What is Starbucks Ristretto Bianco?

Starbucks Ristretto Bianco combines ristretto espresso shots with steamed milk. Ristretto is pulled with less water than a standard espresso, giving the coffee a concentrated, aromatic character; the milk turns it into a smooth, mellow cup rather than a straight shot.

It is typically served hot, with a creamy texture and espresso flavour that remains noticeable beneath the milk. Enjoy it as a café pick-me-up or alongside a pastry; for many English-speaking coffee drinkers, it fits naturally into a breakfast or mid-morning break. Milk contributes much of its protein and carbohydrate, so it is more substantial than plain espresso. If you prefer a lighter drink, choose a smaller cup or ask for less milk.
