the best machine for your at home latte

This is your best investment for your at home coffee. The Nespresso machine truly changed the game for us at home.

The quality of brewing is unmatched. We have not had a bad coffee brew or pod taste bitter in the time we have had our machine.

Before the Nespresso, we used the Keurig and it does a good job as well. There are espresso pods for keurig that make great espresso.

4. Add milk. Latte’s are typically very creamy and milky. You want to add 1/2-3/4 cup of milk to the latte glass.
   • By adding the syrup, milk, and ice first, you are creating a cold base for the hot espresso. You don’t want all the ice to melt when the espresso is added to the cup or it has a watered down taste.
5. Add brewed espresso to the latte glass.
6. Add your favorite straw and give it a nice mix. Ensure to mix the bottom of the glass to ensure the syrup is mixed into the milk and espresso.
