Steamed milk, one of the primary ingredients of a latte

In Italy, caffe latte is almost always prepared at home, for breakfast only. The coffee is brewed with a stovetop Moka and poured into a cup containing heated milk. The Moka pot (or Espresso pot, or Moka Express) is a stovetop Espresso maker based on the principle of preparing coffee with pressurized boiling (The Moka does not produce true espresso, but rather a double-strength coffee. Also, unlike the international latte drink, the milk in the Italian original is not foamed. )
