How does it taste like?
Is Viennese melange like cappuccino?
Vienna Melange is a traditional Viennese coffee, that has some similarities with cappuccino.
They both look similar, but the differences are in preparation and taste.
Vienna Melange coffee is based on milder roast, so the taste of espresso and overall taste is lighter. Cappuccino is based on robust single shot of espresso.
The preparation of Vienna Melange coffee:
1. Shot of mild espresso.
2. Equal parts of coffee and steamed milk.
3. Topped with a gentle layer of milk foam. Sometimes a whipped cream is used instead of milk foam.
4. Optionally, a pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon may be added.
Traditional cappuccino cointains: robust espresso coffee, steamed milk and dense milk foam. The classic ratio is 1:1:1.
Simply said, Vienna Melange coffee is similar to a cappuccino. But it features a milder, less bold taste because it contains lighter espresso.
So the espesso base in Vienna Melange coffee is milder what makes overall taste lighter.
