Product Information

Nicolas Clerc is a barista at Télescope Café in Paris, France. He says that the café au lait consists of a single espresso shot in a 170ml cup, combined with warmed milk. Nicolas says this creates a drinking-temperature beverage that isn’t foamy which can be enjoyed immediately. Tom says: “The cafe au lait is probably the most democratic and accessible milk-based coffee out there. It certainly has its role at the breakfast table and it’s as good as the quality of the ingredients.”

Another advantage of cafe au lait over a latte, other than tasting better? It’s easier to make. The steamed milk for a latte is a little touchy: it requires just the right microfoam texture to make a perfect latte (especially if you’re making latte art). Cafe au lait is a little more free form, and just needs foamy milk! Here are our top methods: These coffees both have their unique flavor experience, and I like both coffees’ flavors. The biggest advantage a café au lait has over a latte is making this coffee with your favorite brewed coffee as the basis. In France, it’s quite common to be asked [for a café au lait], but customers expect a smooth cappuccino, not a dark drip coffee with unsteamed milk.” He adds: “I like to listen carefully to what clients want, and [meet] their expectations as close as we can.” If you’re looking for a caffeinated drink with steamed milk but don’t want to pay for a pricy latte, get a a Caffè Misto since it’ll be about half the price. Grab an espresso drink like an Americano, Macchiato, Cappuccino, Flat White, Mocha, Iced Latte, or Iced Vanilla LatteAccording to Tom Clark, who is the co-founder and President of Coutume Café in Paris, France, the café au lait is enjoyed in an oversized mug or even a bowl. He tells me that this is to allow the drinker to dunk their pastries into the coffee during breakfast.

There are also drinks which contain the same ingredients, but are prepared differently. In Spain, for example, the café con leche is made with scalded milk, not steamed milk. In Switzerland, however, the café renversé is made by adding espresso to milk, rather than the other way around.
