Just here to say thank you, got up and made my sister and I lattes this morning, caught her totally by surprise, she loved it. Tasted great, thanks a ton
I got myself a Moka pot for a strong brew and I also got me one of them frothers (small cafetiere with a dual mesh that goes all the way down, essentially optimized for frothing milk) - gonna try your method, just with different kit. Can't wait! Started grinding fresh beans just before brewing - the difference it makes is fantastic!

I'm 53 and tried my first "fancy coffee" 3 weeks ago...it was a cafe latte. I regret that I can't get those wasted years back. I watched a dozen at-home latte videos and liked yours best. I settled on this as the perfect method. It's simple, elegant, affordable, and satisfying. Thank you!!
I used instant coffee for the espresso, then heated up the milk in a microwave, but I used an electrical frother instead of the French press , and it costs only like 3$ or even less. Then viola!
Right, what the heck. I gave him the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe it's a whole bean espresso roast and he's about to grind it. But then he scooped out espresso ground coffee and I was like 0_0 nooooo lol
I guess it helped that he only poured off the top layer and wasted the rest... So if he didn't plunge it down all the way and he left it long enough he might have avoided the sediment a bit like in a Turkish coffee... Still seems like a bad idea
You guys don't seem to know how to make Good coffee if you find this unbelievable. Yes you still get crema (wth??) from high quality beans extracted at the right temp, for the right amount of time (Bloom and brew) at the right grind size I'd recommend experimenting more instead of following instructions.
I normally refrain from negative comments But today I'll make an exception. Sorry, I don't believe you. I can tell the difference between French press coffee and a pulled shot.
It’s even poorly edited. If you watch closely when he pours the milk, in some scenes the top is on and in some others the top is off. You can tell there that he steamed the milk with an espresso machine
I have read some of the comments below so thought I would try it myself and leave another comment about my own experience. I have just tried it myself. it definitely works, amazing I have never seen so much froth.... thanks again.
Foam with a French press is pretty neat (and cheap) But if you’re wanting cheap espresso I would recommend a moka pot, it will be the closest you can get without buying an espresso machine.
Yes, there's a moka in every Italian home. Although I passed to the pod machine now, it's way faster and more convenient (not nespresso though, Lavazza does these kind of machines too).
I really like this little tutorial, I hve been using a French press since 2008 and it makes the best coffee[pour over is great aswell]. I use a hot coal and an unborn unicorn baby to kindle the pot to a perfect temperature. Then I use the bones of my enemies to stir the coffee perfectly. Gr8 video mate.
i have a few questions (sorry if my english is quite bad) 1- your “espresso” that you made using the press look so watery but then when it comes to the end, it look thick and have crema on it. how do you get the crema using the press? 2- what about the temperature of the milk when u heat it using the microwave for a minute? i dont think it reaches 63-67 celsius 3- look at minute 5:30 you take off the plunger and at 5:35 the plunger is there. how?
Video editing click baity tutorial. Crema appeared from no where. That too after 1-1.5 minutes after pouring in the cup while the milk was heating. It's a miracle. 😏
Put milk in a jar about a quarter way up, shake 30 seconds, put in microwave 30 seconds, hold back foam with spoon pour milk into espresso, and spoon forth on top of espresso
I think I watched too much James Hoffmann, because I was like “why he doesn’t grind coffee beans, why he isn’t using a scale, why he isn’t using a timer?” :D I prefer clear metric measurements
"We are not going to be fancy".. Apparently that means disregarding everything that makes a decent cup of coffee, for the sake of convenience. "Fill the mug almost to the top, not all the way". HOW BIG IS THE MUG?!?!! So chaotic from start to finish.
I came here to know how I can properly froth my milk with a french press and instead I found a comment section full of people that talk about how this barista is either ed sheeran or ron weasley. I mean, I agree, I totally do.
sorry for my english but gotta ask 1 thing. as far as i know Espresso losses this crema color if you let it stay for a while. so you finished the espresso then waited 1 minute for the microwave then you pumped the milk or what ever you did there and the black espresso becomes beautiful crema as you just made it a minute ago from an espresso mashine. Am i wrong?
It's mostly fake due to movie magic. I for one heat up the milk while the espresso is brewing, serve the shot, rinse my press, then throw in the milk. Gotta be quick af which is not easy when using one press and it will never be as good as an espresso machine, but don't let that stop you attempting this
I just found a new french press at a second hand store! No microwave tho..I can warm it on the coffee maker as it is shite for brewing. Hence my new mode of making coffee..thanx I do love my lattes!
At one point your pouring the milk with the lid of the french press on and then at another point just after your still pouring and yet its not on anymore
Use an Areopress for an even better coffee. Since getting my Areopress at Christmas, I haven't used any other method to make coffee. Best present I've ever had.
If you're getting a muddy taste maybe your grind is too fine? Also, are you using paper or metal filters? Metal filters aren't as fine and allow some grinds to get through.
Gareth Lent Owning both I'm not sure I'd agree with you there. I find a lot depends on the beans, and the type of coffee you want. I've never had great success with the v60 with dark roasts, and if making an espresso type shot, the Aeropress wins hands down for me. But both are great bits of kit, I guess it depends what you want to do with them.
I use the cheap battery-protein smoothie blender to blend the milk. I bought it at 10us from the gym. You can find it at any gym shops. It makes such a thick foam! I never eat any smoothie nor protein. I just bought it to make foam milk!
This video made me sad. I’m a barista and I know for a fact that coffee at the end was a pulled espresso shot from the machine, not from a French press.

It's insane how well a French press works for frothing milk. 🙂
Yes, I made frost by that coffee pressure.
The coffee in the mug looks very different from the french press coffee you had poured earlier. Hmm.....
yes it is not right him using properly made espresso for the final part. it is misleading
It’s sill his dream
Yep i notice that too
That’s the first thing I saw - french presses cannot give coffee crema as an espresso machine would.
Seriously guys...

I like that he actually showed cleaning up his mess.
I just tried to make the foamy milk with a French press and it worked so well! I think I over did it. Really cool!
I used instant coffee for the espresso, then heated up the milk in a microwave, but I used an electrical frother instead of the French press , and it costs only like 3$ or even less.
Then viola!
never use espresso grind in a french press, unless you like mud in your coffee
chaotic/Silence He should use it with a moka pot

its a good recipie..i make using this and a bit of my way
Its good for people at home who want to save money. Obviously its not going to taste the exact same but it'll definitely take care of a latte craving.
james Hoffman would lose his mind from how this coffee was "savagely" made :'D
you're a life saver man huge coffee drinker here without a fancy Swiss coffee machine made at home during quarantine. 😊😊
look at the cup at 2:47 then at 5:20 you will see the walls of the cup suddenly have crema...
I know. I was like -__- there is no way he got a beautiful shot with crema like that with this method. That milk looks too good too. -_- lol
'Pop' this and 'Pop' that, lets keep poppin yea !
This was the best video that I have seen about how to make coffee. Also the instructor and quality of the video was great.

Kärl Zainal i slso noticed no1. Did he change the coffee????
No3 🙄🙄🙄🙄🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Space and time has warped
Video editing click baity tutorial. Crema appeared from no where. That too after 1-1.5 minutes after pouring in the cup while the milk was heating. It's a miracle. 😏
he put wayy too much coffee for the amount of water and size of the french press. crema comes from letting it rest.
Best coffee channel ever!
Thank you freckles, really cool
Put milk in a jar about a quarter way up, shake 30 seconds, put in microwave 30 seconds, hold back foam with spoon pour milk into espresso, and spoon forth on top of espresso
haha he used another espresso shot to pour on
I use this method and one con is your latté will be slightly cold..
Purrrfect latte at home ☕️

Sutherland. I noticed it too
dark sorcery
Dude you nailed it. Worked great
Glad it helped. Stay fuelled.
Man I can’t get this level of creamy milk. I always get foam and below it just milk
That’s because this video is fake. The milk he pours is steamed by a espresso machine
@@alienzm1239 yep
I've tried it. It works! Thank You!
That so called “espresso” you made in the press would be bitter/cold af sitting that long.
Might be bitter but not cold
Yeah...it's bitter...that's like the whole point of coffee, especially of espresso.
this is so helpful and informative... thanks for the video
Can you put the water, the beans, the milk together and boil it instead of doing it separately?
Sort of. Boil is the wrong term as that would be too hot for the milk. But check out this video. th-cam.com/video/WG_sJRSH2t4/w-d-xo.html
it was easy and very helpful, thank you
Whips out a microwave
Thank God ilooking for this one❤making latte art without steaminf pitcher👌
No measuring…
No weighing…
Only one minute of brew…!
I am dying! Sooo many deaths!
Not only that, he threw half the damn coffee away, wonder if he chucked the left over milk as well, so much waste going on, it's criminal!!!
I have everything at home and i will try now! thank you so much!
When he put the microwave too XD
Such a big fail on so many levels
That was adorable
How did you get the crema over the espresso shot after using a French press?
you can't
Use an Areopress for an even better coffee. Since getting my Areopress at Christmas, I haven't used any other method to make coffee. Best present I've ever had.
Aeropress inventor is a genius.
If you ever try a Geisha coffee the Aeropress is the perfect brewer for it.
maria I wrong. Aeropress still had a muddied taste. The only real method for Geisha is a V60. Clean and crisp.
If you're getting a muddy taste maybe your grind is too fine? Also, are you using paper or metal filters? Metal filters aren't as fine and allow some grinds to get through.
Andy Gait Grind is perfect, paper filters used. Compared to a V60 an aeropress can't compete for delicate flavours.
Gareth Lent Owning both I'm not sure I'd agree with you there. I find a lot depends on the beans, and the type of coffee you want. I've never had great success with the v60 with dark roasts, and if making an espresso type shot, the Aeropress wins hands down for me.
But both are great bits of kit, I guess it depends what you want to do with them.

I use the cheap battery-protein smoothie blender to blend the milk. I bought it at 10us from the gym. You can find it at any gym shops. It makes such a thick foam! I never eat any smoothie nor protein. I just bought it to make foam milk!

how you get crema with plunger :@
