Wiener Melange

A Wiener Melange

A Wiener Melange (German for "Viennese" and French for "Blend") is "properly" coffee with milk and is similar to a cappuccino but usually made with mild coffee (e.g. mocha), preferably caramelised. The Viennese coffee company Julius Meinl specifies a melange as having "equal parts steamed milk and foam", and serves theirs dusted with cocoa powder.

Ordering a Wiener Melange will often yield the arrival of an espresso con panna even in Vienna, though the latter is properly called a Franziskaner. In English and French, the term café Viennois also usually refers to espresso con panna.
