If you’re like us, oat m*lk holds a special place in our hearts. Minor Figures Oat and Oatly Barista froth up really well, but we’ve got plenty of other plant-based m*lks to experiment with, from hemp seed to tiger nut.
The “Espresso”
If you don’t have an espresso or coffee machine, here are some alternative ways to get you a shot of coffee.
Moka Pot
The classic stovetop espresso maker uses the pressure of steam to extract the coffee, and is probably the best way to get an espresso like coffee at home. Learn how to brew with one here:
Aeropress
The Aeropress uses pressure to extract the flavour of the coffee and is great for making a quick espresso style coffee at home. This video tutorial goes through the different brews you can make with this piece of kit.
French Press
It won’t taste as strong due to the lack of pressure, but you can make a concentrated coffee in a French press by using a lot less water than normal and leaving to brew. This video gives exact measurements:
Instant Coffee
If you don’t have any of the above, you could make a really concentrated instant-coffee, using around 50ml of water and a teaspoon of granules.
The Froth
Luckily there are plenty of ways to froth milk without a steaming wand.
- On the hob. Heat up the milk of your choice in a pan on the hob, Once it’s hot (but not boiling) start to whisk until it works up into a foam.
- In the microwave. Pour your milk into a jar with a lid, leaving at least half of the jar empty. Screw the lid on tightly, then shake it like you’re mixing a cocktail for 30 seconds, until the milk is foamy. Microwave for 40 second, until it’s hot.
The Mug
For the ultimate coffee-shop experience, warm up your mug by filling it with a splash of boiling water, leaving it for 30 seconds, then tossing the water away before filling up with coffee. It’ll keep your coffee hot.
