How to make a Latte

Latte: 1 or 2 standard shots of espresso, mixed with twice as much hot milk.

How to make a Latte??? This is another easy one. Traditionalist say the coffee and milk should be poured at the same time.

Steps for making a Latte:

  1. Get hold of some dark roasted espresso beans. Oily-looking is the choice bean here. Use the darkest of the espresso coffee beans. Traditional Italian Style!
  2. You want to grind these espresso beans until they are very fine.
  3. Pack the grinds into the group (handle) of the espresso machine.
  4. Place a your cup/s under the group. Turn on your espresso machine. You should see a hazel brown crema appear at the surface of the coffee when its finished.
  5. Heat and foam your milk.
  6. Pour your hot milk into the espresso.

Note: When pouring in the milk make sure it mixes well with the espresso. I did mention that traditionalist say that a latte should have the espresso and milk pour into the glass at the same time. Using a Moka pot makes this easy. If you have an espresso machine, I wouldn’t worry too much, you will still get the same result, a great Latte.

Now all you have to do is enjoy your Latte!!
