How to Make Latte Using French Press?

Step 1

First, you need to start by heating your water in an electric kettle or on the stove. Aim for a temperature just below boiling - around 200 °C - for optimal results.

Step 2

Add 4 tablespoons of coffee grounds to the French Press. Add 1 cup (250 ml) of boiled water to wet the coffee grounds and let it steep for 4 minutes.

Step 3

While your coffee is brewing, heat your milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. You can also heat it in the microwave for 1-1.5 minutes if you don't want to heat it on the stovetop.

Step 4

Once the milk is warm, use your milk frother or handheld milk frothing wand to froth the milk until it becomes thick and creamy. Once done, set the frothed milk aside.

Step 5

Now carefully press down the French Press plunger and pour your freshly brewed coffee into a coffee mug.

Step 6

Add the frothed milk on top. Use a spoon to scoop out any remaining froth in the saucepan, and add it to the top of your latte.

Step 7

If you like your latte sweet and flavored, it is time to add some sweetness to it. Simply mix in 1 tablespoon of sugar or maple syrup to your freshly brewed coffee. It is completely optional and totally depends on your preferences.

Step 8

Give it a quick stir to combine all the flavors, and your French press latte is ready to enjoy!

Conclusion

Who needs a fancy espresso machine when you can make a delicious latte with just a simple French Press?

This recipe is proof that you don't need expensive equipment or have to be a barista to create cafe-like coffee at home. So go ahead, follow these simple steps, and treat yourself to a little luxury.

That's all for this recipe round. I hope now you can save a lot on your caffeine cravings.

So go ahead, follow these simple steps, and treat yourself to a little indulgence.
