You notice from the table that it is steamed milk, or its foam, that adds a zip to ordinary
espresso. For a good steam you need a steamer that most espresso machines, even designed for
home use, include as standard gear. Commercial espresso makers inject air along with steam
through a steam wand or nozzle. Home espresso makers may also have a separate air injectors but
even if yours doesn’t, you can produce a perfectly satisfactory milk froth and steamed milk.
Caffè latte
If you have an espresso machine with a steam nozzle, latte is not difficult to make in your
kitchen, even though most people prefer to have a latte in a cafe.
