1
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew a single shot of espresso. Pour it into a pre-warmed cup.

2
Froth Milk
In a small saucepan or using a milk frother, heat the whole milk until it’s steaming but not boiling. Use the frother/steam wand to create a velvety microfoam. For a cappuccino, aim for a thicker foam; for a caffelatte, keep it smoother with less foam; for a flat white, have a silky texture with a higher ratio of milk.

3
Combine Ingredients
Pour the frothed milk over the espresso shot. For a cappuccino, use equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and foam. For a caffelatte, use more steamed milk with a thin layer of foam on top. For a flat white, use a higher ratio of espresso to milk with a velvety microfoam.

4
Garnish
Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top if desired. Add sugar to taste.
