A decadent espresso-based latte that captures the essence of a chocolate muffin in liquid form. Rich espresso meets velvety steamed milk infused with chocolate and vanilla, topped with a cinnamon-sugar foam that mimics muffin top crumbles. Perfect for dessert or an indulgent afternoon treat.

Brewing Instructions

  1. Prepare the espresso: Grind 18g of medium-dark roast beans to fine consistency. Dose and tamp evenly in portafilter.
  2. Extract the shot: Pull a double espresso (36ml) in 25-30 seconds. Aim for rich, golden crema.
  3. Prepare the milk: Pour 180ml cold whole milk into steaming pitcher. Add brown sugar and mix gently.
  4. Steam the milk: Steam milk to 150-160°F, creating microfoam texture. The sugar will caramelize slightly, adding muffin-like sweetness.
  5. Assemble the drink: Add chocolate syrup and vanilla to espresso in 8oz cup. Pour steamed milk, holding back foam initially, then spoon foam on top.
  6. Finish: Dust with cinnamon and cocoa powder to create the "muffin top" effect.
