1
Brew the espresso
Preheat a small cappuccino cup. Grind coffee and pull approximately 60 ml of espresso (a double shot) directly into the preheated cup.
2
Steam the milk
Steam 60 ml of whole milk to about 65-70°C (149-158°F) to create a velvety microfoam. Reserve approximately 60 ml of the microfoam for topping.
3
Combine the milk with espresso
Pour the 60 ml of steamed milk into the cup with the espresso, tilting the cup slightly to help blend while keeping a slight layered texture.
4
Top with foam and finish
Spoon the 60 ml of milk foam on top to form the classic cappuccino foam layer. Optional: lightly dust with cocoa powder or cinnamon before serving.
