1
Grind Espresso Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso beans to a fine consistency.
2
Brew Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew the ground espresso with 240 ml of water to extract a rich coffee shot. This should take about 25-30 seconds.

3
Heat Milk
Pour 240 ml of milk into a steaming pitcher or saucepan and heat it on the stove or with a steam wand until it's hot but not boiling.
4
Froth Milk
Using a steam wand, froth the milk until it has doubled in volume and is creamy. If you're using a saucepan, whisk vigorously for a similar effect.

5
Mix Espresso and Milk
In a large coffee mug, pour the brewed espresso first, followed by the steamed milk. Hold back the foam with a spoon to allow the liquid milk to flow in.
6
Add Optional Toppings
If desired, sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top, and add sugar to taste for sweetness.
7
Serve Immediately
Serve the café latte hot, and enjoy!
