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.
