Equipment
Let’s talk equipment. I am 100% convinced that the best and easiest way to make a latte (or really any espresso/coffee drink) is with the Nespresso machine! When my husband and I got married, one of the first things that we did was buy a Nespresso machine. I’ve been hooked ever since!
Specifically, I used the Nespresso Vertuo Plus Black D Range Machine to make this vanilla latte. It’s perfect for making espresso AND coffee, which is nice. It’s also incredibly easy to use!
Vanilla Latte Recipe Ingredients
You’ll only need 4 simple ingredients to make this easy vanilla latte recipe!
- Double Shot Nespresso Pods – These are my favorite pods to use, but you can make this vanilla latte with any espresso or strong coffee pod of choice.
- Milk – Regular milk or whole milk. For a dairy-free option, barista-grade oat milk or creamy cashew milk do well in the frothed!
- Raw Sugar – You can honestly use any type of sugar, but raw sugar will always be my favorite option for the best vanilla lattes.
- Vanilla Extract – Optional, but adds so much flavor!
How to Make a Nespresso Vanilla Latte
1. Brew Nespresso espresso pod or coffee pod in machine.
2. Add raw cane sugar.
3. Pour heated milk into mug.
4. Add froth and leave on top or mix in.
I used the Vertuo Vanilla Custard Pie pods to add that light, delicious vanilla flavor! However, feel free to add 1/2 tsp vanilla if you use a different flavor of pod (per serving).
What to pair this recipe with
- Coffee Panna Cotta – a delicious, springtime treat!
- Mocha Overnight Oats – perfect for breakfast.
- Mocha Protein Peanut Butter Pancakes – so yummy and perfect for the family!
I’m so obsessed with how easily this vanilla latte recipe comes together with the Nespresso machine and pods. It’s the best for enjoying daily, sharing with friends, and celebrating the change in seasons! Cheers to starting the day off right!
