1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 18g of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency.
2
Brew the Espresso
Place the ground coffee into the espresso machine's portafilter. Add 60ml of water to the machine and brew the espresso shot until you have about 30ml of liquid. This should take about 25-30 seconds.

3
Heat the Milk
Pour 240ml of whole milk into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the milk is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
4
Froth the Milk
Once heated, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it is light and creamy with a velvety texture.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso shot. Slowly add the frothed milk on top, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.
6
Add Flavoring (optional)
If desired, drizzle 15ml of vanilla syrup over the top or sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder for added flavor.
