1. Understand the basic composition of latte

Latte is the perfect combination of espresso and milk. Espresso is the basis of the whole drink. Its rich taste and the dense texture of milk complement each other to form a perfect latte.

2. Prepare tools and materials

Tools : coffee machine, manual or electric steam coffee machine, measuring cup, manual or automatic milk frothing cup, timer.

Ingredients : high-quality coffee beans, milk (preferably whole milk), sugar, and milk foam.

3. Make espresso

1. Preheat the coffee machine and ensure the water temperature is appropriate.

2. Use a measuring cup to measure out an appropriate amount of coffee beans and grind them into the size of fine sugar.

3. Put the ground coffee powder into the coffee machine and turn on the coffee machine to make espresso.

4. While waiting, make sure the coffee machine has moderate pressure and the extracted espresso has a rich color.

4. Make milk foam

Milk foam is an important part of latte, which adds rich taste and delicate foam to the drink.

1. Pour the milk into the milk frothing cup and add appropriate amount of sugar.

2. Use a steam coffee machine to heat the milk, stirring constantly to fully mix the milk and steam.

3. When the milk becomes warm and fine foam appears, stop heating. Be careful not to overheat it to avoid destroying the taste of the milk and the fineness of the foam.

5. Latte Art Skills

In order to enhance the appearance of drinks, latte art techniques are also essential.

1. Pour the prepared milk foam into the cup and gently shake the cup to mix the milk foam and espresso evenly.

2. Use manual techniques to pour the milk from the cup, while using your fingers to block the mouth of the cup to create a vortex effect.

3. Practice repeatedly to master the basic techniques of latte art to make your latte more attractive.

6. Notes

1. The choice of coffee beans is crucial and directly affects the taste of coffee. Choose coffee beans that suit your taste and constantly try and adjust the grinding fineness to achieve the best results.

2. The choice of milk is equally important. Whole milk has a moderate fat content and can form a rich taste and delicate foam. You can also choose to use plant milk instead of animal milk to enrich the diversity of the drink.

3. Pay attention to hygiene and safety during the production process to avoid burns. The amount of sugar can be adjusted appropriately according to different taste requirements.

Through the above steps, I believe you have mastered the basic method of making latte coffee.
