Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    Start by brewing a double shot of Illy Classico coffee. Use 18 grams of coffee grounds and 240 ml of water in your espresso machine. Brew until you have a rich, concentrated shot of espresso.

  2. 2

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 120 ml of milk over medium heat until it's steaming. Do not let it boil.

  3. 3

    Froth the Milk

    Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the heated milk until it has doubled in volume and is creamy with a velvety texture.

  4. 4

    Combine Coffee and Milk

    In a cappuccino cup, pour the double shot of espresso, followed by the steamed milk. Allow the frothy milk to settle on top.

  5. 5

    Add Sugar and Cocoa

    Stir in sugar to taste, and sprinkle cocoa powder on top of the frothed milk for an added touch of flavor and presentation.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious cappuccino!
