Ordering coffee in Spain can be quite confusing if you are not used to the local terminology. Can’t tell the difference between cafe manchado, cafe solo, bombon etc_ Then take a look at our guide : How to order coffee in Spain.
The Classics
Cafe Solo
Cafe con Leche
Cafe con Leche is made of half a cup of black coffee – half a cup of hot milk.
- If you want cold milk to be added ask for ” cafe con leche fria“
- If you want more coffee than milk ask for “cafe con leche corto de leche“
- If you want more milk than coffee ask for “cafe con leche corto de cafe“
Americano
Americano is a Cafe Solo with added hot water. It is much smaller than the English version of an Americano though. If you want to add water yourself ask your waiter for some ” agua caliente aparte“.
