How to make a Hot Chocolate with a Nespresso Lattissima + and Starbucks Hot Cocoa Classic
Attach the milk tank filled with 1% (low fat) milk
Set froth level to 1
Place 10 oz. mug under the spout
Remove any Nespresso Pods from the machine
Press “Latte Macchiato” button- Before milk cycle ends (sputters) hit “Latte Macchiato” again
Stir in 1 Tablespoon of Starbucks Hot Cocoa Classic
This drink yields approximately 190 ml (~ 5 oz.)
We’ve been making a lot of hot chocolate this holiday season with our DeLonghi Lattissima Plus Nespresso Machine and have found this to be our second favorite “hot chocolate” recipe.
My preference is to go with 1 tbsp of the cocoa (directions call for 2 tbsp) as the blend is very chocolate-y. Additionally, using 1 tbsp cuts the 12g of sugar in a normal serving to just 6g, the saturated fat to just 0.5g (not including the milk), and the overall calorie count to 40 calories. The ingredients of the Starbucks mixture is listed as: Sugar, Cocoa (processed with Alkali), Vanilla

why do you hit the latte macchiato button twice?
When you hit the button a second time it stops the cycle – in this case, you just want to get the milk for the hot chocolate, so make sure to stop it before you get to the espresso or you’ll get water mixed in.
