Milk to use for cafe latte When it comes to the best milk for your cafe latte, I’d recommend whole milk before anything else. Because it has the perfect balance of fats, proteins, sugar and water that is needed for smooth microfoam. You may also use 2% milk and it works effectively, but you lose some of the richness. The most essential thing to remember about the milk: make sure it’s as fresh as possible! Milk that is approaching its expiration date does not foam as well.

Lattes are hot or iced coffee drinks made with espresso and milk. Homemade versions of lattes can be made with a coffee machine, Nespresso, Keurig or an espresso machine. Tea lattes are drinks made with tea and milk.

Caffeine fiends on the Northern Beaches haven't had the best options in past. But now the Beaches is home to some top-notch coffee spots, including uber-cool roastery Coffee Supreme.
