Ingredients
Coffee
Milk
Optional Flavoring
Coffee Preparation
1. Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 18g of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso preparation.
2. Brew the Espresso
In an espresso machine, use the ground coffee to brew a shot of espresso with 60ml of hot water. Ensure the water temperature is around 90-95°C (194-203°F) for optimal extraction.
Milk Frothing
3. Heat the Milk
Pour 150ml of whole milk into a steaming pitcher and heat it on the steam wand of the espresso machine until it reaches about 65°C (149°F).
4. Froth the Milk
While heating, angle the steam wand so that the milk circulates and creates microfoam. Froth until you achieve a velvety texture and glossy finish.
Assembly
5. Combine Espresso and Milk
Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a coffee cup. If using, add 15ml of vanilla syrup for sweetness. Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.
