When the moment calls for something extra special, go all in with half-and-half in a rich, indulgent breve! The breve stands out in the world of coffee for its exceptional creaminess and dessert-like experience, with a top layer that resembles freshly whipped cream. Dessert for breakfast, anyone?
What Makes a Breve Special?
Unlike a latte that uses regular milk, a breve (also known as a café breve or breve coffee) uses steamed half-and-half — a perfect blend of half whole milk and half cream. This simple substitution creates a velvety texture that feels smooth on the palate, and has a naturally sweeter taste without additional sweeteners.
The result? A fluffy, creamy concoction that transforms your coffee break into a moment of pure indulgence! Breves are also popular with Keto-curious coffee lovers, since they’re considered a low-carb choice when compared with regular milk.
A Symphony of Flavors
While a classic breve is fabulous on its own, we also love to mix up the creamy canvas with dashes of flavor. Try these popular blends on your next visit to The Human Bean!
