👇 Step-by-Step Instructions (Follow along in real time):

1️⃣ Steam the Milk First (Smart Workflow)
• Pour 200 ml of milk into your steaming pitcher.
• Place the thermometer in and set it to beep at 65°C.
• Set the pitcher hands-free on the drip tray and activate the steam wand.
• Let the milk steam on its own while you prepare the espresso.

2️⃣ Prepare the Espresso
• Mist the beans in the single-dose tube using RDT.
• Start the grinder (hot-start), then pour the beans into the hopper.
• Grind directly into the bottomless portafilter using the funnel.
• Use WDT for even distribution.
• Tamp with the Normcore auto-level tamper on a tamping station.
• Add a puck screen on top.
• Place your scale under the portafilter, start the shot, and stop when your desired weight is reached (typically 36–42g).
• Stir the espresso with a spoon for better flavor consistency.

3️⃣ Pour and Serve
• By now, your milk will be perfectly steamed and ready to pour.
• Swirl the pitcher, polish the milk, and pour over the espresso in your 300 ml cup.
• Enjoy a beautifully smooth, rich latte with no wasted time.

Pro Tip: Steaming the milk before extraction saves time and works especially well with machines like the Barista Express, which take a while to heat milk. This advanced workflow keeps everything smooth and efficient.
