Cafe Bombon is a tasty sweet coffee recipe<\/h2>\n

Do you start each morning with a cup of coffee? I definitely do!<\/p>\n

I recently purchased an espresso maker<\/a>. It’s been wonderful to be able to make a latte for myself every morning. I think I’m really spoiling myself. <\/p>\n

Since I have been experimenting with my new espresso maker a lot, I have a coffee recipe to share today. <\/p>\n

But don’t worry. Even if you don’t have an espresso maker at home, you can still make this recipe with some adjustments. I’ll share some espresso alternative ideas below. <\/p>\n

What is Cafe Bombon?<\/h2>\n

Have you ever had a Cafe Bombon? This is a delicious way to have sweetened coffee. <\/p>\n

Cafe Bombon is a stunning drink because of the way it is made and served. <\/p>\n

This coffee is typically served in a glass cup. By doing so, it highlights the sharp color difference between the light condensed milk and the dark coffee.<\/p>\n

Before you drink it, you mix it with a spoon. But not until then. Some shops even serve the condensed milk on the side to allow you to pour it in yourself. <\/p>\n

It is popular in Spain. But recently I’ve seen it on some various coffee shop menus. <\/p>\n

It’s still not easily found though. So here’s the recipe so you can try it at home. <\/p>\n

How to make Cafe Bombon<\/h2>\n

This drink is very easy to put together and serve. The biggest question is how do you keep that sharp contrast between the condensed milk and the espresso? <\/p>\n

This is the way I have found works the best. <\/p>\n

First<\/strong>, pour in the espresso. <\/p>\n

Second<\/strong>, slowly drizzle in the condensed milk. Because the condensed milk is heavier, it will naturally sink. <\/p>\n

Alternatively, you could try to do it the other way around. <\/p>\n

However, in my experience, I always end up drizzling the condensed milk onto the side of the glass. In addition, when I pour the espresso on, the hot espresso tends to make a dent in the condensed milk.<\/p>\n

Frothy milk on top<\/h3>\n

In the photos, you can see that I added an additional layer of milk froth. This is optional, but I like the look of the third layer. <\/p>\n

Also, I think the froth makes the drink a little lighter. <\/p>\n

To make this froth, use the milk steamer wand but add extra air. Then, use a spoon to scoop the froth on the Cafe Bombon. And try to scoop just froth on the top of your milk jug. <\/p>\n

Do not pour the foamy milk on. It will mix in with the espresso and you will lose the sharp distinct look.<\/p>\n

Don’t have a steamer wand? No worries. I used a milk frothing wand like this<\/a> for years and it works great<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Can I make Cafe Bombon without an espresso maker?<\/h2>\n

Sure! Yes you can make Cafe Bombon at home, even if you don’t have an espresso maker. <\/p>\n

What substitutes should you use? <\/p>\n

There’s 2 different options that I tend to use as espresso substitutes. <\/p>\n

First, you can make cold brew coffee concentrate at home<\/a>. My step-by-step guide will help you make a cold brew concentrate that can be used as espresso in various coffee recipes. <\/p>\n

Second, you can easily buy cold brew concentrate at the store. Your local coffee shop might sell some you can purchase.<\/p>\n

Here is one of my favorites<\/strong><\/a> that is widely available. Amazon even sells it. <\/p>\n

If you use a cold brew concentrate, just warm it up in the microwave before making this recipe. Since Cafe Bombon is usually served hot, don’t use the concentrate straight from the fridge. <\/p>\n

Are you thinking about buying an espresso maker<\/a>? Here’s my review of the Calphalon\u00a0Temp iQ\u00a0Espresso Machine<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
