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 important 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.
It is easy to prepare and for the best coffee taste, we recommend Alambé coffee, using ALAMBÉ KON TUM, ALAMBÉ LAM DONG or ALAMBÉ DAK LAK qualities.
How to make cappuccino?

- Slightly press the coffee inside the portafilter and insert it onto the machine.
- Let the water flow through. For an Espresso, stop when the running water turns clearer.
