Spanish Latte
A perfect Spanish Latte isn’t just about mixing coffee and milk—it’s about balance, texture, and precision. Here’s what really makes it stand out:
1. Strong, Smooth Espresso Base
The foundation is a well-pulled shot of espresso—rich, slightly bold, but not bitter. Good beans and correct extraction (not too sour, not burnt) are key.
2. The Right Sweetness
What defines a Spanish latte is the use of condensed milk. The trick?
Not too much. It should add a creamy sweetness without overpowering the coffee.
3. Perfect Milk Texture
Steamed milk should be:
- Smooth and velvety (microfoam)
- Not too frothy or airy
This creates that luxurious, silky mouthfeel.
