Start strong and use fresh, quality coffee beans. Be sure to follow the ratio of coffee to water as directed in the recipe. If you don't have an espresso machine, make your brew on the slightly stronger side by reducing the ratio of water to beans.
Add a pinch of salt to the grounds before brewing if you want to mask bitterness and highlight the coffee's natural sweetness.
Steam some milk by shaking milk and some sugar in a jar, then microwave for 30 seconds.
Add a little flavor with syrups after brewing, or add a dash of peppermint, vanilla, or a coconut extract to the grounds before brewing.
