Caffè d'orzo

Caffè d'orzo (pronounced [kafˌfɛ dˈɔrzo], Italian for "coffee of barley", often shortened to simply orzo) or barley coffee is a type of hot drink, originating in Italy. Orzo is a caffeine-free roasted grain beverage made from ground barley (orzo in Italian, from Latin hordeum).[1] It is an espresso-style drink, and when prepared from the roasted barley directly, it can easily be made in typical espresso machines and coffeemakers. In Italy it is widely available in coffee vending machines and traditionally considered a coffee substitute for children.[citation needed]

Orzo latte

In Italy caffè d'orzo is made in traditional Italian espresso machines in cafes. Italian families tend, instead, to make it using an orziera, a special moka pot adapted to barley.[citation needed]

During World War II and in the post-war era, caffè d'orzo and chicory became popular substitutes for coffee, which was expensive due to rationing and food shortages.[citation needed] In European countries with a very long post-war period, like for instance Spain, this[which?] image of barley as a cheap surrogate of coffee still remains in the memory of the population.[citation needed] In Italy there are dozens of roasters making caffè d'orzo and it is a very popular drink.[citation needed] Outside of Italy the consumption of caffè d'orzo as a healthy drink is also increasing slowly, especially in Germany.[citation needed]

A variety called café de cebada ("coffee of barley") in Spanish and simply Cevada in Portuguese is available in Latin American markets, though it is often more of a roasted barley tea than a coffee-like beverage. Instant roasted barley drinks are sold under various brand names (although most of them are made with a mix of cereals, not only barley) such as Caro (Europe, New Zealand), Pero (Switzerland, US), Barleycup (UK) and Ecco (Chile), among others.
