How do I make a latte at home?

Question

I have an old fashione (but good) basic filter coffee maker, because I like my coffee strong, plain and black.

I have a friend who only drinks latte, so what is the best way for me to make her one at my house? How much coffee and how much water should I use in my machine to make it strong enough to be like an espresso shot that I can mix with the hot milk?

Answer 1

Make a standard pot of filter.  Fill the cup 1/3 with filter coffee, one third with warmed milk and 33% frothed milk.

Filter is never going to be as strong as espresso because of the process used to make it.
