1 Fill the metal pitcher with 1 cup milk, or 3/4 cup if using a flavour
2 Place thermometer securely inside the steel pitcher.
3 Steam milk between 155ºF and 165F. It will scorch above 170ºF
4 The steam wand should be inserted diagonally just below the surface of the milk. This will create froth necessary for a good latte.
5 When frothing make sure you are creating rotational flow in the steam pitcher,once the temperature of the milk is warm to the touch, raise the steam pitcher to cease frothing and continue to heat to temp indicated above
6 A perfect shot is pulled inside of 21-24 seconds, with the espresso being sweeter when the shots are running closer to 24 seconds.Leaving the shot sitting around will cause it to become bitter.
7 Pour your perfect shot into your coffee mug or equivalent. Do not let your shots sit for longer than 10 seconds without adding milk to them.
8 Texture your milk by rolling it around in the steam pitcher until glossy on the surface.
9 When pouring your steamed milk over the espresso carefully regulate the flow of the foam. Make sure no foam enters the drink until you are about 1/4 in. from the top. The result should be a nice brown foamy top with a small white foam center.
10 The perfect latte - simples
