How to make a latte?

Latte is an espresso-based drink. If you don’t have a coffee machine to prepare espresso, you can also use a stovetop espresso pot or a coffee press to prepare your latte.

An average of 8 g of coffee is ideal for each latte. If you want a stronger coffee taste, you can use two cups of coffee. The most suitable coffees for espresso are coffees with intense aroma and roasted coffee beans.
