Material:

1. strong coffee
2. 3/4 cup (~175 ml) to 1 cup (~235 ml) of milk
3. Flavor syrup (optional)

You need to prepare:

1. Espresso machine with a steam nozzle

8. Coffee cup or equivalent

Making A Latte With An Espresso Machine 1. first heat the cup you want to hold the latte (this step is optional.) If you want to keep your latte warm for a long time, put very hot water into your coffee cup to heat the cup while you cook the milk.

2. pour a cup of milk into a metal water can. If you use flavored syrup, pour 3/4 cup of milk.

Skimmed milk is the most likely to produce foam, but it doesn't taste as good as milk with more fat.

2% milk can easily produce a good foam and add a little milk flavor to the latte.

Whole milk is the most difficult to produce foam, but because it contains so much fat, lattes made with it taste the best.

Be careful not to let the milk temperature exceed 170 degrees Fahrenheit (77 º C), otherwise, the milk will burn.

(optional) if you don't have a thermometer, hold your hand under the water tank. When the water tank is too hot to touch, take it off the steam nozzle after a short time.

Insert the steam nozzle obliquely into the milk and place it just below the surface of the milk. This can create foam. Foam is necessary for making a good latte.

The goal is a small, light foam (called "Micro Foam") rather than a large, dishwashing water like foam. The ideal foam is light and does not affect the taste of coffee.

When generating foam, make sure that a swirl is formed in the cup. When the temperature of the milk can be touched, pick up the cup, stop producing foam, and then continue to heat it to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).

4. put the ground espresso firmly into the filter bucket of the coffee machine. Lock the filter bucket on the brewing head of the coffee machine. Start making espresso now.

Each espresso (30ml) requires 7-8g of ground espresso beans.

Choose the "two" option to make a strong black latte (strong coffee tastes more). Choose the "one" option, and the taste of espresso is more mild.

Pressing down with 30-40 lbs of pressure is ideal. Press down on the scale and see how much force you need to press down on the handle of the filter bucket.

Grind your espresso beans in a disc grinder to make your coffee fresher and easier to control. The disc grinder allows you to control the quality of coffee beans.

 When you do not drink coffee on a particular day, you feel some physical discomfort. And once you reduce your caffeine intake, you also feel similar. All of these signs indicate that your body may have developed a caffeine dependency. In order to escape caffeine dependence before this set of health problems occurs, while still enjoying a delicious cup of coffee every day, you need a caffeine calculator to help you control your daily caffeine consumption. 

5. produce espresso. This is an art form: a perfect espresso has a flowing heart-shaped appearance, a mellow taste, and a layer of cream or foam on the surface.

A perfect espresso is produced in 21-24 seconds. When the time is close to 24 seconds, the espresso will become sweet.

You can control the length of time the coffee is extracted by tamping the ground espresso. If you tamp it firmly enough, the extraction of espresso will be slow and calm. If you don't tamp it hard enough, the extraction of espresso will be too fast.

6. Pour the espresso into a coffee cup or similar container. Immediately afterward, add the milk to the coffee. If necessary, add 1 portion of flavoured syrup to the cup before adding the espresso.

7. put the milk into a tumbler and roll it until the surface of the milk is smooth. Before pouring the milk, place the cup on a surface and tap it down gently.

8. Pour the steamed milk over the espresso. The milk foam falls down smoothly and mixes with the coffee foam.

If you are adventurous, you can create some latte drawing art now.

When pouring the milk, regulate the flow of the foam with a spoon to avoid the foam getting into the drink until the bottle stops at the 3/4 position and you can take away the spoon. The result should be a nice brown foam top with a small white foam in the middle.  Get More About Coffee: A Detailed coffee grind size chart - https://roastercoffees.com/coffee-grind-size-chart/ help you grind your coffee beans freshly and brew more delicious coffee at home.  No Espresso Machine For Lattes 1. Make some strong coffee. A double espresso is OK, or if you have espresso, it is OK.

2. heat 1 cup (~175 ml) of milk over medium heat in a deep pan on the stove. Latte foam made with 2% milk or whole milk is richer, and it is healthier to replace it with skimmed milk.

3. Use a blender to stir the milk on the top of the stove. Exert a little strength. You can also choose to use an electric mixer, or use a food processor to foam the milk.

4. Pour coffee or espresso into a cup. Make sure there is enough room for foam milk.

5. Hold the foam in the deep pan and gently pour the milk into the cup. When most of the milk has been poured into the cup, make the top of the milk foam layered to make it a pleasant treat.

Add a little (very little) vanilla extract to the espresso to make the coffee nutty and sweet.

Tips Before you steam the milk, put the pitcher in the refrigerator to keep it cold. Cold water can give you more time to make better foam.

Espresso consists of three parts: the most important part is the "heart" (light brown); "Taste" (main body of coffee, dark brown); And "cream" (the foam on the coffee surface). You can also add syrup and sugar to get other flavors.
