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!
