1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew two shots of espresso. Ensure the coffee beans are freshly ground for optimal flavor.
2
Add Water
If desired, dilute the espresso shots with 60 ml of hot water to create an Americano-style base for the cappuccino.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until steaming, but do not boil.
4
Froth the Milk
Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and has a creamy texture with microfoam.

5
Combine Espresso and Milk
In a large coffee cup, pour the brewed espresso shots (and diluted water if used). Slowly add the frothed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon.
6
Add Foam and Toppings
Spoon the remaining milk foam on top of the cappuccino. Dust with cocoa powder and add sugar to taste.
