At Echelon Brew, we are dedicated to sourcing the finest single-origin coffee beans from renowned regions, each offering a distinct flavor profile. For a latte, you’ll want beans that provide a rich, smooth base—something like our mellow, cocoa-infused Yellow Bourbon Brazilian Coffee Beans or the vibrant and sweet Honey Processed Costa Rican beans. These beans are perfectly suited for espresso, ensuring that your latte has a deep, robust flavor complemented by the creamy milk.
To make the best latte, you’ll want to start with freshly ground coffee. Using a burr grinder, grind your Echelon Brew beans to a fine consistency, perfect for espresso. The fresher the grind, the more flavorful and aromatic your espresso will be.
For an ideal latte, a shot of espresso is typically made from 18-20 grams of coffee grounds. Measure your beans accordingly to get the perfect shot.
Brew a double shot of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. The rich flavors of single-origin coffee beans shine through in espresso, so take a moment to enjoy the aroma as it brews. Whether you’re working with the cocoa tones of Brazilian beans or the sweet, fruity notes of Costa Rican beans, you’ll notice the difference in flavor with each sip.
Now, it’s time to froth the milk! For a traditional latte, whole milk works best, as it creates the creamiest texture. However, if you prefer non-dairy alternatives like oat or almond milk, they work well too.
If your espresso machine has a steam wand, use it to froth your milk until it becomes velvety smooth with microfoam. No steam wand? No problem! You can use a milk frother or even heat the milk on the stove and whisk it vigorously to create foam.
Now for the fun part—combining your espresso and frothed milk to create that perfect latte. Pour your freshly brewed espresso into your favorite mug. Next, gently pour your frothed milk over the espresso, starting from a little height and gradually getting closer to the surface. This will allow the milk to mix smoothly with the espresso, giving your latte its signature creamy texture.
If you’re feeling fancy, try your hand at latte art by creating a heart or rosette with the foam. It might take some practice, but that first pour of your homemade latte will always be satisfying!
And there you have it—your very own café-style latte, made from premium Echelon Brew coffee beans. Take a moment to enjoy the rich, complex flavors, the velvety milk, and the satisfaction of knowing you’ve mastered the art of making a perfect latte at home.
Not only does making a latte at home allow you to control every aspect of the drink—from the coffee beans to the milk—you also save time and money.
