Barista Tips
- To make a stronger infusion of cinnamon flavor, try mixing the milk and cinnamon dolce before adding them to the coffee.
- Remember always to choose ‘barista-quality’ non-dairy milk because its enriched composition makes it easier to froth.
- When brewing coffee, always use filtered water. Filtered water does not calcify the coffee equipment, which makes for a better taste.
- Never drink too hot coffee; always give it a moment to chill out. This is important to save yourself from painful burns and to bring out the best flavor. Believe it or not, the flavor of coffee is better after cooling a bit because your tongue is not overwhelmed by heat.
- Great coffee starts with great equipment. That does not mean you need expensive things to make good coffee, but with proper maintenance, everyone’s homebrew can taste barista-made.
Variation
This hot latte is already low in fat. It doesn’t even use whipped cream! Yet, if you’re craving something even lighter, trade the whole milk for skim or low-fat plant-based milk.
Products

- Milk Frother: A handheld milk frother is a great tool for home baristas to have on hand. Another great option for home coffee enthusiasts is to use a French press. The plunger can be used like a milk frother to whip some air into your warm milk.
