Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 shot of espresso about 1.5 oz
  • 6 –8 oz of milk whole milk creates the best foam, but oat or almond milk work too!
  • A milk frother or steam wand
  • A tall glass to showcase the layers!

Method
 

  1. Steam the Milk: Heat your milk using a frother or steam wand until it’s warm but not boiling. Aim for a silky texture with fine microfoam.
  2. Pour the Milk into the Glass: Slowly pour the steamed milk into a tall glass. Let it sit for a few seconds to separate the liquid milk from the foam.
  3. Prepare the Espresso: Brew a single shot of espresso using an espresso machine or Moka pot.
  4. Pour Espresso Over the Milk: Gently pour the espresso into the center of the glass. The hot coffee will settle between the milk and foam, creating the classic Latte Macchiato layers.

Notes

  • Use whole milk: It foams better and holds the layers longer.
  • Let the milk rest for a few seconds: This helps separate the milk from the foam before adding espresso.
  • Pour the espresso slowly: This ensures a defined layer instead of mixing the coffee with the milk.
