Brew
Brew your favorite coffee, espresso or tea. Pro Tip: We have been serving handcrafted lattes in our cafes since 1963. We use our decades-long perfected Espresso Blend coffee in our stores. While most coffee brands combine beans and roast them together, we painstakingly roast each unique single origin bean and roast it to our exacting standards to maximize the flavor profile of each unique bean type. Only then do we combine our beans to create what we feel is the ultimate coffee for Lattes. Espresso Blend Coffee is available in whole bean, ground and decaf options.
Add Some Yum
Add 1/3 cup of one of our powders from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. (or more or less to suit your flavor preference). At The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf cafes, we use our delicious Signature Flavoring powders which provide a wonderful sweet and creamy taste and superb mouthfeel. These powders are specifically made to taste great hot, iced, or blended.
Mix Away
Small mixers like the Bodum Handheld Frother are a must have for any kitchen! Use one to mix your coffee or tea and flavoring powders right in your cup.
Add Froth
Don’t have a fancy espresso maker machine at home to steam your milk? No problem! We recommend using Bodum’s electric Milk Frother (it makes hot foam, cold foam and hot chocolate too.) Just pour in the milk, press the start button, and you’ll get café quality foam in a snap.
Pro Tip: Infuse your latte foam with flavoring powder after the foam is created to add wonderful flavor options for your latte recipes.
Garnish & Enjoy
Top your hand-crafted drink with some of your favorite latte toppings such as chocolate or caramel sauce, pumpkin pie spice, caramel candy pieces, or crushed pistachios. Get creative!
