Equipment

  • 1 Espresso machine
  • 1 Coffee grinder
  • 1 Milk Frother

Ingredients

  • 2 Shots Espresso
  • 1 oz Milk
  • Sweeteners or Syrups (Optional)

Instructions

  • Pull a shot of espresso: Use a high-quality espresso blend and make sure to properly dose, tamp, and extract the double shot of Espresso in 30 seconds. You can also use French Press or Moka Pot to make strong coffee.
  • Froth the milk: You'll only need a small amount of milk, about 1-2 ounces. Steam the milk until it's hot and has developed a nice microfoam.
    If your Espresso machine doesn't have the steaming wand you can buy a separate milk frother or you can froth the milk manually with a whisk.
  • Combine: Pour the espresso into a demitasse cup and Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso shot.
  • Add sugar or sweetener if desired, stir, and enjoy!
