Coffee-Based Beverages

White Chocolate Coffee (Hot or Iced)

White Chocolate Coffee (Hot or Iced)

Indulge in the richness of Peet's Midtown Roast with creamy, rich white chocolate and luscious milk froth for an elevated coffee experience.

You'll need:

Directions:

  1. Place a mug onto the tray of your L'OR BARISTA System and balance the piece of white chocolate across the top of the glass, leaving enough room for coffee to flow over it into the cup (or break it up and place it in the bottom of the mug).
  2. Press the medium (8 oz) pour button and let the coffee flow into the mug. This will gradually melt the white chocolate; give it a good stir to combine.
  3. Using the L'OR Milk Frother, add 3.9oz of whole milk (to the fill line) and froth until creamy.
  4. Pour the milk into the white chocolate coffee mixture and enjoy.

For Iced: To make an iced version, add ice to your coffee glass after step 2 and use the cold froth setting on the L’OR Milk Frother.

Espresso-Based Beverages

  • 6-8 oz. milk
  • Ice (optional)

Directions:

  • For extra flair, add a drizzle of caramel or sprinkle of cinnamon to finish it off.

For Iced: To make an iced version, follow the steps above, but let the espresso cool off for a few minutes before adding ice. Then, pour cold milk almost to the top of your glass, stir, and enjoy.

For Iced: To make an iced version, follow the steps above, but let the espresso cool off for a few minutes before adding ice. Then, pour cold milk almost to the top of your glass, stir, and enjoy.

 

Mocha (Hot or Iced)

Cappuccino (Hot or Iced)

Cappuccino (Hot or Iced)

In Italian coffee culture, a cappuccino is a classic espresso beverage enjoyed only in the early or mid-morning, often accompanied by a breakfast pastry. It's made with more or less equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam, lending a rich, frothy mouthfeel to each sip.

You'll need:

Directions:

  1. Use your L'OR BARISTA System to make a double shot of espresso.
  2. Top it with equal parts steamed milk and milk foam. To do this, first pour half the milk into the L'OR Milk Frother and warm it (but do not froth it). Add the warmed milk to your espresso.
  3. Fill the frother with the remaining milk, froth it, pour it on top, and enjoy.
