Breve Before, you mentioned "Brevé Any milk based Espresso drink using semi-skimmed milk." So if Breve is with half and half, then what is the former called? (just curious) Thanks, dsal

Breve? I read earlier in this thread that a Breve was partly skimmed milk in a cappuccino. I like a cappuccino made with steamed Half and Half instead of milk, and a coffee shop told me that was called Breve. What is that called? dsal
