Today I am going to shop you how to make cappuccino
and latte art at home without one of these
bad boys.
Hey my name is Mike - I'm a Barista and previous
owner of an award winning specialty coffee
shop in Europe.
In the past I have trained dozens of Baristas
and also showed people how to make good espresso
cappuccino and coffee in general at home.
This video is part of the coffee hacks series.
Besides these how to videos, I make travel
and lifestyle vlogs sharing the experience
of us expanding our business from Austria
to the United States here in Miami Beach.
Every year we travel to over 12 countries
and we share our best of videos from those
locations so be sure to subscribe right now

So lets get right into this video.
Today I am going to show you my awesome trick
on how I make espresso and cappuccino and
latte art without an expensive espresso machine.
So what you are going to need to make the
espresso is either a mocca can or a french
press.
Both of these things cost around 20 bucks
for the more expensive french press - you
can get a cheap one for 10 $ at Ikea and the
Bialetti also costs around 20 bucks.
Super compact easy to store and they'll make
sufficient espresso for your cappuccino needs.
I don't want to make this video too long and
I know you guys are here for the latte art
so I am going to give a detailed description
on how to use the Bialetti and the french
press in a separate video coming very soon.
Always start out with fresh coffee beans and
grind them at home if you can.
Prepare your french press as you usually would
just adding a little bit more coffee.
You can also make a Bialetti Mocca Pot.
When you are done brewing your coffee, warm
up your milk in the microwave and pour it
into the french press.
Carefully pump the milk to incorporate oxygen
and make it nice and foamy.
Just be careful not to pump too often because
it will become too thick.
Transfer your foamed milk into a milk can
and swirl it around whilst knocking out small
bubbles from the can until you get a nice
silky texture.
Start pouring your milk into your coffee until
your cup or glass is around 2/3 full.
Then stop and slowly layer your latte art
onto the crema.
This part takes a lot of practice but after
a few times you'll get the hang of it.
