September 21, 2016 0 Comments

Creating your own cappuccino at home is great. You're free to add anything you want and experiment in any way. What differentiates a cappuccino from a latte is the milk. Cappuccinos contain more foam on top. Here's your step-by-step guide to creating the perfect cappuccino in the comfort of your own kitchen:

What You'll Need

A good espresso machine - We like the Rocket Giotto
A good coffee grinder - We like the Mazzer Super Jolly
Fresh coffee beans
Milk steaming pitcher
Milk (whole milk is best)

Step-by-Step Guide

Grind your coffee beans - the finer the better
Tamp - apply 30 pounds of pressure
Pour your espresso shots
Fill your milk steaming pitcher half way
Insert your steam wand just below the surface of the milk. Aerate for 10 seconds or until the desired amount of foam is produced
Submerge the steam wand further ands steam until 150 degrees is reached or you can't touch the pitcher anymore
Tap the pitcher to destroy any excess bubbles
Add your foamed milk to the center of the espresso.
Top with foam
Enjoy!
