KitchenAid 88, Coffeemaker, 4KPES100 manual Preparing Café Latte

To prepare cappuccino, froth and steam the milk before brewing the espresso. This allows the froth to jell slightly and fully separate from the milk. Once the milk is prepared, brew a single shot

(1 oz [30 ml]) of espresso into a cappuccino cup, then pour the frothed and steamed milk into the cup with a gentle shaking motion. For a show-stopping flourish, top your cappuccino with nutmeg, cinnamon, chocolate powder, or chocolate shavings.

Preparing Café Latte

A basic Café Latte is a single shot (1 oz [30 ml]) of espresso topped with 8 to 10 oz (240 to 300 ml) of steamed milk and about 1⁄4-inch (6 mm) of foamed milk. Lattes are often flavoured with 1 to 2 oz (30 to 60 ml) of syrup, the most popular being almond and hazelnut. If you use chocolate syrup and garnish the drink with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, you’ll have that chocolate and coffee lover’s dream, the Café Mocha.

To prepare a Café Latte, you will need a pitcher larger than the one supplied with the espresso machine. A 16 oz (480 ml) capacity pitcher is perfect. Fill the pitcher 1⁄2 full with cold milk. The steaming technique for lattes is almost the same as cappuccino, except the goal is to impart a velvety texture to the milk while minimizing froth. Keep the frothing nozzle deeper in the milk so the milk volume expands more slowly. No large bubbles or froth should form.

Once the milk is prepared, brew the espresso into a latte mug, add the syrup if any, and gently fill with steamed milk.
