A specialty coffee favorite known for its seamless integration of espresso and "microfoam." It offers a stronger coffee-to-milk ratio than a latte, resulting in a rich, velvety texture and a punchy caffeine profile.
1. Extract Espresso: Brew a double shot (approx. 60ml) of espresso into a medium-sized cup. 2. Steam Milk: Froth whole milk to a fine microfoam—the bubbles should be so tiny they are nearly invisible, creating a wet-paint sheen. 3. The Pour: Gently pour the steamed milk over the espresso from a slight height to pierce the crema. 4. Finish: As the cup fills, bring the pitcher closer to the surface to create a thin, flat layer of foam (approx. 0.5cm) on top.
