1
Prepare Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Fill the portafilter with finely ground coffee, tamp it down firmly, and lock it into the machine. Start the brewing process and collect the espresso in a cup.
2
Heat Water
In a small pot, heat 60 ml of water until it is just below boiling. This will be used to dilute the espresso if desired.

3
Heat Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 150 ml of whole milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling.
4
Froth Milk
Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the heated milk until it doubles in volume and forms a thick foam. If you like your cappuccino sweet, add 1 tsp of sugar while frothing.
5
Add Cinnamon
If desired, sprinkle 0.5 tsp of cinnamon into the frothed milk and gently mix.

6
Combine Ingredients
In a large cup, pour the freshly brewed espresso. If using, dilute with the heated water to taste.
7
Add Milk Foam
Spoon or pour the frothed milk over the espresso, ensuring to include a thick layer of foam on top.
8
Garnish
Sprinkle 1 tsp of cocoa powder on top of the foam for garnish. If desired, add chocolate shavings.
