"The best of La Jolla"
Steps
1-Step One
Make a 1 1/2 oz. espresso, leaving enough water in the espresso machine to steam some milk. (See "How to Make an Espresso" in the Related eHows section.)
2-Step Two
Put espresso in a 5-oz. or larger cup so that you have room for the milk.
3-Step Three
Set espresso machine to steam.
4-Step Four
Fill a stainless-steel carafe with 3 oz. cold milk and insert the steam nozzle.
5-Step Five
Place nozzle halfway down in milk and leave it in milk for 45 to 60 seconds, or until the milk is hot and there's enough foam for your preference.
6-Step Six
Add 1 1/2 oz. steamed milk to the cup of espresso.
7-Step Seven
Spoon some foamed milk onto the top.
8-Step Eight
If you like, sprinkle with ground chocolate, cinnamon or nutmeg.
Steps
Make a shot of espresso equaling between 1 and 1 1/2 oz. (See "How to Make an Espresso" in the Related eHows section.)
2-Step Two
Steam 10 oz. milk.
3-Step Three
Steam another 2 oz. milk in a separate glass to create foam. Continue to apply steam
until the milk completely foams.
4-Step Four
Pour hot milk in a 12-oz. glass until 3/4 full.
5-Step Five

Steps
Place chocolate syrup in bottom of a tall, thick glass or large mug.
2-Step Two
Prepare 1 shot (1 to 1 1/2 oz.) of espresso. (See "How to Make an Espresso" in the Related eHows section.
3-Step Three
Steam the milk.
4-Step Four
Add 3/4 of the milk to the glass or mug and stir gently.
5-Step Five
Add the espresso and stir again.
6-Step Six
Add the rest of the steamed milk.
7-Step Seven
Place a dollop of whipped cream on top of mocha and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cinnamon for decoration.
Steps
Pour cold, clear water into your machine's water chamber and make sure the boiler cap is secured. One shot of espresso is about 1 ounce. For a double shot, use two ounces. Some machines let you make as many as four shots at once.
2-Step Two
Place the coffee basket in the filter holder and lightly pack in the ground coffee. Your filter should have a measure for how much espresso you are making.
3-Step Three
Brush off any grounds on the sides and top of the filter and place the filter holder in
the machine.
4-Step Four
Place the provided glass carafe (if your machine comes with one) under the spout and turn on the machine. The machine will heat the water to the proper temperature and force the water through the coffee grounds. Use a cup if your machine doesn't come with a carafe
5-Step Five
When the coffee starts to flow into the cup, it should have brown foam, or "crema," on its top. When the foam becomes almost white in color, the good-tasting liquid is no longer flowing. Remove the cup immediately
To keep in mind
Have you ever wondered how to make café-style coffee at home? Firstly, you need to know that there are two basic styles of coffee: espresso and regular, or non-espresso. Espresso forms the basis of coffees served in cafés and restaurants, whilst regular coffee is usually reserved for the home.
Perhaps the most familiar at-home coffee, regular coffee is generally a 200ml serve of medium-strength brew, served in a mug or cup. The method of brewing regular coffee depends on the equipment at hand. Common equipment includes the French Press (also known as a press-pot or plunger), the Drip/Filter and the Percolator, amongst many other brewing devices.
No matter what equipment is used, regular coffee brewing always involves hot water coming into contact with preground beans for at least one minute. Compared to espresso, regular coffee is brewed at a lower temperature for a longer time, uses more water and requires beans to be more coarsely ground. The result is a satisfying, full-cup serve of coffee.
Espresso, on the other hand, is brewed by forcing a small amount of steaming hot water through tightly packed, finely ground coffee beans. Often called a "short black", the result of this high-pressure brew is a small shot of intensely flavoured, black liquid, topped with a light brown foam known as crèma.
Espresso can be brewed using an espresso machine, or a Stovetop espresso pot (Moka Pot). Unlike regular coffee, the espresso shot forms the basis of many coffee styles. Lattes, macchiatos, long blacks and affogatos are just a few of the espresso-based coffee styles appearing on today's café menus. By investing in a Stovetop Espresso Pot, or an espresso machine, you will have all the tools you need to make fantastic, cafe style coffee at home.
Although many coffee drinkers prefer one style of coffee over the other, neither is better or worse than the other. Both espresso and regular coffee have their place. By including both styles in your repertoire, you will add fun and variety to your coffee making experience.
