Definitions

Barista shorthand for a caffè breve — espresso with steamed half-and-half in place of milk. Heavier, richer, foamier than a latte because the higher fat content whips up like a dream. Standard order at most US coffee shops, almost unheard of in Europe.
“Customer wanted a 16oz vanilla breve, two pumps, extra hot.”
