Основное отличие от латте — в использовании ванильного сахара и сливок вместо молока. Часто подается с сиропом.
Раф-кофе появился в результате экспериментов в московской кофейне «Coffee Bean» в 1996—1997 году.
Back in the mid ’90s, long before anything called Third Wave coffee had arrived in Russia, one coffee drinker’s casual whim gave birth to one of Russia’s most popular drinks.
A regular at Coffee Bean, a shop which would later expand across several regions within Russia, Rafael Timerbaev preferred his coffee with milk.
The drink became a habit for Timerbaev, and soon his friends flocked to the same Coffee Bean to try the famous drink, asking the baristas, “Make that very drink you made for Rafael!” Or just “Raf.” One by one, they fell in love with it at first sip. Or maybe second. Rather than continue to offer the off-the-list concoction at a random price every time—all that cream and sugar adds up—the managers simply added it to the real menu, where it became known as the Raf.
