In my last visit to Starbucks, I bought a bag of Medium roasted coffee beans, the "Indian estates blend". It gives a dark chocolaty flavor and a thin layer of crema after brewing it in the AeroPress.

On adding some warm shaken milk, it created a good-looking cup and most importantly a delicious one.

Note: I have often experienced that using hot milk won't make a great-tasting cup. The tasting notes can be most easily felt using warm milk.
