Instructions
  1. Grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency.
  2. Tamp the grounds into your espresso machine portafilter and pull a double shot (about 2 ounces) into a large mug.
  3. While the espresso is brewing, steam 6 ounces of milk until it reaches 150°F and forms a velvety microfoam.
  4. Pour the steamed milk into the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon, then spoon the remaining foam on top to form a classic cappuccino layer.
  5. Serve in a handmade ceramic mug for maximum California vibes. Enjoy immediately.
