7 Brew Brewista Practice Test

What type of milk is used in a breve?

1. Whole milk

2. Soy milk

3. Organic almond milk

4. Smooth mix

The correct answer is: Smooth mix

A breve is a type of espresso-based drink that traditionally uses half-and-half instead of standard milk. The use of half-and-half results in a creamier and richer texture compared to regular milk. This characterizes the breve as a richer and more indulgent version of drinks like lattes or cappuccinos, which typically use regular milk. The choice of "smooth mix" aligns with the creamy nature of half-and-half, supporting this drink's signature texture and flavor profile. While whole milk and various alternative milks can be used in espresso drinks, they do not capture the true essence of what constitutes a traditional breve. Each of those alternatives offers its own unique taste and texture, which diverges from the original breve profile that relies on the richness provided by half-and-half.
