After pouring the espresso into the mug or cup, stir once more. Add one or two spoonfuls of froth (or top with whipped cream instead). Enjoy a homemade latte at home [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
Just before pulling the shots of espresso, pour the steamed milk into the desired mug or cup, using a spoon to hold back the froth, saving about two inches of space for the shots and froth. If a flavor was added, be sure to stir well.
Nothing is like going to a favorite coffeehouse and ordering a latte made freshly before your eyes, but just what goes into a latte, anyway?
Immediately after pulling satisfactory shot(s), pour two into the cup filled with steamed milk to save them. For less coffee taste, use only one shot, and if an extra shot is desired, use three. The espresso has a 10 second window before it begins losing flavor and increasing in bitterness.
Remember that pulling shots of espresso can be difficult, especially when under pressure to do so quickly. Be sure to pull test shots before beginning any drink to know the tamping level that should be used.
Standard lattes at most coffeehouses use 2% milk, but any kind of milk will work for a latte. The use of skim milk makes a skinny latte, and the use of half-and-half makes a breve latte.

Finishing Touches and Tips
Pulling the Shots of Espresso
Steaming the Milk
Pour about 10 ounces of milk into a stainless steel steaming pitcher with a food thermometer, and place the steaming wand tip at the surface of the milk. Turn the dial counterclockwise to begin heating the milk. Raise the steaming wand tip just above the surface of the milk to create froth. A light hissing sound is the key to making the perfect froth, which should have the consistency of shaving cream.
Be sure not to burn the milk; milk burns at 180 degrees, so milk should not be steamed past 170 degrees because the temperature rises a few degrees after steaming. Also be careful not to burn yourself while steaming the milk or pulling the espresso shots.
For a latte, only a small amount of foam is necessary, just a spoonful or two, so after a few seconds of frothing the latte creator can insert the wand further into the milk to finish heating it. Turn the steamer off once the milk has reached 150-160 degrees. This will allow the milk some room to rise to 170 degrees or drop to 140 degrees, both acceptable temperatures for a latte. Be sure to wipe the steaming wand with a clean, damp cloth immediately after steaming milk.
Adding Desired Flavors
Here are the steps to making a 12 ounce latte.
Grind the espresso beans just before pulling the shots for the best flavor. Load the fresh grinds into the portafilter handle, and tamp level before inserting into the espresso machine. Be sure to pull shots between 16-26, preferably between 18-23.
A latte is a combination of espresso, steamed milk, and froth. Flavor(s), sweeteners, and/or whipped cream may be added to sweeten the drink.
If any sugar, sweetener, or flavors are desired for the latte, add them to the mug or cup. About one to two ounces of syrup or sauce should be added for a 12 ounce drink. Popular flavors include vanilla [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], caramel [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], irish cream, and hazelnut. Many coffeehouses use Torani brand flavors, and these are available at most specialty food stores in a smaller size.
