What is breve coffee?

Here's some information about breve coffee:

A Breve (pronounced "breh-vay") is an espresso-based drink made with steamed half-and-half instead of milk. This gives it a richer, creamier, and more decadent flavor profile compared to a latte or cappuccino.

Here are some key characteristics:

• Base: Espresso shots, just like a latte or cappuccino.
• Milk Component: Steamed half-and-half (a mixture of equal parts milk and cream). This is what distinguishes a breve from other espresso drinks. The high fat content in the half-and-half produces a luxurious texture.
• Flavor: Rich, creamy, and sweet. Some describe it as having a buttery flavor. Because of the higher fat content of half-and-half the breve can also be said to have a richer body and feel in the mouth compared to the standard espresso and milk drinks.
• Foam: Typically, a breve will have a thin layer of foam on top, similar to a latte. However, the foam might not be as stable or as abundant as latte foam due to the higher fat content of the half-and-half.

Compared to other espresso drinks:

• Latte: A latte uses steamed milk and a thinner layer of foam than a cappuccino. A breve is richer and creamier than a latte due to the half-and-half.
• Cappuccino: A cappuccino has equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and foamed milk. A breve will be less foamy and has a richer taste than a cappuccino.
• Americano: An Americano is made with espresso and hot water. A breve is richer and more creamy.

In summary, if you're looking for an indulgent, creamy coffee treat, a breve is an excellent choice. Be mindful of the higher calorie and fat content compared to other coffee drinks. You can also modify it with different Syrups or Flavorings.
