VIEWERS TORN OVER THE RIGHT WAY TO BREW COFFEE WITH NESPRESSO. HAVE YOU BEEN DOING IT WRONG?

Popularized by their ability to surpass ordinary Keurigs and brew delicious lattes and other espresso-based drinks right in your kitchen, Nespresso machines have been a TikTok favorite for years.

But a recent viral video posted to the site begs an important question: What is the “right” way to use it?

A method shared by beauty and lifestyle TikToker Ana Gaby suggests holding a metal spoon directly beneath the espresso stream as it pours into your cup.

“The metal absorbs the heat and doesn’t water down the ice,” Gaby explained.

The TikTok’s comments section was flooded with other suggestions for the perfect Nespresso coffee.

Many viewers were shocked to watch Gaby brew over ice at all, however. “We always did ⅔ ice, milk til it floats, then espresso on it,” a former barista weighed in. When asked why ice wasn’t added in last, they explained that starting with ice ensured that each cup of coffee contained the same amount.
