Make Latte with an AeroPress ☕️
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 гру 2022
- Recently we have been toying with idea on how to make a latte or a close to a latte with an AeroPress. In this video I am going to show you the exact recipe I used and all my tips & tricks to achieve this 🫶
Ingredients:
14g of Coffee Beans
50g of Water at 98ºc
1x AeroPress paper filter
1x Milk pitcher
200-300ml of milk of choice
1x Subminimal Nano Foamer
Recipe:
1} First grind your coffee very fine, I used 6 Clicks on the Comandante
2} Add 50g of water at 98ºc and stir for about 30 seconds
3} Screw on the cap and plunge as hard as you can, pour this into your latte glass
4} Heat your milk of choice to the desired temperature and pour into a milk pitcher
5} Texture your milk using the Nano Foamer and pour your latte art

finally a recipe with reasonable amounts of beans, not 30g of beans for one single cup
Hahaha RIGHT!
Glad you enjoyed and I hope you can replicate this recipe for some tasty coffees :)

I personally use a similar technique with the aeropress but for frothing I use a small french press that I have. I've found that it works incredibly well
Oh awesome! Rly happy to hear this 🙌
What AeroPress recipe do u use?
@@TheBasicBarista I don't have an espresso capable grinder so I grind somewhat fine, 1:4 coffee to water ratio, I let it steep for about 2:30 and then press as hard as possible
im gonna try this that looked so good
Easy to do & indistinguishable to cafe made coffee
Dude your videos are epic.
Thanks so much man :) I am so glad that you are enjoying them!

Hey man, whenever I try to froth the milk using the frother, the froth forms just on top. How can i get a good consistent frothy milk?
Great question!
3 things I can think of why this is happening for you;
1- You haven't created a vortex, try tilting your pitcher to the side and pointing your nano foamer directly down the centre. When you get good and start to feel it spinning correctly you can adjust the height to create more or less froth.
2- You haven't charged your Nano Foamer, try charging so that the battery is full and this will help give it the energy to push through and spin faster. I have found that when my unit is on a low battery the spinning is much sower, however even when it is spinning on a slower speed I am still able to get good quality milk by adjusting the positioning of the nano foamer.
3- This point probably isn't the issue but may be worth mentioning for you, if you have a large jug or container that you are using or you're texturing large batches of milk then this could contribute to not spinning the milk correctly and resulting in the foam staying at the top.
Other things I recommend you to trying is to tap the jug after texturing to remove any air bubbles, pour straight away after you texture your milk. (don't leave your milk sitting for ages or all of the bubble with rise to the surface of your milk.)
Hope this helps!
Happy Brewing :)
What is the spray you put on the coffee beans? IDT?
This is called RDT (aka: Ross Droplet Technique)
We've got some more information on this here:

What's the best roast for milk coffee? Thanks.
Medium is probably the safest answer, but whatever you like really!
Some people prefer dark roasts, some might do light roasts but they're generally more fruity and interesting which gets lost in milk sometimes, or they just don't work well with milk, but I've had some light roasts that worked nicely with milk, one Ethiopian that tasted like Strawberries ended up tasting like a strawberry shake, so I'd say it worked nicely with milk!
I think what he meant to say here is if you want a milk drink use a espresso roast coffee, which are a little darker or more developed roasts generally. BUT even for making REAL espresso which this isn't, you can use whatever coffee type you like, I do coffee that says it's roasted for Filter coffee as espresso and I recently did a Espresso roast as a pour over coffee and it turned out better that way than as an espresso :D
There isn't really a 'best' roast, it just depends on what you prefer. Most bags of coffee will have Filter or Espresso roast labelled while some also say best with milk.
Best to use espresso roasted coffee that is recommended with milk, you can also try using any other coffee and taste the results :) You might prefer it.

Cheers for this!!!
Very helpful explanation 🤟☕️

Can i use medium grade coffe bean to make latte with aeroprees?
Hey Tegar,
I am not sure what you mean by medium grade, are you referring to roast or grade as in size?
Cheers
@@TheBasicBarista i am sorry, i mean grade in a size hehe
2:50 According to Adler, the inventor of the AeroPress, you're supposed to let the weight of your arms push downwards making no additional effort. If you press as you did, you add more bitterness to the brew.
Yeah for sure, I feel that this is more true for making a 1:15 filter recipe. and actually when I make filter coffee with the AeroPress I usually press for about 30-45 seconds.
However for this espresso style coffee I had best results pushing hard, this creates a higher pressure and helps to even get some crema-like consistency on top.
I feel that because this isn't technically 'espresso' that we are making in the video, having some added bitterness / bite to the coffee does help. but this really has to do with your preferences.
Thanks for your comment and for watching my video!
i wonder how you got to "150-200$" when your grinder alone costs over 200$ ?
This is definitely a good point!
but the reason why I used the Comandante to grind the coffee was because that was just what I had, I am sure you can still replicate this with other coffee grinders or if you absolutely had to stay in budget you could use pre-ground coffee.
(best not to use pre ground coffee)
@@TheBasicBarista fair enough, but it's not just the expensive grinder - i assume you're using a branded temperature controlled kettle and a prevision scale, while the whole idea behind the Aeropress (i think?) is making a great cup of coffee with a cheap brewer . btw, you can get a great grinder for 50$ (Chestnut C3) that can grind fine enough for espresso
@@anonylesss bro what’s your point?
I’m well aware about the C3 … we sell this grinder and have made videos about this.
I think you might be looking into it a lil too deep.
Cheapest set of scales we sell is the basal at $14 atm so incl this would still be well within in budget.
@@anonylesss I think you miss the point. The scales plus a grinder can cost you under or around $50, and for the water any kettle (or even a pot) will work fine, just bring it to full boil then let it cool for like a minute or two and you'll be within reasonable range.
Just because he used expensive tools doesn't mean you have to, point to where in the video he recommended people pick up the exact equipment he's using. He stated that for $150-200 you can do this, and you can for that budget, just not with the exact kettle, scales or grinder he's using.
@@DreadKyller i was missing the point when i first replied - but only because at that time i was watching quite a lot of "make great coffee at a reasonable price" videos and..after getting 45$ proper grinder (C3) and an Aeropress , I realized my kitchen scales were annoying and not so accurate and of course missing a timer. so i got a new proper scale (Timemore black mirror) for another 50$ . then realized all the good Aeropress recipes require specific water temperature. so I got that nice kettle for a reasonable price of 69USD (more or less, bought it locally) . and "all of sudden" i have a new hobby... so stopped pretending and got a Flair Signature...
It's not really 'espresso' or a latte, which is typically made with espresso in it :D Sorry. But it IS a viable AeroPress recipe, AeroPress is very versatile. It looks like it did take some effort pressing down with the grind size that fine! I've done something like this myself before as well.
Broooo thx for watching but like how would you go about this? Seriously, you have an AeroPress and you have a nano foamer, what recipe would you use? Because as far as I can tell I used a fine grind, pressure and a short ratio.
Literally being able to produce a coffee that tasted this good and as close to a latte with these tools is fantastic and I really hope helps a lot of people.
I am so mad seeing these comments pop up about not technically being an 'espresso'. You are right, this was a 1:2.5 ratio ... doesn't change a whole lot and still tastes delicious with the coffee I used.
@@TheBasicBarista It's just a matter of semantics, espresso is supposed to be brewed at about 9 bars of pressure the aeropress doesn't generate anywhere near that amount of pressure, even with a fellows Prismo attachment I believe.
I'd probably do it the same way or something similar. I've done 18g or 20g coffee and 120-160ml water to make a strong aeropress and diluted with milk with nice results. I don't think I've tried it quite as concentrated as you have with a light roast I'd think it might turn out under extracted but the finer grind size might prevent that.
@@TheBasicBarista i've seen some people call it "Aeropresso", so i guess we can go that route lol.
@@turnipbeybladespinner7836 I think this is a great idea 💡 😌🙏
@@TheBasicBarista There's no way to achieve 9 bars of pressure on an Aeropress, even with attachments, and even if you could it'd rip the filter as even more premium filters will rip at well below that. At those very high pressures you're actually able to dissolve the CO2 from the coffee into the water, which it what results in the crema of espresso. You can't really get true crema with the Aeropress, the foamy stuff some people call crema on high pressure plunges with the Aeropress is just aerated coffee.
This is a similarly strong coffee, with a fairly similar flavor, so it works in effectively the same way, but due to the unique way espresso is brewed it just has some properties that aren't achievable with an Aeropress, the dissolved CO2 resulting in the crema, which the CO2 slightly changes the flavor of the coffee as well (it's literally a form of carbonation that doesn't stay in solution long), and espresso tends to be a bit thicker, almost more syrupy.
From a practical perspective when you dilute it with lots of milk or otherwise the distinction matters little, either way it's just a very strong coffee mixed with milk so it's just a matter of semantics as Bens said. I love the name Aeropresso.
