Espresso
Milk
Method
Preparing Espresso
- 1
Brew the Espresso
In an espresso machine, add 2 tablespoons of espresso coffee grounds to the portafilter. Place it in the machine and brew with 60 ml of water. Once brewed, the espresso should have a rich, dark color with a layer of crema on top.
Steaming Milk
- 2
Steam the Milk
Pour 30 ml of whole milk into a steaming pitcher. Use a steam wand to froth the milk until it reaches a velvety texture and is warmed. The milk should not be boiling, just hot enough to create microfoam.
Assembling the Macchiato
- 3
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a small cup, pour the brewed espresso. Using a spoon, gently add the steamed milk on top of the espresso, allowing the foam to float on the surface, creating a 'stain' or 'mark' on the espresso.
