Start by grinding fresh, high-quality coffee beans to a fine consistency. Next, heat your milk to about 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit, or until small bubbles form around the edge of the pan.

Using a quality espresso machine, pull a shot of espresso, ensuring that it is at the right temperature, around 200°F and poured over 1/3 of the cup.

Then, using a steam wand, froth the milk to a velvety consistency, and pour it over the shot of espresso, creating a beautiful layer of foam on top.

You can garnish with cocoa powder or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.

Remember to use the right proportion of ingredients, typically 1/3 of espresso, 1/3 of steamed milk and 1/3 of foam. That way you will have a balanced cup that combine the acidity of espresso with the sweetness of steamed milk and the creaminess of foam.

Enjoy your cappuccino!
