Cappuccino

Region: Italy 🇮🇹
Brewing Time: 3 minutes (for espresso)
Total Time: 5 minutes
Indulgence: ☕️☕️ (Medium)
The Story:
The cappuccino takes its name from the Capuchin friars, whose brown robes were thought to match the drink's color. This Italian classic is defined by its perfect, equal thirds: one-third espresso, one-third steamed milk, and one-third thick, airy milk foam. It's traditionally consumed only in the morning in Italy.

  • 1 shot of espresso
  • 2 oz whole milk

Equipment

  • Espresso machine (with steam wand)

Method
 

  1. Pull a single shot of espresso into a small (6 oz) cup.
  2. Steam the milk, focusing on introducing more air to create a voluminous, dry foam.
  3. Gently pour the steamed milk and foam into the espresso, aiming to get a distinct layer of foam on top.
  4. Pro Tip: The hallmark of a great cappuccino is a firm foam that will hold the weight of sprinkled cinnamon or cocoa powder without sinking.
