Espresso Machine

Best Cup For The Win
Although technically speaking you can use any cup, it’s best to keep it tall and add a stainless steel straw to sip away and taste that chocolatey and nutty goodness.
The pour isn’t difficult, just pick your glass wisely and empty your blender and if your using a cocktail shaker, don’t pour your fluffy milky cold brew with a strainer.

Equipment & Things Needed
step by step Guide
Step 1
For this demonstration, we will be using our Delonghi EC260.
Ensure there’s enough water in the water tank. Switch on your espresso machine and wait for confirmation your espresso machine is ready.
Grab your coffee portafilter (handle with coffee basket), place the double espresso basket instead of the single espresso basket and unseal your deliciously fresh coffee bag of La Bella Figura, and slowly place 24g of coffee into the coffee basket.
Using either the shaft of your coffee scoop or the shaft of a spoon. Slide it across the top of the coffee heap (start at the rim of your portafilter, to ensure that your coffee is aligned and uniform.
Then tamp down the coffee grinds held in the portafilter with minimal down-force pressure.
Lastly, place your portafilter into the locking chamber of your espresso machine, tighten it by turning the handle counter clockwise until it locks fully.
Step 2
Position your double walled cup directly underneath the spout of your locked portafilter. Sometimes depending on how cold it is, we like to warm up our cups with some warm water or steam before commencing with the espresso pour.
Press the double espresso button or turn the dial to a double-shot depending on your espresso machine.
Once your espresso machine has finished extraction, remove your espresso cup.
Pour your espresso into a blender or cocktail shaker with ice and milk.
Shake or blend thoroughly until you get a foamy milkshake like consistency.
