Method
Preparing the Espresso
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency.
Brew the Espresso
Fill the espresso machine’s portafilter with the ground coffee, tamp it down firmly, and lock it in place. Brew with 60 ml of water to extract your espresso shot.
Preparing the Milk Foam
Heat the Milk
Pour 30 ml of whole milk into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling.
Assembling the Espresso Macchiato
Combine the Espresso and Milk Foam
Pour the brewed espresso into a small cup. Spoon a dollop of the frothed milk on top of the espresso to create a 'stain' or 'mark' on the coffee.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your homemade espresso macchiato!
