How to Make the Perfect Cappuccino
Cappuccino
Single Shot Cappuccino
Prepare the Espresso:
- Grind: Use about 7-9 grams of finely ground coffee beans.
- Tamp: Evenly distribute the coffee grounds in the portafilter and tamp down with firm pressure.
- Brew: Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and brew a single shot (about 30 ml) of espresso.
Froth the Milk:
- Steam: Pour about 100 ml of cold milk into a steaming pitcher.
- Froth: Use the steam wand of your espresso machine to froth the milk until you get a creamy, velvety texture with microfoam. Aim for a temperature of around 60-65°C (140-150°F).
Assemble the Cappuccino:
- Pour: Pour the single shot of espresso into a cup.
- Add Milk: Spoon the frothed milk over the espresso, ensuring you get a nice balance of milk and foam.
Double Shot Cappuccino
Prepare the Espresso:
- Grind: Use about 14-18 grams of finely ground coffee beans.
- Tamp: Evenly distribute the coffee grounds in the portafilter and tamp down with firm pressure.
- Brew: Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and brew a double shot (about 60 ml) of espresso.
Froth the Milk:
- Steam: Pour about 200 ml of cold milk into a steaming pitcher.
- Froth: Use the steam wand to froth the milk until you get a creamy texture with microfoam, aiming for 60-65°C (140-150°F).
Assemble the Cappuccino:
- Pour: Pour the double shot of espresso into a cup.
