Start your morning off right with this traditional Spanish-style espresso drink.
Ingredients
- 2 espresso capsules
- ¹⁄³ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional or to taste)
Preparation
- Put 1 espresso capsule into the unit. Place a small mug underneath the brew head. Reserve.
- 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.
- 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.
- Slowly pour the steamed milk, holding back the foam, into the mug with the espresso. Sweeten to taste.
- Serve immediately.
