Birth Coffee
Café au Lait
Café au Lait was born in France in 1685, a homestyle beverage combining equal parts coffee and warm milk. It originated when Dr. Monin, physician to the King of Grenoble, added milk to soften coffee's bitterness. In France, there's a tradition of drinking it generously from large café au lait bowls during breakfast, enjoyed while dipping bread. This drink, which makes strong coffee gentler on the stomach while promoting wakefulness, symbolizes family breakfast time and has been loved across generations. While consumption has declined in France due to modern health consciousness, its warm and nurturing flavor continues to be cherished worldwide as a perfect symbol of family bonds and everyday happiness.
