1. Prepare the Espresso: Pull a double ristretto shot (1:1 coffee-to-water ratio) for a rich, concentrated base, aiming for 1.5-2 oz of espresso. If using an Aeropress or Moka pot, brew a concentrated coffee to mimic espresso's intensity.
2. Prepare Milk: Steam cold whole milk with the steam wand. Position the steam wand just below the milk's surface and turn it on. As the milk expands, gradually lower the pitcher to keep the wand submerged. The goal is to create small 5mm microfoam - tiny, uniform bubbles that give the milk a silky texture.
If you dont have a steaming wand use a French press, handheld frother, or whisk to froth heated milk.
3- Pour: Tap the milk pitcher lightly to remove any large bubbles, then swirl to distribute the microfoam. Pour the espresso into a 6-8 oz cup. Slowly pour the steamed milk into the center of the espresso, keeping the cup slightly tilted. Finish with a gentle wiggle to create a simple design on top.
