Ingredients

  • 14 g coffee
  • milk

Method

Add 14 g of coffee to your portafilter, tamp it down, making sure there are no stray grains; then extract a dopio, or double espresso into a cup.

Purge your steam wand to get any old water out from the inside, then steam your milk with the steam wand just under the surface.

Swirl the milk around and give it a few taps on a surface to get rid of any large bubbles, this will give it a nice glossy finish.

Pour your milk over your coffee.
