How to Make Espresso Without a Machine
Enjoying a homemade latte is a great way to save some money and create your own customized drinks. But if you don't have an espresso machine, you may be wondering how to get that classic coffeehouse flavor in your own recipes.
Luckily, there are a few different ways you can brew a shot of espresso without the need for an expensive machine!
Moka Pot
One inexpensive way to prepare espresso is with a Moka pot. This handy kettle is great for brewing a variety of different coffee types, including espresso!
To use your moka pot, measure around 2 tablespoons of espresso and pour it into the built-in filter. Lightly shake the filter to settle the grounds and create an even layer on top.
Pour 3 ½ fluid ounces of water into the bottom of the pot, then screw the spouted top onto the pot tightly.
Place the pot on a burner set to medium heat. After that, all you have to do is wait until the coffee begins to foam in the upper level of the pot. When the top of is full of brewed coffee, simply pour it into your glass and enjoy!
French Press
While a French press is typically used to brew traditional coffee, it can also be used to make espresso - although it won't be as strong as espresso brewed in a machine.
Start by brining one cup of water to just below 200 degrees in a kettle. After that, add your coffee grounds to the French press. Add a splash of hot water to the coffee grounds, then let them soak for around 30 seconds to help the coffee bloom.
Then, pour the rest of your hot water over the grounds, close the lid, and allow the coffee to steep for around 4 minutes. After that, you can press the plunger down halfway, using slow, steady pressure. Raise the top and press it down a second time using the same pressure. Then, your espresso is ready to enjoy!
Iced Nutella Latte Variations
Try these substitution and serving ideas to create a delicious coffee that's totally unique!
- Add some chocolate. While Nutella does feature notes of chocolate, there's no reason you can't add more! Try adding a swirl of chocolate syrup around the glaze. Or sprinkle some chopped chocolate pieces over the top before serving.
- Decorate with toppings. Dress up your homemade latte with toppings! A dollop of classic whipped cream is a great start, but you could also top your coffee with mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
- Serve with frozen coffee cubes. Keep your iced latte from becoming watered down as the ice melts by freezing some coffee cubes before you start brewing. Pop the frozen cubes out of the tray and add them to the glass with the rest of your latte ingredients.
A: Yes! Follow the same steps but skip the ice. Pour 3 ounces of warm steamed milk into your mug, then add the Nutella espresso mixture on top and stir to combine.
A: Whole milk gives the creamiest result, but oat milk is a great dairy-free option that froths beautifully and pairs well with the hazelnut chocolate flavor.
A: Absolutely. A Moka pot is the easiest no-machine method and gives you a rich, concentrated coffee that works perfectly in this recipe. A French press or strong brewed coffee will also work in a pinch.
A: This homemade iced Nutella latte is approximately 246 calories per serving, made with 1 tablespoon of Nutella and 1 cup of milk.
