The Café Au Lait is a popular drink worldwide, with dozens of traditional variations that depend on the location. The French version differs from the New Orleans version, with even smaller variations between European and American regions. It’s a great drink that can either be light in flavor or have a bitter taste, depending on where you’re ordering.
Cafe au laits are one of the simplest coffee shop drinks to make at home, since no espresso is required.
Café au lait literally translates to “coffee with milk,” which should give you an indication that it’s a hot beverage mixed with milk. While a café au lait can be made with coffee, it’s traditionally made with espresso or Moka. The sweetened milk is often scalded, frothed, or steamed.
You can find café au lait primarily in Spain and South America (Café con Leche), Germany (milchkaffee), and America. If you order a café au lait at Starbucks, they’ll be pretty confused. Order a Caffè Misto instead to get the half milk, half coffee beverage you’re looking for.
Is a Café au Lait a Capuccino?
A café au lait can be a cappuccino if the cup is small enough. A cappuccino is one shot of espresso and steamed milk. If the cappuccino has a ratio of one to one for the espresso and milk, your drink is a café au lait and cappuccino! Although coffee enthusiasts may disagree.
