*Caffè creama* isn't iced coffee cooled down — it's whipped to a pale mousse before it meets the glass. No ice, no dilution, no compromise toward summer. The glass mug is the tell: this drink wants to be seen through, not disguised. Rome's answer to heat, still refusing to apologize for being coffee. RR
