This Caf\u00e9 is one of the emblematic places of the Malaga capital and is part of its history.<\/p>\n<p>Around 1920 it opened its doors, and in 1954 it was completed with the union of three different cafeterias, El Caf\u00e9 Suizo, Caf\u00e9 Munich and Caf\u00e9 Central.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Buy your Malaga coffee\" href=\"https:\/\/malagagourmet.net\/en\/shop\/coffee-and-tea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy your Malaga coffee<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was then that the special nomenclature of Malaga coffees began, ordered from the greatest amount of coffee to the least, the coffees of Malaga are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Caf\u00e9 Solo<\/strong>: It is, as the name itself indicates, a cup only with coffee, for the most daring with this drink.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caf\u00e9 Largo<\/strong>: It is a coffee with just a generous splash of milk, as they also say in Malaga with a finger of milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caf\u00e9 Semi largo<\/strong>: Semi-long coffee is 80% coffee and 20% milk, for coffee lovers but who prefer to slightly lower its flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>S\u00f3lo corto o S\u00f3lo cortado<\/strong> refers to a type of coffee where, even if it is all coffee, the entire cup is not filled, only up to a little more than half. For friends of pure coffee on those days when we need energy but we don&#8217;t have to go too far.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caf\u00e9 Mitad<\/strong>: As its name indicates, it is a coffee that is half milk and half pure coffee, the perfect balance for many.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caf\u00e9 Entre Corto<\/strong>: with more milk than coffee but similar to half, it is the opposite of semi-long coffee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caf\u00e9 Corto<\/strong> : Do you remember the short only coffee? Well, instead of filling more than half a cup of coffee, it is that same measure with milk and the rest of the cup with coffee, staying at 30% coffee and 70% milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caf\u00e9 Sombra<\/strong>: As if it were a shadow we stain the milk with a little coffee, this coffee usually has proportions of 80% milk and 20% coffee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caf\u00e9 nube<\/strong>: even less than a stain, it is as subtle as a cloud in a clear sky, 90% milk and 10% coffee.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, the <strong>Caf\u00e9 No me lo ponga<\/strong>, which is when you obviously don&#8217;t want anything.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although it may seem silly to include this last &#8221;coffee&#8221;, it is one of those that appears on the famous poster where the different types of coffee in Malaga were shown at the Caf\u00e9 Central.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50068\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Mosaico_Central_Photoshop_DIC_2015_grande.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50068\" class=\"size-full wp-image-50068\" src=\"https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Mosaico_Central_Photoshop_DIC_2015_grande.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Mosaico_Central_Photoshop_DIC_2015_grande-200x122.webp 200w, https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Mosaico_Central_Photoshop_DIC_2015_grande-300x183.webp 300w, https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Mosaico_Central_Photoshop_DIC_2015_grande-400x244.webp 400w, https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Mosaico_Central_Photoshop_DIC_2015_grande.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50068\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fuente: <a href=\"https:\/\/cafecentral.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/cafecentral.es\/<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>You already know how to order coffee in Malaga correctly<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know the types of coffees where you can choose when ordering coffee in Malaga, all you have to do is find which of these delicious coffees is most similar to your tastes, and you can always accompany it with one of our typical locas or churros, if you are More sweet, or with a tasty Smurf, if you&#8217;re more salty.
