What makes a great Nespresso latte?
There are two things that make a great latte. First of all is a great shot or two of espresso, which can be different based on each and everyone's personal tastes. That's why we've found a coffee pod for everyone, no matter where you are on the intensity scale.
Next of course is steamed milk. The great part about a latte is that it comes out well no matter what types of milk you are using, even if it is non-dairy milk.
Wether you use an Aeroccino milk frother or a different device, it's the other critical component to a latte.
Let's take a look at how to find your nespresso capsule the perfect latte.
