Pistachio Latte
Sometimes you come across a drink that does more than just wake you up. The pistachio latte is exactly that kind of drink. The combination of velvety milk foam, smooth espresso, and creamy pistachio paste really adds a pop of color to your cup and brightens your day with a new taste experience.
Pistachios add a delicate sweetness, a subtle nutty flavor, and a hint of Middle Eastern flair. Combined with the bitter kick of the espresso and the warm milk, the result is a perfect balance—like a drinkable dessert.
Whether as a special afternoon treat, for Sunday breakfast, or just when you want to treat yourself: the pistachio latte is a real feel-good coffee. And yes—it looks absolutely stunning, too! A dollop of cream, a few chopped pistachios on top… and there you have it: a coffee star with Instagram potential.

Ingredients:
a double espresso (e.g., with our Torino Ristretto)
200 ml of milk or a plant-based alternative
1–2 tablespoons pistachio paste (pistachio syrup can also be used as an alternative)
Chopped pistachios for garnish
Optional: 1 teaspoon of honey or agave syrup / whipped cream for garnish
Preparation:
Prepare the pistachio paste:
Pour the pistachio paste into a heat-resistant glass or a large mug. If you prefer it sweeter, stir in honey or your preferred sweetener right away.
Make the espresso:
Brew a double espresso or a strong cup of coffee. Pour it hot over the pistachio paste and stir thoroughly until everything has combined into a smooth cream.
Froth the milk:
Heat the milk and froth it with a milk frother until it's nice and creamy. Plant-based milks, such as oat or almond milk, often produce particularly stable foam and pair wonderfully with the pistachio flavor.
Finish the latte:
Slowly pour the frothed milk into the pistachio-espresso mixture. The foam should settle on top. If you like, you can top it off with some additional milk foam using a spoon.
Finish & serve:
Garnish the latte with chopped pistachios or a sprinkle of cocoa powder and/or whipped cream—it adds a flavor boost and looks great.
