1
Prep
Rinse a cup with hot water to warm it and pat dry. Gather an espresso machine, a milk pitcher, and a thermometer if available.
2
Pull two shots of espresso and pour immediately into the warmed cup.
3
Steam 60 ml of milk until it reaches about 65-70°C, aiming for a smooth, velvety texture with a light layer of microfoam.
4
Froth an additional 60 ml of milk to create a generous layer of foam (about 1-2 cm thick).
5
Pour the steamed milk into the cup with the espresso, tilting the cup slightly and letting the milk blend with the espresso.
6
Spoon the milk foam on top to form the cappuccino layer. If desired, dust a pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top and serve immediately.
