  • My name is Mike Jones, and I'm a barista at Third Rail Coffee right by Washington Square

  • Park in New York City. I'm going to teach you some basic coffee-making skills.

  • I'm going to show you how to make a Cafe Latte. Now at its most basic interpretation, a latte

  • is just espresso with milk. Traditionally it will be 8 ounces to 12 ounces, some shops

  • will go bigger than that, usually not too much smaller than 8 ounces though. You started

  • off with around 2 ounces of espresso and the rest is milk that is steamed with just a tiny

  • bit of air put into it. You don't want it to be too foamy and also not too thin. So

  • I'm going to go ahead, pull the shot, steam the milk and then pour. Alright, so we have

  • our shot and the milk. You can see on the milk it, it has that nice sheen, good micro

  • foam, and then when you swirl it you can see it sticks to the side a little bit, but not

  • too much. A cappuccino would be frothier. Alright, and that is a Cafe Latte.
