STEP 1

Brew your coffee.

We recommend Starbucks^® Pike Place^® Roast Whole Bean for this recipe. It brews especially well in a coffee press, or a filter brewer. Never heard of them before? We’ve got your back with our home brewing guide (https://athome.starbucks.com/how-to-brew-coffee-at-home-press/#sb-verisom-tabs).

Next Step

STEP 2

Froth your warmed milk or dairy alternative.

Just in case you’re new to frothing, we’ve put together a guide (https://athome.starbucks.com/how-to-froth-milk/) to help. Quick lifehack: you can use your French Press as a milk frother (once you’ve poured the coffee out, of course).

Next Step

STEP 3

Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your favourite mug.

Don’t fill the mug all the way – about ¾ full. You've got to leave space for the froth, you know? The froth’s important.

Next Step

STEP 4

Pour the frothy milk in, all the way to the top.

aww yes!
