About this personality

The Home Espresso Boss

No tips necessary. Compliments welcome.

Your kitchen has a machine with a name, a tamper with its own stand and a knock box that sees daily action. You dial in every new bag, you pull a mean cortado and you're the reason friends "just happen to stop by" in the morning.

  • Dials in daily
  • 18 in, 36 out
  • Runs the bar

The perfect cortado

1 small glass · 2 minutes

You need

  • 18 g coffee, espresso grind
  • About 36 g espresso out (1:2)
  • 60 ml whole milk, lightly steamed

Make it

  1. Pull a double shot: 18 g in, about 36 g out in 25 to 30 seconds.
  2. Steam the milk with just a little foam, to about 60°C (140°F).
  3. Pour it in gently: roughly equal parts milk and espresso.
  4. Serve in a small glass. Accept applause.
