Coffee Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a cup. Make sure the espresso is rich and aromatic.

  2. 2

    If desired, add 60 ml of hot water to the brewed espresso to create an Americano base. This step is optional and based on preference.

Milk Frothing

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 200 ml of milk over medium heat until it is steaming, but do not let it boil.

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

    Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the heated milk until it is creamy and has a light foam on top.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the frothed milk over the brewed espresso in the cup, ensuring the foam sits on top.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder over the foam. If you like your cappuccino sweet, add sugar to taste.
