Turns out making a latte is really pretty simple

You just need a french press.

Get some really good coffee. You can find Espresso varieties in Whole Foods. Grind it on a coarse setting, thicker than you would for an automatic pot.

Brew the coffee in your french press. (That just means you take some water that has been boiled and then let to sit for about half a minute, pour it in the french press container over the coffee grinds. Then you rest the lid on top. Let it brew on its own for about 4 minutes and then slowly push down the lid.)

Pour out the coffee into mugs, fill 1/3 to 1/2 of each mug.

Clean out the french press.

Warm some milk on the stove. Don't boil it. Just make it warm enough that your finger gets hot when you test it.

Put the warm milk in the french press. Move the plunger up and down to create a froth.

Pour some frothed milk into each coffee mug.

Yummy.
