Steps
So now, we're going to talk about how to make a latte. We're going to extract
the coffee and steam the milk almost at the same time so that they're both
ready at the end. We lock the portafilter into the group head at the top,
we take our cup and straight away, without even any time, we press the
extraction button.
For me, it's the one with the two coffee cups symbol that indicates we're
extracting a double espresso and we can leave that to extract. Then, we're
going to steam our milk and for that, we need to steam one and our jug of
fresh cold milk. We're going to purge the steam wand by opening it up and
letting the water that's in the inside to come out.
That makes sure that that water isn't going into our milk and we've got a nice
fresh milk. We take the steam wand now down to the side and we put it to
the tip. It's just underneath the surface, about a centimetre or so, and
then we're going to open up our steam wand fully.
And with this, the key is to always ensure that your steam wand tip remains
under the surface. You don't want to be blasting too much air in for a
latte; you don't want to be perfusing too much foam on the top. We then
take our espresso that we've poured out into the mug and we're just going
to polish our milk and by that, it means giving it just a couple of taps
which gets rid of any large bubbles that are in there and then giving it a
little spin, and we're going to take it all the way to the top.
