Espresso

Frothed Milk

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Espresso

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee

    Grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency using a coffee grinder.

  2. 2

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew the ground coffee with 90 ml of hot water. This should take about 25-30 seconds. The espresso should be rich and creamy.

Froth the Milk

  1. 3

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling.

  2. 4

    Froth the Milk

    Using a milk frother or a handheld whisk, froth the heated milk until it is light and airy, creating a creamy foam.

Assemble the Cappuccino

  1. 5

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Pour the brewed espresso into a coffee cup, then gently spoon the frothed milk on top of the espresso, creating a layered effect.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

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