Brew your espresso the way you like it. 2. Fill your pitcher with 4x the amount of water of your espresso. In the video it’s 160g of water and ~40g of espresso. 3. Steam your water until it’s between 60-70°C (140-158°F). 4. Skim the crema off your espresso. 5. Pour the steamed water into your drinking vessel of choice followed by your espresso. 6. Stir and enjoy! Aerocano 1. Brew your espresso and skim the crema - this will be easier if you let your espresso rest for a minute. 2. Fill your pitcher with 85g of ice and 65g of water (Shorter ratio of espresso to water is fine - especially if you’re pouring your coffee over ice as it will dilute over time). 3. Steam for 8-10 seconds (don’t let it get too warm). 4. Pour into a chilled glass, or over ice, and enjoy! Steamed Americano 1. Brew your espresso and skim the crema - this will be easier if you let your espresso rest for a minute. 2. Add 160g of water to your pitcher (the colder the better, you’ll have more time to steam), followed by your espresso. 3. Steam together until 60-70°C. 4. Pour and enjoy!
