1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew one shot of espresso into a coffee cup.
2
Heat the Milk
In a saucepan or using a steam wand, heat the milk to about 150°F (65°C) without boiling it. If you prefer a cappuccino, you can use less milk.
3
Froth the Milk
If using a steam wand, froth the milk until you achieve a creamy texture with microfoam. For a latte, you want more steamed milk; for a macchiato, use less and top with frothed milk.
4
Combine and Serve
Pour the steamed milk over the espresso for a latte, or add the frothed milk for a cappuccino or macchiato. Add cocoa powder, cinnamon, or sweetener if desired. Serve immediately.
