Coffee cultivation in Brazil began in the 18th century, quickly becoming a major economic force. The habit of drinking coffee evolved from large estates offering it to guests, eventually spreading to urban centers and becoming a daily ritual for all social classes. 'Cafézinho' (little coffee) emerged as a symbol of hospitality and connection, while 'Café com Leite' (coffee with milk) provided a milder, accessible option.

Hospitality
Offering a 'cafezinho' to guests is a fundamental act of Brazilian hospitality. It is a welcoming gesture, often marking the beginning or end of a visit.
Social Connection
Coffee breaks are a common way for people to socialize and connect. Sharing a 'cafezinho' with colleagues or friends provides an opportunity to chat and relax.
Daily Ritual
'Cafézinho' is often consumed throughout the day, serving as a pick-me-up and a source of energy. It is commonly enjoyed after meals and during work breaks.

The flavor profile is generally defined by a balance of bitter coffee notes with the sweetness and creaminess of milk. The strength of both ingredients can be adjusted to create a personalized taste.
Cafézinho typically showcases the bold, slightly bitter flavor of strong, Brazilian coffee. The brewing method often involves filtering finely ground coffee through a cloth filter (or paper filter), resulting in a concentrated and aromatic brew. Café com Leite tempers the strong coffee taste with milk, providing a smoother, richer flavor. The type of milk used (whole, skim, plant-based) affects the overall sweetness and texture.

The Right Grind
Use a fine grind for 'cafezinho' to ensure a strong and flavorful brew. For 'cafe com leite', a medium grind may be more suitable to avoid bitterness when mixed with milk.
Filter Quality
Using a good quality filter (cloth or paper) is crucial for achieving a clean and sediment-free cup of coffee. Cloth filters impart a distinct flavor profile.
Milk Temperature
Warm the milk before adding it to the coffee for 'cafe com leite'. This prevents the coffee from cooling down too quickly and enhances the overall flavor.
Sweetness Level
Adjust the sugar level to your preference. Some people prefer 'cafezinho' without sugar, while others prefer it quite sweet. In 'cafe com leite', the milk often provides enough sweetness.
