How to Make Cappuccino

  1. Brew 2 shots (approx. 60ml) of espresso using an espresso machine or Moka pot.
  2. Heat 1 cup (240ml) of milk in a small saucepan over medium heat or use a milk frother to steam the milk until it's hot and frothy. Create a thick layer of microfoam for the best crema.
  3. Divide the brewed espresso equally into two mugs.
  4. Pour the steamed milk into each mug, leaving some of the thickest foam for the top.
  5. Spoon the reserved foam onto the top of each cappuccino.
  6. Sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon and/or freshly grated nutmeg (optional).
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade barista-style cappuccino!
