, making it a popular choice for those who prefer a milder coffee flavor or enjoy the creaminess of milk in their coffee.

Caffe misto can be customized with flavorings like syrups or whipped cream, and can be made with different types of milk, such as whole milk, almond milk, or soy milk. It is a versatile and customizable drink that can be enjoyed hot or iced, depending on personal preference.
