I thought this worked out very well! The taste is excellent and it comes out just like a pretty coffee drink you would get in a European cafe. I used freshly brewed espresso and then proceeded with the rest of the recipe. Also,I didn't notice until after I had already prepared this successfully with skim milk that I was supposed to use whole. I thought it was just wonderful using the skim milk and it frothed up fine using a wand style blender. Thanks for sharing.

I have an espresso/cappuccino machine, but lost the frothing tube. Never thought about heating up the milk and then whipping it up in the blender. Now I can enjoy lattes and cappuccino at home again, so thanks for sharing. Also, I added about a tablespoon of simple syrup into the blender with the milk since a like it to be a little sweet.

i am amazed at this recipe! Having just returned from my honeymoon in otaly i was desperate to re-kindle the experience i had of enjoying the latte machiatto overlooking the glorious views of Lake Garda. This recipe is fantastic. I thought i was going to find it hard to find instant espresso powder, but my local supermarket stoked it! I followed the recipe and was amazed at the results! I even took a photograph!! Thank you so much for helping me to revive my honeymoon memories!

I've been trying to make this for a year, ever since I had it at a cafe in Galveston, TX. Have tried several other methods but it never would layer. This worked great first try! I used 1% milk and a hand frother in an Irish coffe mug. Perfect.

I made this with regular soy milk and brewed espresso and it was fabulous! Thanks for posting the recipe! Much cheaper than going to the local coffee shop... and better, too.

This was new to me and I loved it. I used 2% milk and not quite the required amount of espresso powder (all I had in the pantry). It was delicious and surprisingly sweet for something with no added sugar. Can't wait to make this for my coffee-loving SIL. Thanks, I know I'll be repeating this often.

I haven't tried this method but I do know that the less fat in the milk the better frothing it is. I have a cappucino maker so I will try this using it. I've heard of the Macchiato but I read the Macchiato means mark... because the espresso leaves a mark in the froth. Either way it's attractive when served in a glass.
