The Italians used the term caffè latte domestically, but it is not known from cafés such as Florian in Venice or any other coffee houses or places where coffee was served publicly. The Austrian-Hungarian empire (Central Europe) had its own terminology for the coffees being served in coffee houses, while in German homes it was still called Milchkaffee. The French term café au lait was used in cafés in several countries in western continental Europe from 1900 onward, however, the term café crème was used in France for coffee with milk or cream. Kenneth Davids maintains that ".breakfast drinks of this kind have existed in Europe for generations, but the (commercial) caffè version of this drink is an American invention". Melange or café au lait was introduced in Austrian coffeehouses around 1850.Īccording to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term caffè e latte was first used in English in 1867 by William Dean Howells in his essay "Italian Journeys". Public cafés in Europe and the USA seem to have no mention of the terms until the twentieth century, although Kapuziner is mentioned in Austrian coffee houses in Vienna and Trieste in the second half of 1700s as "coffee with cream, spices, and sugar" (being the origin of the Italian cappuccino). Caffè e latte, Milchkaffee, café au lait, and café con leche are domestic terms of traditional ways of drinking coffee, usually as part of breakfast in the home.
Coffee was first mentioned in European texts in 1575 in the Aromatum et simplicium aliquot medica-mentorum apud Indos nascientum historia of Charles de l'Ecluse. The Turks were also responsible for introducing coffee to Vienna, Austria in 1529. In France, cafè latte is from the original name of the beverage (caffè latte) a combination of espresso and steamed milk equivalent to a "latte" is in French called un crème ( un grand crème using cream instead of milk) and in German Milchkaffee.Ĭoffee, which was adopted from the Ottoman empire, and milk have been part of European cuisine since the seventeenth century.Ĭoffee was introduced to Europe by the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire during the invasion of Hungary in 1526. In northern Europe and Scandinavia, the term café au lait has traditionally been used for the combination of espresso and milk. The term comes from the Italian caffellatte or caffè latte, from caffè e latte, literally "coffee and milk" in English orthography either or both words sometimes have an accent on the final e (a hyperforeignism in the case of * latté, or to indicate it is pronounced, not the more-common silent final e of English).
Variants include the chocolate-flavored mocha or replacing the coffee with another beverage base such as masala chai (spiced Indian tea), mate, matcha, turmeric or rooibos alternatives to milk, such as soy milk or almond milk, are also used. Caffè latte ( Italian: ), often shortened to just latte ( / ˈ l ɑː t eɪ, ˈ l æ t eɪ/) in English, is a coffee drink of Italian origin made with espresso and steamed milk.
