What is Bianco Piccolo for milk?
The term “Bianco Piccolo” typically refers to a type of Nespresso capsule specifically designed for creating milk-based drinks. It is not a specific milk product itself. The Bianco Piccolo capsules are designed to produce a balanced and flavorful espresso shot that pairs well with milk, allowing you to create a variety of milk-based beverages like cappuccinos, lattes, or macchiatos.
What is the difference between a latte and a piccolo latte?
A latte is a coffee drink that consists of one shot of espresso and a larger amount of steamed milk, resulting in a milder coffee flavor. It is served in a larger cup. On the other hand, a piccolo latte has the same amount of espresso but is served in a smaller cup with less steamed milk, creating a stronger coffee flavor and a richer espresso-milk balance. The piccolo latte is a bolder and more concentrated version of the traditional latte.
