Best Coffee Makersto Make a Latte
It has become somewhat of a norm for coffee machines – starting at capsule-style coffee machines all the way through to automatic coffee machines- to be able to dispense a standard cappuccino. A cappuccino consists of one part coffee, and two parts frothed milk. Frothed milk is by nature a dense, thick and creamy type of milk variation which most of us love.
However, there has been a movement of late -especially since the introduction of Jura’s Professional Fine Foam Frother – for the need and want of foamed milk. Foamed milk is far lighter, more aerated and less creamy and dense when compared to its sibling – froth. This is the main differentiating factor between a cappuccino and a latte.
Not all coffee machines are created equal, so we’ve decided to make a list of the most popular coffee machines to be able to produce foamed milk – ergo – latte’s.
Which Coffee Maker Brands Make Lattes?
As we mentioned, Jura may very well have been the pioneer in terms of creating a device through which you can determine the frothiness or foaminess of your milk. Any Jura coffee machine that is capable of fitting a Professional Fine Foam Frother has the capability to prepare you frothed, foamed or heated milk. This means you have access to cappuccinos, lattes’ – AND flat whites!
Some Russell Hobbs models are capable of allowing for adjustment to milk froth or foam intensity – such as the Nero Espresso. The trick with this machine is to learn how to professionally foam the milk – which may be tricky in an office environment with various users – some of which have never used a coffee machine before. Nevertheless, the manual steaming wand lends the ability to fully customise the milk for your coffee drink.
Certain higher-end Saeco coffee machines feature the Pinless Wonder Cappuccinatore – and with the built-in One Touch Cappuccino/Latte option – making your favourite of the two is as easy as, well, clicking on one button. This machine has a fitting similar to the frother types seen on Jura coffee machines.
When it comes to capsule-style coffee machines, a frother that can prepare foamed or frothed milk is rarely spotted. The Nespresso Lattissima is one of the few capsule coffee machines with this feature; automatic programming quantity for coffee and milk recipes (Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato and Extra Milk Froth) mean you have a rather impressive range – especially for a capsule machine!
The Breville BES870XL Barista Express Espresso Machine is going to take some getting used to – especially for the homer user or someone new to coffee preparation. The coffee requires grinding and tamping before it can prepare your coffee, and the milk frothing wand will lend a hand in helping you prepare fully customised milk froth. If you’re prepared to learn how to use the machine, this may be a great bet for you.
