CAFFE LATTE

Un bel caffe latte -- that's how I begin each morning. I use the classic Moka to brew the coffee, which is typically Lavazza Qualità Oro, and I heat up milk (use organic whole milk for best results), and combine the two to create a very pleasing hot beverage that jumpstarts the day.

Step 1: La Moka



Step 2: Load ground Lavazza coffee into the filter



Step 3: Put the macchinetta on the stove along with pot of milk




Step 4: When all is ready, pour into a beloved mug (this one is perfectly-sized for caffe latte or cappuccino) and enjoy!




It won't give you the frothy milk you'll find in a caffe latte ordered at an Italian bar, but it's how the Italian families I lived with prepared their morning coffee. Godi!
