Free coffee & drinks tip: High to mix, close to finish (step 7 of 8 from "Café Latte at Home").
Tilt the cup. Pour from a few centimeters up so the milk dives under the crema and the drink becomes one color. When the cup is ~¾ full, drop the pitcher close to the surface and pour a little faster through the center — a white circle is enough for week one.
If all the foam dumps at the end, you poured too slow at the start or the milk was already split. Swirl harder next time before you pour.
You'll need
- Shot still hot
