Method
Espresso
- 1
Prepare the espresso
Grind 18 grams of espresso coffee to a fine consistency. Lock the portafilter into your espresso machine and extract a shot using 30 ml of filtered water. The shot should take about 25-30 seconds to pull.
Steamed Milk

Steam the milk
Pour 240 ml of whole milk into a stainless steel pitcher. Use the steam wand of your espresso machine to steam and froth the milk until it reaches about 65°C (150°F). The milk should have a smooth, velvety texture with a thin layer of microfoam.
