Coffee first. A little extra always.
The coffee stays dark. The cream takes its time. Then comes the caramel, followed by a tiny pinch of sea salt. Cafecito Cloud is that lovely pause before the first sip.

The cloud is the whole point.
CAFECITO CLOUD · ONE SERVING
Make the kitchen version
A suggested starting recipe inspired by the kitchen video; OyaJava’s filmed pour was made by feel. Adjust the milk, cream and sweetness to your taste.
- 2–3 oz freshly brewed Nespresso coffee, cooled
- 3–4 oz fairlife milk, or your preferred milk
- Ice, enough to fill your glass halfway
- 2 tbsp cold Horizon Organic heavy cream, optional, for the cloud
- 1–2 tsp Ghirardelli caramel, plus a little drizzle
- A tiny pinch of Maldon sea salt
- Add ice to a roomy glass. Pour in the cooled coffee and milk.
- If using cream, froth it with 1 tsp caramel until softly thickened. Spoon over the coffee. Without cream, stir the caramel into the milk.
- Drizzle a little caramel over the top. Finish with a tiny pinch of salt, taste and adjust.
For more coffee up front, start with less milk. For a softer sip, add a splash after tasting. The cream is an optional finish; the coffee is yours to make your way.
