The AeroPress makes concentrated coffee, not espresso, so your latte won’t be exactly like your favorite barista makes it. But it will still be rich and creamy with plenty of coffee flavor. We think you’ll be impressed with your creation!
Boil about 7 ounces of water in a kettle. Pour coffee beans into a burr grinder and grind to a medium-fine level.
Set up your AeroPress as usual, filling the cap with a paper filter and coffee grounds. Place the AeroPress on a large coffee cup or mug.
Pour a small amount of hot water onto the grounds. Wait 30 seconds and then pour the rest of the water in, making sure to wet the grounds evenly. Let the coffee steep for one to three minutes, depending on how strong you like it. For a full-flavored latte, we recommend letting your coffee steep longer. Then attach the plunger and push it down, sending all of your coffee into the cup.
Heat and froth your milk. If you have a milk steamer, steam and froth your milk as usual. If not, you can heat your milk in a microwave or stovetop pan, being careful not to let it burn or boil over. Once it’s hot, pour it into a jar and shake vigorously. You can also use a whisk to froth your milk.
Pour the hot, frothy milk into your coffee cup, letting it mix with the strong AeroPress coffee. You can add syrup or sugar at this point. And why not practice your latte art on your tasty homemade latte?
