How You Can Make a Perfect Cappuccino

I am sure that you have fooled around on your home espresso machine before only to be disappointed by the results in your cappuccino creation. I am here today to give you some very easy tips that will set you on the way to a wonderful espresso brewing process with a flawless final product.

  • Make sure that your metal pitcher is completely chilled and filled with fresh milk.
  • Do not steam your milk any higher than 150° because the milk temperature itself will rise as it rests.
  • Steam your milk at a diagonal angle with the wand just below the surface of your milk for perfect foam.
  • After you have steamed your milk, place the pitcher back in the refrigerator to chill for 30 more seconds so that the foam will set.
  • Be sure to avoid any bubbles at all in your steamed milk.
  • You can then freshly brew your espresso into your cappuccino cup, and begin by pouring in the steamed milk and then spooning your microfoam on top.
  • For a drier cappuccino, you will use all foam.
  • For a wet cappuccino, you will use more steamed milk with a smaller amount of foam on top.

Wasn't that easy? Now all you have to do is enjoy!!
