Method

Preparing the Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a pre-warmed cup or glass.

Steaming the Milk

  1. 2

    Steam the Milk

    Pour 1 cup of milk into a steaming pitcher and steam it using the steam wand of the espresso machine until it reaches about 150°F (65°C) and has a velvety microfoam texture.

Assembling the Cappuccino

  1. 3

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    Pour the steamed milk over the brewed espresso, holding back the foam initially. Once the milk is poured, spoon the foam on top to create a thick layer.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the foam. Add sugar to taste if desired.
