The latte, as we know it today, evolved from the European coffee and milk traditions. While coffee with milk has been consumed for centuries, the specific combination of espresso and steamed milk, with a thin layer of foam, gained popularity in coffee houses, particularly in Seattle, USA, during the 1980s.

The latte offers a balanced flavor profile, combining the robust bitterness of espresso with the creamy sweetness of milk.
The primary flavor comes from the espresso, which provides a rich, intense coffee taste with notes of chocolate, nuts, and potentially fruit depending on the bean origin and roast. The steamed milk dilutes the espresso's intensity, adding sweetness and a smooth, velvety texture. The milk also contributes subtle flavors of cream and warmth. The small layer of foam adds a textural contrast.

Espresso Extraction
Use high-quality, freshly ground coffee beans and a properly calibrated espresso machine to extract a rich and flavorful shot of espresso.
Milk Steaming
Steam the milk to a velvety texture with microfoam, avoiding large bubbles. The milk should be heated to around 140-160°F (60-70°C) for optimal sweetness and texture.
Pouring Technique
Pour the steamed milk slowly into the espresso, starting with the liquid portion to integrate the flavors, then gently add the foam on top.
Milk Alternatives
Experiment with different milk alternatives such as oat, almond, or soy milk to create a latte that suits your dietary needs and preferences. Note that each alternative will steam differently, impacting the foam and flavor.
