A complete guide to making coffee latte

Coffee latte is a classic drink that mixes espresso and milk. Its rich taste and layered texture make it a favorite of many people. Whether you want to make a delicious latte at home or order a perfect latte in a coffee shop, this article will provide you with detailed production steps and tips.

Preparation

First of all, before we start making it, we need to prepare the following materials:

• Freshly ground coffee beans
• Milk (whole milk or soy milk)
• Granulated sugar or other sweetener (optional)
• A stirring stick or blender
• A container with graduated lines (for measuring milk)
• A glass or ceramic cup (for the finished product)

  1. Prepare the coffee first. Put freshly ground coffee beans into the coffee machine and choose the strength and measuring cup size according to your taste.

  2. Make milk foam. Pour the milk into a container and stir it quickly with a stirring stick or a stirring tool until the milk produces rich foam.

  3. Steam heating. Put the whipped milk foam into the steam machine to heat it, and touch the bottom of the container with your fingers to feel the temperature. When the temperature reaches the right level, stop heating.

  4. Prepare the cup. Pour an appropriate amount of espresso into a glass or ceramic cup and add sugar or other sweeteners according to personal taste.

  5. Pour the milk. Slowly pour the milk with milk foam into the cup containing espresso and sweetener, and gently shake the cup to mix the two thoroughly.

  6. Decoration: If you like, you can sprinkle some cocoa powder or cinnamon powder on the surface of the latte to increase the visual effect.

  Tips and Notes

  1. Using freshly ground coffee beans ensures that the coffee tastes better.

  2. Choose whole milk or soy milk because they contain more fat and can produce richer milk foam.

  3. When frothing milk, you must control the time and strength. Frothing for too long or using too much force will result in uneven frothing of the milk.

  4. Pay attention to temperature control when heating milk to avoid overheating which will cause the taste to deteriorate.

  5. When pouring the milk, try to remain steady and pour at a slow and even pace so that the two liquids can be fully mixed without separating.
