What is the difference between a Breve vs Latte?  Here is everything to know about these two coffee drinks!

What is Breve? 

Breve goes by a few names. Breve Latte, latte breve, caffè breve, or sometimes just Breve.   A Breve is made from espresso and steamed half & half.

Breve Taste

The use of half & half instead of 2% or whole milk makes the drink much more rich and creamy. 

Latte Taste 

A latte is the perfect drink for those who love the taste of espresso but want it toned down just a tad. You'll still get the flavor of the espresso shot but it won't be quite as strong as a straight shot of espresso.

What are the differences?

Difference #1:

 A Breve is made with steamed half and half (or half regular milk and half heavy cream) while lattes are made using steamed milk

MILK 

Difference #2:

The breve coffee drink has much more foam than the latte due to the half and half.
