What is a cappuccino, exactly?
A cappuccino coffee is an espresso drink with steamed milk, milk foam, and espresso. It’s very similar to a latte (cafe latte), but the proportion of steamed milk is different. A cappuccino has equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and foam (⅓ each). A cappuccino can easily be made with frothed milk using various tools: even a whisk!
First, you’ll need espresso!
You’ll need to make espresso for a cappuccino: simply strong coffee will not do! This means you’ll need the following:
Espresso roast coffee: The roast is essential to get the right dark, bitter flavour. Also, make sure to use a fine grind on the espresso when you make it.
Espresso machine, manual espresso maker, or Aeropress: There are several ways to make espresso: an espresso machine or you can use a small manual espresso maker: it’s cheaper and portable!
What’s the best milk to use for a cappuccino?
Use milk that’s as fresh as possible! Milk that’s nearing its expiration date does not foam as well.
The best milk for a cappuccino is Whole milk. Whole milk froths the best because it has the highest milk fat. You can also use 2% milk. It works fairly well, but you lose a bit of the richness.
