Ingredients
  

  • Freshly Ground Coffee Beans
  • Milk
  • Sugar or sweetener optional

Equipment

  • Keurig
  • PodMkr
  • Milk Frother

Method
 

  1. Preparation: Use your PodMkr to grind your favorite coffee beans. This step ensures that your espresso shot will be as fresh and flavorful as possible.
  2. Brewing the Espresso: Fill your PodMkr's reusable pod with the freshly ground coffee and insert it into your Nespresso machine. Brew a standard shot of espresso. Pour this into your latte glass.
  3. Frothing the Milk: While your espresso is brewing, froth the milk. For a traditional Latte Macchiato, you want more foam than steamed milk. Once frothed, gently pour the milk into the glass with the espresso, creating a clear layer of the espresso.
  4. Sweetening (Optional): If you prefer your coffee sweetened, you can stir in sugar or a sweetener of your choice.
