Perfect for Beginners! Easy Homemade Vanilla Latte Recipe with a Breville Coffee Machine
Today, I’ll introduce a vanilla latte recipe made with a Breville coffee machine! Enjoy a moment of bliss with this comforting, homemade vanilla latte that combines aromatic vanilla with rich espresso. It’s perfect for a special treat or just to brighten your day.
Ingredients- Generous amount of fresh ice (prepare plenty!)
- 130ml cold milk (adjust quantity to your preference)
- 18g vanilla syrup (approx. 1.5 tablespoons)
- 2 shots of espresso (approx. 60ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, to get your Breville coffee machine ready, fill the water tank with fresh water. Ample water is crucial for proper coffee extraction, so don’t forget this step!
Step 2
Open the coffee machine’s lid and add your desired amount of fresh coffee beans. The freshness of the beans significantly impacts the latte’s flavor, so using high-quality beans is highly recommended. Close the lid again.
Step 3
When filling the basket with coffee grounds, it’s important to use an appropriate amount – not too much and not too little. This directly influences the strength and taste of your espresso.
Step 4
Using a tamper, press down the coffee grounds evenly inside the portafilter. Tamping too hard or too lightly can affect the espresso extraction, so aim for a consistent, level surface.
Step 5
Securely lock the prepared portafilter into the coffee machine. Ensure it clicks into place properly.
Step 6
Now, prepare a nice cup for your drink. Fill the cup generously with cold ice. Plenty of ice will keep your drink extra refreshing and help the coffee and milk blend smoothly.
Step 7
Carefully pour 130ml of cold milk over the ice in the cup. Fresh, cold milk contributes to the latte’s wonderfully smooth texture.
Step 8
Add 18g of sweet vanilla syrup over the milk. Feel free to adjust the amount of syrup to suit your taste. You can gently swirl the cup to help the syrup mix with the milk.
Step 9
Place the prepared cup under the coffee machine and extract 2 shots of espresso. Let the freshly brewed hot espresso gently cascade over the milk and syrup.
Step 10
Finally, place the finished vanilla latte on a saucer beside the machine for a moment. Allow the coffee’s aroma to further develop and fill the air.
Step 11
Lastly, use a teaspoon to slowly stir your latte. Stir thoroughly until the espresso, milk, and vanilla syrup are completely combined for an even smoother and more delicious vanilla latte. Enjoy your drink!
