Ingredients

• 1/2–3/4oz (16–20g) fine ground coffee
• about 4–5fl oz (130–150ml) milk chocolate or cinnamon powder, optional



Method

1. Warm your cups on top of your machine or by heating them with hot water, brew one shot/ 1fl oz (25ml) of espresso into each cup.
2. Steam the milk to about 140–150°F (60–65°C). Avoid scalding it. When the bottom of the pitcher is just too hot to touch, the milk is at a comfortable drinking temperature
3. Pour the milk over each espresso, maintaining an area of crema around the rim of the cup so that the first sip will have a strong coffee flavor. Aim for a 1/2in (1cm) layer of foam.
4. Using a shaker or a mini sieve, sprinkle over some chocolate or cinnamon powder, if desired.



Tip

1. This recipe shows you how to make two cups, but it is easy enough to make one—you can use a single basket and/or single spout portafilter. If all else fails, you could always treat a friend to the spare espresso!
