Method
Brewing Coffee
- 1
Step 1: Brew the Coffee
Start by boiling the water in a kettle. Once boiling, let it cool for about 30 seconds to reach an ideal brewing temperature (around 90-95°C). Place the freshly ground coffee in a coffee filter or French press, and pour the hot water over the coffee grounds. Let it steep for about 4 minutes before pressing or filtering the coffee.
Preparing the Milk

Step 2: Froth the Milk
While the coffee is brewing, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Do not let it boil. Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it doubles in volume and has a velvety texture. If you prefer a creamier cappuccino, you can steam the milk using a steam wand if you have an espresso machine.

Step 3: Combine Coffee and Milk
Once the coffee is brewed, pour it into a coffee cup. Slowly add the frothed milk on top of the coffee, using a spoon to hold back the foam if desired, or simply pour it all in for a frothy finish.
