description Café Lágrima Overview
Café Lágrima is an Argentine milk-based coffee drink made by adding a small amount of espresso to a much larger serving of warm or hot milk. Its name means “tear” in Spanish and refers to the tiny quantity of coffee used to mark the milk. The drink is therefore much milder and more milk-forward than a cortado, making it suitable for people who want coffee aroma and flavor without a full espresso-strength serving.

Lágrima means “tear” in Spanish. The name refers to the tiny amount of espresso that marks or flavors the milk.
How much coffee is in a Café Lágrima?
