Bianco Doppio Coffee Recipe | Step by Step Guide

You can simply pull a double shot espresso with an espresso machine. But it needs some attention while making a bianco doppio. Bianco doppio also contains some milk to make it like flat white coffee. That’s the name bianco doppio stands for “a double espresso with milk” or “double white”.

Ingredients You Need

• Espresso a double shot
• Milk 180 ml (any type)

Equipment Needed

• Milk frother
• Espresso machine
• Coffee cup
• Sweetener (as per taste)

Let’s Make It Happen

Here are some simple steps to make cafe style bianco doppio coffee at home.

• Heating Up The Milk: We are using 180 ml of whole milk and we will froth it first. You can use a milk frother or an electric frothing wand that can be attached with an espresso machine. Set the froth setting to high. 

• Brewing Doppio: Brew a double shot of espresso. It seems like a typical espresso but you must add double the amount of coffee grounds and water as well. Add coffee grounds in the espresso machine and fill the water chamber. Let the machine get ready, once the machine is ready pull a double shot in a preheated coffee cup.

• Pouring Frothed Milk: Pour a little amount (not all the milk) of hot frothed milk over doppio, a thin layer of foam will form on the top. 

• Filling The Cup: After the foam takes place on top, pour all remaining flat milk to fill the cup. It will add more whiteness and enhance creamy texture.

How To Make A Perfect Bianco Doppio | Mistakes to Avoid

Use The Best

Use the best ingredients in quality and also that compile perfectly with your recipe. We are making bianco doppio, so we will use whole milk which is best for this drink. The best thing about whole milk is it has a higher amount of cream and a certain amount of sweetness. That’s why it pairs well with espresso very well.
Coffee beans also play a crucial role in maintaining the flavor and taste for a coffee drink. There are some types of coffee beans to use for espresso. You can use Arabica coffee beans or Robusta for your espresso as per your preference.

Maintain Temperature

Keep the temperature consistent as too high temperature may burn the milk. It will make the milk bitter which will ruin the flavor. Also too hot espresso can also result in a bitter and burnt flavor in it.

Best Grind Size

Using the correct grind size ensures the desired taste of your coffee. The best grind size for espresso is evenly grind neither too coarse nor too fine. If you use too fine ground it will be highly bitter and using too fine ground will make it watery and fade in taste.

Over Frothing

Frothed milk adds a velvety essence in the texture of the drink. But creating too much foam will change the texture to too foamy and it will directly affect the taste of coffee.
