Espresso Base

Milk Foam

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Espresso

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Use a coffee grinder to finely grind 18 grams of fresh espresso coffee beans.

  2. 2

    Brew the Espresso

    Place the ground espresso in the portafilter, tamp it down firmly, and lock it into your espresso machine. Brew the espresso with 60 ml of hot water.

Frothing the Milk

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    Pour 150 ml of whole milk into a steaming pitcher and steam it using a steam wand until it reaches 65-70°C (149-158°F).

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

    While steaming, incorporate air into the milk by moving the steam wand just below the surface to create a velvety microfoam.

Assembling the Cappuccino

  1. 5

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Pour the brewed espresso into a cappuccino cup, then slowly add the frothed milk on top, allowing the foam to sit on the espresso.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle a teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the foam. Add sugar to taste if desired.
