Description
A simple and cozy way to make a cafe-style latte at home using a stovetop Moka pot.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Moka pot (3 cup size)
- Fresh coffee (medium or medium dark roast, ground medium fine)
- Filtered water
- 6 to 8 ounces of milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Optional: pinch of sugar, cinnamon, or vanilla
Instructions
- Fill the bottom chamber of the Moka pot with hot water up to the fill line.
- Fill the filter basket with medium fine coffee grounds without packing them down.
- Screw on the top chamber snugly and place the pot on the stove over medium low heat.
- When the coffee starts to flow, lower the heat if needed. Remove from heat as soon as you hear a soft gurgle.
- Warm the milk and froth it until small, tight bubbles form.
- Pour the Moka coffee into a mug about one third to halfway full, add optional sugar or vanilla, top with hot milk, and spoon foam on top. Dust with cinnamon if desired.
Notes
For a flavored twist, add cocoa for a mocha. You can prep by grinding coffee the night before.
