A smaller, stronger milk drink with a thin, glossy top. Gaggia gives no recipe; this is common café practice.
- Pull a double shot, or a ristretto, into a 150 to 180 ml cup.
- Press the steam button; when the light comes on, clear the wand.
- Froth about 110 ml of cold milk for only 2 to 3 seconds.
- Push the nozzle deeper and turn the milk until it shines, to about 60 °C. Close the knob.
- Pour low and fast into the middle, leaving a top under 1 cm thick.
