Bara AlMakadma’s streps to making a home latte. Using Breville infuser, a coffee scale and the Sette 30 Grinder (but you can use your own equipment):
Step 1:
Make sure all your ingredients are within hand-reach.
Your wipes/cloths for cleaning.
Start with a clean counter and finish with a clean counter.
Step 2:
Set your desired dose and add 0.1mg
dose: 18 mg
Therefore: measure: 18.1 mg
Place beans in the hopper
Step 3:
Rinse (to both heat and to clean the porta-filter)
Wipe the porta filter and the showerhead
Step 4:
Make sure your tamper is also clean from previous tamped coffee residues
Step 5:
Grind. Equal distribution. Correct size.
and make sure your beans are not contaminated with other beans ;)
Step 6:
Distribute the heap of coffee evenly - the end goal is to prevent channeling and to have an equally pressurized puck!
Step 7:
Tamp!
Step 8: lock in the porta-filter to the showerhead.
Just securely lock it. do not tighten it too much
Step 9:
place your scale, and pre-heated cup on the scale.
Do not forget to tare your scale and have your timer ready.
Step 10:
Start your shot, at the same time start your timer
watch the pressure go up a little for pre-infusion, and well into espresso range for the rest of the shot.
for 35 mL +/- 1 mL
for 28 seconds +/- 3 sec
Step 11: turn on the steaming wand.
This is a single boiler machine. and you need to wait for the temperature to go up to steaming temperature.
When the steaming light is steady: quickly turn of; place pitcher and turn back on while wand is in the milk pitcher
Step 12:
place the want at an angle off center and directed to the pitcher wall, about a cm deep in the cold milk. raise it out of the milk slowly until you hear a hissing sound. Keep there until room temperature. Then keep it under the surface with milk swirling to desired temperature
Step 13:
Make sure you shut off the wand for a couple of seconds before pulling your milk pitcher away. To prevent splashes ;)
IMMEDIATELY: clean with a wet towel
Step 14:
Swirl, and give a gentle tap to make sure the milk looks like wet white paint with no bubbles. just SILKY smooth!
Step 15:
Now pour your milk onto your shot! Compose your latte!
Step 16:
Always empty your drip tray - to keep your machine clean and always smelling, looking, and feeling fresh. Stale water is not a good idea
Step 17:
Knock out your puck BEFORE leaving your station. and rinse and clean your porta-filter and wipe your showerhead.
that way: every shot will taste great.
Finally enjoy your coffee with your loved ones!
