The Key Element : Milk Foam

Next, you will need to froth the milk. If you are using a Nespresso machine with an integrated milk frother, this step becomes a breeze. Simply pour whole or skim milk into the frother, heat it, and froth it until you achieve a creamy and dense foam. The key to a successful cappuccino lies in the creaminess of the foam, which must be perfectly balanced with the espresso.

Flat White

It is prepared with an espresso and milk heated to a precise temperature, with a finer and velvety foam. The drink has a smoother and creamier texture than a latte, while being more intense in coffee, making it richer than a latte but less airy than a cappuccino.

Latte Machiatto

The macchiato is a simpler and stronger version, mainly composed of an espresso "stained" with a small amount of hot milk or foam. This coffee highlights the pure and intense flavor of the espresso, with a light touch of milk, offering a bolder and less creamy taste.

Latte art is one of the most appreciated features among coffee enthusiasts. To create perfect latte art, one must first master the technique of preparing the milk foam. Quality foam is essential for drawing elegant patterns like hearts or leaves on the surface of your cappuccino.

The art of creating latte art begins by pouring the hot, frothy milk over the espresso in a precise manner, playing with the angle and flow. The technique requires practice, but once you master the basics, you will be able to impress your friends with visually stunning creations.
