Coffee Ingredients

Milk Ingredients

Method

Coffee Preparation

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency using a coffee grinder.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew the ground coffee with 240 ml of filtered water to extract a rich espresso shot. This should take about 25-30 seconds.

Milk Preparation

  1. 3

    Steam the Milk

    Pour 60 ml of whole milk into a frothing pitcher and steam it using a milk steamer until it reaches about 65°C (149°F) and has a velvety microfoam texture.

  2. 4

    Create Microfoam

    While steaming, tilt the pitcher slightly to create a whirlpool effect, which helps to incorporate air into the milk for a creamy texture.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Pour the brewed espresso shot into a small cup. Then, gently spoon the steamed milk over the espresso, allowing a small amount of the foam to sit on top.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade macchiato.
