INGREDIENTS

You need:

25 - 30 ml espresso
approx. 100 ml cold milk or plant-based milk alternative (barista edition)
Milk frother
A cappuccino cup or glass (at least 150 ml capacity)

This is how you prepare your perfect cappuccino:

STEP 1: PREHEAT CUP

Fill a 150ml cappuccino cup or glass with hot water to preheat it. This means the espresso stays hot longer and retains its aroma. In a cold cup, the espresso can quickly taste bitter.

STEP 2: PREPARE ESPRESSO

Prepare a classic espresso, ideally your coffee blend consists of Arabica and Robusta beans for an authentic taste.

STEP 3: FROTH THE MILK

Now froth the milk using a milk frother. If you have an espresso machine with a steam nozzle, you can also use this to froth the milk. Place the steam nozzle just below the surface of the milk and froth it until it reaches a temperature of around 60-65 degrees.

Make sure that the milk foam is firm, creamy and dense, but not too hot will.

STEP 4: POUR THE MILK INTO THE CAPPUCCINO CUP

Now pour the frothed milk foam into the cappuccino cup over the prepared espresso. Pour in the milk slowly so that you can still see an edge of espresso at the end.

STEP 5: THE PERFECT FINISH

The milk foam should be about 1 cm thick and have a creamy texture. Now your perfect cappuccino is finished and ready to enjoy!

CONCLUSION

Making the perfect cappuccino at home is a rewarding experience, achieved with high-quality coffee beans and carefully frothed milk. With our step-by-step instructions and recommended coffee types, you can easily enjoy your own creamy and aromatic cappuccino. Try it and let yourself be seduced by this classic drink!
