Hi there, Im new here, I just found this site while googling for coffee making instructions. I have a cafe in a fun centre/indoor playground. I was trained to make coffees a long time ago, like 12 years, but am totally out of practise!
So a staff member and I are having a debate about the proper way to make a latte. Should it be layered, i.e. froth spooned into cup, then add milk, then slowly pour coffee down the side of the cup so that it sits in between the milk and foam making a 3 layer effect. I do remember being taught this, it was me who told her about pouring the coffee slowly down the side, but in all my life of visiting posh cafes I have never been served a latte that looked like this.
It seems to me the most common way of serving a latte is to free pour the steamed milk in and then let it settle into foam at the top (I think about 1 cm of foam?). I cant do a rosetta yet but am practising!
Any thoughts? What is the proper way to make a latte? Do customers expect/like it to be layered?
Thanks in advance for any help with this one!!!
