With an espresso latte machine in your kitchen at home, you can churn out your own latte’s to enjoy for yourself- and to amaze your dinner visitors! Some people look at the price of a home espresso latte machine and change their minds, but if reflect on what you usually pay when you pay money for a latte at your neighborhood coffee shop, whether it is a mom & pop shop or a chain (like Dunkin’ Donuts), you’re spending somewhere from $2 to $4 for a latte! Your espresso latte machine will more than pay for itself in a short time of making your lattes from home. Having your own espresso latte machine means having the facility to turn out latte’s for a good deal less than you spend on them when you go out. Plus you can enjoy them anytime- not only when you’re on the road. Also, lattes are a great after dinner complement- especially when you have visitors over!

Making a latte is all a part of the joy of having an espresso latte machine. While some people like to drink espresso shots right out of the machine, most people would choose to create a latte or cappuccino to sit and enjoy with a good book, or good friends and conversation!

The espresso latte machine will grind your espresso beans fresh for every cup, giving you the fresh taste latte lovers have come to know as an integral part of the latte. Depending on your specific brand of espresso latte machine, you’ll probably allot about 7 grams of espresso into the handle. Once you’ve extracted the espresso shot into the provided espresso shot pot (mostly stainless steel, with a pouring spout), you can begin steaming your milk!

The basic recipe is 1 to 2 ounces of espresso to 8 fluid ounces of milk. Put your milk into the frothing jug, and slide the complete container over the steam arm nozzle. Make sure you keep the nozzle as close to the bottom of the container as possible to avoid making a lot of foam out of your milk. Use a thermometer so you know when the milk reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Now you are ready to pour your steamed milk into the serving cup. A glass latte cup will look the best, and thoroughly astound your friends! Pour the steamed milk into the glass, using a spoon to hold back the majority of the foam that forms on the top of the milk. Once you’ve filled your cup with the milk, allow some of the foam to lie on the top for a “professional coffee shop latte” look.

Your finishing step to preparing a latte at home is to take your espresso shot and pour it slowly down the interior of the latte serving glass. A quantity of of the espresso will combine with the milk at the bottom of the glass and some will layer itself in between the milk and foam. You’ll have murky areas and a number of different shades of “latte brown”, making for a wonderful appearance that rivals that of the best coffee house. Only you won’t be paying $4 a cup, and you can make it and sip it in your nightie if you want to!

If you really want to make the appearance impressive, place your visitors lattes on a sweet little serving tray, with a decorative plate of elegant cookies. Biscotti’s are normally served with lattes, but you can be resourceful and serve anything you like. Perhaps you could make some tiramisu using your espresso to make it from scratch for dessert, and enjoy slices of tiramisu with your homemade lattes! Your company will want to come for dinner all the time after they experience your after dinner lattes. Once you take into account all the benefits of owning your own espresso latte machine the purchase value will look small.
