Café Bombon: a spanish coffee from... Asia

Coffee fits well with milk - even light coffee lovers admit it. All the more so when talking about a delicious Café Bombon!

Café Bombon has its roots in Valencia, Spain, but its reputation has slowly spread to the rest of Spain. In Spanish, his name means something like "coffee candy", and his name gives a good idea of ​​what to expect from a Café Bombon.

Its preparation is very simple and brings to mind recipes from Asian coffee culture such as Kopi Susu Panas from Malaysia or Coffee Ron from Thailand, coffees served with generous doses - Café Bombon is nothing more from a mighty espresso served with evaporated milk in a 1: 1 ratio. The main difference between his Asian cousins ​​is that while Asians love filter coffee, Café Bombon has espresso as its main ingredient.

In the Spanish cafes, Café Bombon is served in a transparent glass, for a more impressive serving. Traditionally, in a glass of espresso glass, we gently pour evaporated milk, which sinks due to its weight, creating a distinctly coated drink. The result is a sweetened coffee, which after mixing more or less resembles candy - hence its name!
