A Caffè Misto is a coffee drink made with equal parts of brewed coffee and steamed milk. It is also known as café au lait or cafe con leche. Unlike a latte, which uses espresso as the base, a Caffè Misto uses drip-brewed or French-pressed coffee, resulting in a stronger coffee flavor. The coffee-to-milk ratio for the beverage is usually 1:1. The choice of roast is essential, as it can impact the overall taste, such as a dark roast like Starbucks Sumatra, creating a bolder cup. The milk is steamed and added to the coffee, and frothing up the milk is not a necessary step. The beverage can be made without a trace of foam or with very little of it. A grande size Caffè Misto at Starbucks contains just two ingredients: brewed coffee and steamed milk, and has 110 calories.
