Latte is the gentlest member of the espresso family -- lots of milk, thin foam, espresso present but never overpowering. That is why it becomes the everyday cup for so many: enough caffeine, enough aroma, but always approachable.
Pull 1-2 espresso shots. Steam 180-240ml of milk at 55-65 degrees -- this time with less air than a cappuccino, creating microfoam so fine the bubbles are nearly invisible. Pour slowly, letting milk flow evenly into the espresso. If you want to try latte art, this is the moment -- but even without drawing anything, the latte is delicious.
Latte is the gateway into home espresso. The milk embraces the espresso, making everything approachable -- even for absolute beginners.
