How To Make A Double Macchiato

So, the first thing we need to do is to extract a doppio, a double espresso. We take our portafilter and we're going to put 14 grams of coffee into the bottom of our portafilter. Nicely level it up and then we're going to tamp it down.

We put our tamper on the top and we just press down in a pressure so that it sorts of bites back at us, clean off your filter of the outside edge and then once again. We attach the portafilter into the group head, press the double espresso extraction button and put our coffee cup underneath. Whilst we're doing that, we're going to steam our milk.

We need to purge the steam wand and we insert to the tip just underneath the surface of the milk, open up the steam wand and get a little bit of water, a slight whooshing sound going in the milk. Then, we're going to make it a little bit flash on the top. Instead of just putting a dollop onto the top, we're going to create a little pack and we're going to put three hearts on the top.

It's very easy, very simple but it's very good at impressing people, looks good on the top of coffee. If you just want to take a little bit of the foam off of the top, so we're going to create three dots just around the outside edge of the coffee. 1, 2 and 3.

Make sure your dots are a reasonable size, not too close together. You don't want them mixed together too much. Then, we're going to take this, we're going to run it in a circle from the crema layer of the coffee, that's the dark caramel piece of the coffee, around the inside in the middle of the three white dots that we put in.

And that's how to make a double macchiato. .
