1. Start by grinding 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso extraction.
2. Fill the portafilter of your espresso machine with the ground coffee and use a tamper to compress the grounds evenly.
3. Attach the portafilter to the espresso machine and pull a double shot of espresso using 60 milliliters of water. This should take about 25-30 seconds.
4. While the espresso is being extracted, pour 180 milliliters of oat milk into a milk frothing pitcher.
5. Place the steam wand of your espresso machine into the oat milk and steam it until the milk is heated to approximately 65°C (150°F) and has a silky, velvety texture with microfoam. Be careful not to overheat to prevent scorching the milk.
6. Once the espresso is ready, pour it into a large coffee cup or mug.
7. Gently swirl the milk pitcher to achieve a smooth and silky texture, then slowly pour the steamed oat milk over the espresso, allowing the crema on the espresso to rise for a rich, layered appearance.
8. Optionally, serve your Heart-Healthy Oat Milk Flat White with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top for added flavor.
9. Enjoy your delicious and heart-healthy flat white!
