1
Grind Coffee
Grind the espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency. Measure out 18g of ground coffee.
2
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, heat 60 ml of water to around 90-96°C. Brew the ground coffee using the machine to produce a rich espresso shot.

3
Heat Milk
Pour 150 ml of your chosen milk into a steaming pitcher. Steam the milk using the steam wand of your espresso machine until it reaches around 65-70°C, creating a velvety microfoam.
4
Froth Milk
While steaming, incorporate air into the milk to create a frothy texture, ensuring not to overheat or scald the milk.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the steamed milk over the brewed espresso to create either a cappuccino (equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and microfoam) or latte (more steamed milk and less foam).
6
Serve
Serve the cappuccino or latte in a pre-warmed cup alongside 2 pieces of biscotti for a delightful pairing.
