I am fortunate enough to have the option to work from home several days a week. Extra nice is the coffee at home is much much tastier than in the office :D

I prepared this "latte macchiato" style drink with a 4-cup moka pot, 16g of store-bought high roast coffee beans (not particularly good), 170mL water. 100mL milk, warmed in the microwave, foamed with a small electric whisk.

Easy to prepare at home with simple tools. I don't have any fancy espresso machine 😥 Result looks good, tastes not bad either. What hold it back in terms of flavor is the quality of the beans. I am just trying to get through this bag quickly as to not waste.

If you can, don't buy the beans at the supermarket. Go directly to a roastery close to you. In my experience, beans at the supermarket are often months old already and when I go to the roastery they give me beans that were roasted only 2-3 days before. The difference in taste is night and day.
