Equipment

  • Espresso machine
  • Steaming Wand or Milk frother

Ingredients

  • 14-16 grams Coffee grounds
  • 6-10 oz Whole Milk
  • Sugars or Syrups (Optional)

Instructions

  • Pull a double shot of espresso using your espresso machine.
    Make sure the espresso is freshly ground and tamped down firmly in the portafilter to ensure the best flavor and extraction. 
  • Steam 8-10 ounces of milk in a milk-steaming pitcher. Fill the pitcher about 1/3 to 1/2 full with cold milk. Position the steam wand just below the surface of the milk, and turn on the steam. 
    The milk should be steamed to around 130-150°F, which is the optimal temperature for a latte.
  • Pour the steamed milk into the latte cup over the freshly pulled shots of espresso.
    Try to pour in a way that creates a latte art pattern if you desire.
  • Scoop a small amount of the frothed milk from the top of the steamed milk in the pitcher, and place it on top of the latte.
    This creates a contrast in texture and enhances the overall flavor of the drink.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, cocoa powder or grated nutmeg on top of the foam. You can also add syrups like vanilla to sweeten and flavor the latte.
