Method

Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Use an espresso machine to brew 18 grams of finely ground espresso coffee. Ensure that the machine is preheated for optimal extraction.

Milk Steaming

  1. 2

    Steam the Milk

    Pour 240 ml of whole milk into a steaming pitcher. Insert the steam wand into the milk and steam until the milk is hot (about 150°F or 65°C) and has a velvety texture with microfoam.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine and Serve

    In a pre-warmed cup, pour the brewed espresso. Then, slowly add the steamed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon. Finally, spoon a light layer of foam on top of the latte. If desired, dust with cocoa powder or cinnamon for added flavor.
