A breve, also known as a breve latte or a caffe breve, is an espresso based coffee drink.
It combines either one or two shots of espresso with steamed half-and-half instead of milk. For the non-American brewing enthusiast playing at home, half-and-half is made with half whole milk and half heavy cream. It comes premixed in a bottle or carton, or you can make it yourself using equal parts of cream and milk.
As you can imagine, this combination creates a super creamy, rich brew that is sweet yet still bold thanks to the espresso.The Italian word, Breve, means ‘short’ in English. But that doesn’t mean it will always come in a small cappuccino cup. No, every coffee shop will do it slightly differently.
Some might foam the creamy milk blend smooth and velvety, perfect for lattes. Other cafes will froth it nice and thick, similar to the steamed milk they might do for a cappuccino. But however they choose to do it, the ingredients remain the same— always half-and-half, poured over espresso.
