METHOD

Step 1

Brew a single shot of espresso using an espresso machine or your preferred brewing method.

Step 2

While the espresso is brewing, pour milk into a steaming jug. You’ll need approximately 1/4 cup of milk per shot of espresso.

Step 3

Use the steam wand on your espresso machine to steam the milk. Aim for equal parts steamed milk and milk foam to achieve a classic cappuccino texture.

Step 4

Pour the steamed milk over the freshly brewed espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon until the cup is almost full.

Step 5

Gently spoon the froth on top to fill the cup, creating a rich layer of milk foam.

Step 6

For an extra touch, sprinkle a light dusting of cocoa powder over the foam.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade classic cappuccino!
