How about a gourmet breakfast? Here is the perfect recipe to start your day in the best possible way thanks to De’Longhi bean coffee machines and some tips and secrets!
For a 350ml/11.8oz glass of cocoa latte macchiato (sugar-free), you’ll need:
• 1 espresso *
• 1 tablespoon of bitter cocoa
• 30 cl/10ozof milk or plant based milk
FOCUS ON ESPRESSO *
For this recipe we suggest you use a washed coffee of the Arabica variety with an intense and balanced flavor, with hints of fruit and a pleasant acidic aftertaste to obtain a combination of flavors with bitter cocoa
Espresso * is made with a coffee machine in De’Longhi beans. Here are the settings we recommend:
• Grinding: 2.5
• Coffee volume: 50 ml
The milk foam is prepared with the Latte Crema system integrated into De’Longhi bean coffee machines. Here are the settings we recommend for a 350ml glass:
• Foam texture: setting 3
• Milk foam preparation time: 23 seconds
