Yes. Brew a double espresso shot, then add warmed, frothed milk. Heypresso 2.0 heats its own water to about 92°C and uses a 16g basket for a true double shot, but it does not froth milk. Use a handheld frother, shake hot milk in a jar, or blend milk briefly in a portable blender.
If you are still choosing a machine, start with our guide to the best portable espresso machines in Malaysia. Hiblendr makes Heypresso 2.0. Frother brands mentioned generally are not Hiblendr products.
Key takeaways

- Use the 16g double basket and the 80ml tank (30ml or 80ml markers).
- The Heypresso Coffee Stand lets you pour into a proper mug.
Three terms used here
- Latte: espresso with a larger amount of steamed milk and a thin foam layer.
- Double shot: on Heypresso, the 16g basket fill.
- Microfoam: fine milk foam for pouring — soft and pourable, not big bubbles.
Can you make a latte with a portable espresso machine?
Yes. Brew a double espresso shot, then add warmed, frothed milk. Heypresso 2.0 heats its own water to about 92°C and uses a 16g basket for a true double shot, but it does not froth milk. Use a handheld frother, shake hot milk in a jar, or blend milk briefly in a portable blender.
What you need (kit checklist)
- Heypresso 2.0 (RM429 as of October 2026)
- Ground coffee or compatible capsules (Nespresso Original, Starbucks capsules, or large coffee capsules)
- Milk of your choice
- A mug
- A handheld frother, a jar with a lid, or a portable blender
- Optional: Heypresso Coffee Stand (RM59, regular RM79)
- USB-C power if you are heating from cold
Step-by-step: latte on Heypresso 2.0
- Fill the tank to the 30ml marker for a classic shot, or 80ml for a longer coffee.
- Long-press to heat (about 300 seconds to about 92°C), or pour in hot water to save battery.
- Add up to 16g ground coffee or a compatible capsule.
- Brew and watch the extraction timer.
- Froth or warm milk separately (see the next sections).
- Pour milk over the shot; spoon a little foam on top.
- Flush or self-clean with water when done.
Hiblendr states about 3–5 heated coffees per charge from the 7500mAh battery, or up to 50 if you fill the tank with already-hot water.
Do you need a milk frother?
A frother makes finer foam faster, but you can skip it. Shake warm milk in a sealed jar for 20–30 seconds, or pulse cold milk with a little air in a portable blender, then pour over the shot. Buy a frother if you make lattes daily and want consistent foam with less mess.
| Method | Foam quality | Speed | Extra cost | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Handheld milk frother | Fine foam, most control | Fast | Low (third-party; Hiblendr does not sell one) | Daily hot lattes |
| Jar shake | Coarser foam | Medium | Free | Travel / occasional lattes |
| Portable blender (e.g. Juice Cup Ultra) | Smooth iced texture; can over-aerate hot milk | Fast | You may already own one (JCU RM329) | Iced lattes / frappé-style |

Which milk works best?
Full-cream dairy usually froths most easily. Oat "barista" style often foams better than regular oat; soy varies by brand. Low-fat milk froths but tastes thinner. Start with cold milk, heat gently if your frother doesn't warm, and stop when the foam is soft — over-frothing makes big bubbles.
| Milk | Foam expectation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full cream | Easiest fine foam | Good everyday starting point |
| Low-fat | Froths, thinner taste | Use if you prefer lighter drinks |
| Oat (barista style) | Often foams better than regular oat | Brand varies; froth separately |
| Soy | Varies by brand | Try a small pour first |
Iced latte and flat white notes
Yes. Brew the shot as usual, pour it over ice, then add cold milk — frothed cold or straight from the fridge. For a thicker iced latte, blend the shot, milk and ice in a portable blender. Don't put ice inside the Heypresso tank.
A flat white uses the same shot with less foam and a smaller milk volume — treat that as a style choice. Juice Cup Ultra works for the iced method above.
Heypresso Coffee Stand: why it helps
A stand lifts the machine so the shot pours into a normal mug instead of only a small cup. The Heypresso Coffee Stand is RM59 (regular RM79) on hiblendr.com.my and is designed for Heypresso. It makes latte assembly easier at a desk because you brew and froth into the same cup.
How many lattes can Heypresso 2.0 make per charge?
Hiblendr states about 3–5 heated coffees per charge from the 7500mAh battery, or up to 50 if you fill the tank with already-hot water. Each latte needs one double shot, so plan on a handful of heated lattes per charge, or more if you pre-heat the water.
Frequently asked questions
Does Heypresso 2.0 froth milk?
No. It heats water and pulls espresso. Froth milk separately with a frother, jar or blender, then combine.
How much coffee and water for a latte shot?
Use the 16g double basket and fill the 80ml tank to the 30ml marker for a classic shot or 80ml for a longer coffee, per Hiblendr's markers. Then add milk to taste in your mug — often about 150–200ml milk for a regular latte.
Can I use Nespresso capsules for a latte?
Heypresso's FAQ says it works with Nespresso Original pods, Starbucks capsules, large coffee capsules and ground coffee. Use Original-size pods, not Vertuo, unless Hiblendr confirms otherwise.
Is oat milk OK in a portable espresso latte?
Yes. Barista-style oat usually foams better. Froth separately; don't pour oat milk into the Heypresso water tank or brew path.
How do I clean Heypresso after milk drinks?
Milk never goes through the machine — only the cup and frother touch milk. Use Heypresso's self-clean with water for the brew path; wash the cup, stand drip area and frother whisk with warm soapy water. Keep the motor body dry; don't call it dishwasher-safe or waterproof.
What warranty does Heypresso 2.0 have?
From hiblendr.com.my: one year plus an extra six months, with optional HeypressoCare+ from RM34.90. Local claims for authorised purchases. See also our warranty page.
