Cappuccino Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Coffee
Begin by brewing the coffee. Use 18 grams of freshly ground coffee for a rich flavor. Place the coffee grounds in the coffee machine or espresso maker.
- 2
Brew the Coffee
Pour 240 ml of water into your coffee maker or espresso machine. Start the brewing process, ensuring that your coffee is extracted properly, which should take about 25-30 seconds.

Froth the Milk
While the coffee is brewing, heat 120 ml of milk. You can use a frothing machine, a steam wand, or a microwave. If using a microwave, heat the milk until it is warm but not boiling (about 60-70°C or 140-160°F).

Froth the Milk (continued)
If you have a frothing machine or steam wand, froth the milk until it becomes creamy and has a velvety texture with microfoam. If frothing by hand, use a whisk to vigorously whisk the milk until it becomes frothy.

Combine Coffee and Milk
Once the coffee is brewed, pour it into your cup. Slowly add the frothed milk on top, aiming to create a nice layer of foam.
