1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Make sure to use freshly ground coffee for the best flavor.
2
Add Water
Once the espresso is brewed, mix it with 60ml of hot water to create an Americano-style base if you prefer a lighter taste.

3
Heat the Milk
In a saucepan or microwave, heat 150ml of milk until it's warm but not boiling.
4
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother, froth the heated milk until it has a creamy texture and forms a nice layer of foam on top.

5
Combine Ingredients
Pour the brewed espresso (and water, if using) into a coffee cup. Next, pour the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon.
6
Add Foam
Spoon the remaining frothy milk foam on top of the cappuccino.
7
Garnish
Sprinkle a teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the foam and add sugar to taste.
