HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed and frothed milk. Frothing milk for cappuccino
takes practice. Do not be discouraged if it is not perfect the first time. The milk should be half
steamed (bottom of pitcher) and half froth (top of pitcher). It may take a few times before you
perfect this process.
For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher and pouring the
steamed milk into your coffee. The milk and pitcher should be cold. Do not use a pitcher,
which has just been washed in warm water. We also recommend a stainless steel frothing
pitcher and a beverage thermometer, if you own one, for preparing the best froth and steamed
milk.
PREPARATION:
Gather the following prior to brewing
1. Fine espresso ground coffe
2. Tap water (or, preferably your favorite bottled water)
3. Milk (2% is recommended for best frothing results)
4. Frothing pitcher
5. Teaspoon
6. Your favorite cups/demitasses
7. A kitchen thermometer (optional) placed into the frothing pitcher will help enhance your
tasting experience by optimizing the stremed milk temperature to 150°-155° F.
