RECIPES

No Bueno Espresso

    • 15–17 g No Bueno

    • Ice cubes (lots)

    • Cold milk of choice (oat, almond, or dairy all work beautifully)

    • Optional: dash of vanilla syrup or honey

    1. Pull your shot: Brew a No Bueno espresso.

    2. Sweeten it up (optional): While the shot is still hot, stir in your vanilla syrup or honey so it melts and blends perfectly.

    3. Cool it down: Let it rest for a minute — or pour it straight over a handful of ice to chill fast.

    4. Add milk: Top with 150–200 ml of cold milk. Stir gently to keep that layered look.

    5. Sip: Serve in a glass cup for full amber-and-cream effect.

    • 15–17 g No Bueno

    • Milk of choice (dairy or plant-based — oat and almond are top picks)

    • Espresso machine with steam wand or a milk frother

    1. Pull your shot: Brew a No Bueno espresso

    2. Steam your milk: Aim microfoam that’s glossy and thick, not bubbly.

    3. Combine: Pour the steamed milk over your No Bueno shot, keeping about ⅓ espresso, ⅓ milk, ⅓ foam.

    4. Swirl & serve: Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or honey for an extra cozy touch.

    • 15–17 g No Bueno rooibos grounds

    • Espresso machine & portafilter

    1. Grind & dose: Use 15–17 grams of No Bueno. The grind is already espresso-like.

    2. Tamp evenly: Firm pressure, and smooth surface.

    3. Pull your shot: You’ll see a deep amber color and a light, creamy foam.

    4. Taste & tweak: Adjust if it’s too watery or too intense.

    4. Steam your milk: Heat your milk until silky and foamy.
