misto

A misto is a "cafe americano(which is a shot of espresso served over hot water)," with steamed milk on top. Not to be confused with a cafe au lait, which is drip coffee with steamed milk on top.

Customer: "I'd like a misto to go."
Barista: "We don't have those."
Customer: "Can you make me an Americano?"
Barista: "Yes."
Customer: "Can you put some steamed milk on top?"
Barista: "Sure."
Customer: "Than you can make me a misto..."

misto

A type of coffee drink made with steamed milk and coffee instead of espresso. Similar to a latté, only less intense.

You can customize a misto in the same ways you can alter an espresso drink.

americano-misto

An americano is just espresso shots with hot water, and misto simply refers to steamed milk. The drink is made up of equal parts of each, and at Starbucks topped with foam.

My favourite espresso based beverage is an Americano-Misto.

Ventee traditional misto please use soy milk with two blond shots, Affagato and ristretto. I'd also love 3 vanilla pumps at the bottom, then add the coffee.

the misto effect

A condition people go through that makes them obsessed in a love/anger matter.

"Oh wow they're obsessed.. must be the misto effect."

"So true girl, hope they get well soon.. what a pity."
