Start your morning off right with this traditional Spanish-style espresso drink.
Ingredients
- 2espresso capsules
- ¹⁄³ cup whole milk
- 1teaspoon granulated sugar
- (optional or to taste)
Preparation
- 1. Put 1 espresso capsule into the unit.
- Place a small mug underneath the brew
- head. Reserve.
- 2. Put the milk into a separate heatproof
- mug. Hold the mug in one hand and
- place under the steam wand so the
- bottom of the wand is just below the
- surface of the milk at an angle. Select
- the Steam function and press the
- START/STOP knob to start steaming.
- While holding the mug at an angle,
- allow the steam to move the milk
- around. Once the milk begins to
- increase in volume, lift the mug up
- higher so the steam wand immerses
- deeper into the milk (this will prevent
- large bubbles from forming and
- will make a nice fine milk foam). When
- the foam has almost reached the top
- of the mug and you can feel that the
- milk in the mug is quite hot, press the
- START/STOP knob to stop steaming.
- Tap the mug a few times to remove any
- larger bubbles.
- 3. Select Single Espresso and brew into
- the small mug. When brewing process
- is complete, discard used capsule and
- place a new capsule into the unit.
- Select Single Espresso and brew.
- 4. Slowly pour the steamed milk, holding
- back the foam, into the mug with the
- espresso. Sweeten to taste.
- 5. Serve immediately.
