1
Prepare the Espresso
Brew a single shot of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Pour the espresso into a pre-warmed coffee cup.
2
Steam the Milk
Pour 1 cup of milk into a steaming pitcher and heat using the steam wand of an espresso machine until the milk reaches about 150°F (65°C). Ensure to create a velvety microfoam by keeping the steam wand just below the surface of the milk.
3
Combine the Ingredients
Gently pour the steamed milk over the espresso, allowing the milk to flow in a circular motion. The ratio should be about 1 part espresso to 2 parts steamed milk.
4
Add Foamed Milk
Spoon the foamed milk on top of the steamed milk to create a creamy layer. This should be about 1 part foamed milk on top of the steamed milk.
5
Garnish
Dust the top of the cappuccino with cocoa powder or cinnamon, and add sugar if desired for sweetness.
