That is a capuccino, latte, or au lait (depending on the amount of froth or steamed milk, and the prepartion, etc.) A Breve is expresso with half and half. I used to drink lattes but then most coffee houses switched to skim milk or 2% instead of whole milk and that is like water to me.


>I think that much half-and-half would make me ill! Are you sure it's not frothed milk? I used to get coffee at a Puerto Rican place near where I lived in upper Manhattan a few years ago. It was very warm milk with espresso in it. Loved it. Sounds a lot like your Breve.

>>I am the biggest coffee freak I know. Everyone of the employees at the coffee shop I regularly visit know me by name and what I drink. I go once a day including weekends. A large Breve lasts me all day and evening. I actually only drink 1 cup of regular coffee a day and 1 Breve but I get it everyday. The Breve has 2 shots of expresso in it and the remainder is all half & half. Probably the most fattening drink in the world! Now that is a coffee freak!

>>>My favorite person in the world, an eight year old girl, gave me about 10 lbs of different varieties of coffees for Christmas. There are a number of different brands - Zavida and Ghirardelli are a couple of them - and about 30 different types. Everything from Chocolate Rasberry to Creme Brulee. I have a coffee maker at my desk, so I come in every morning and make a cup of one of these. I only have one cup for the day - ok, it's kind of a big cup - and I absolutely love it. Am I much alone, or are there other coffee freaks out there? I also have Earl Grey and Jackson's of Piccadilly teas, but it's not the same as the coffee.
