To make a cafe latte, you'll need a few key tools: an espresso machine, a milk frother, and a good quality coffee grinder. Start by brewing a strong shot of espresso using freshly ground coffee beans. While the espresso is brewing, steam your milk using a frother until it reaches a creamy, velvety texture. Once your espresso is ready, pour it into a large cup and then slowly add the steamed milk, allowing it to blend with the espresso. Top it off with a dollop of froth for that signature cafe latte finish. With a little practice, you'll be able to enjoy the perfect cafe latte whenever the craving strikes.
