Latte Macchiato: A Layered Masterpiece
The Latte Macchiato, with its striking layers of milk, espresso, and foam, is more than just a coffee drink; it's a visual and flavorful work of art. This beloved beverage, known for its distinct layers, offers a perfect balance of rich espresso and creamy milk. And by using the Nespresso machine along with the eco-friendly PodMkr, we add a sustainable edge to this classic. Let's dive into how you can craft this café-style masterpiece right in your kitchen.
Equipment
- Keurig
- PodMkr
- Milk Frother
Ingredients
- Freshly Ground Coffee Beans
- Milk
- Sugar or sweetener optional
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sweetening (Optional): If you prefer your coffee sweetened, you can stir in sugar or a sweetener of your choice.
