For the perfect cappuccino, we recommend a special blend of Arabica and Robusta beans. This ensures a good balance between taste and crema, ideal for a creamy and aromatic cappuccino. Try our espresso capsules for maximum enjoyment with every cup of cappuccino!
INGREDIENTS
You need:
- 25 - 30 ml espresso
- approx. 100 ml cold milk or plant-based milk alternative (Barista Edition)
- milk frother
- A cappuccino cup or glass (at least 150 ml capacity)
How to prepare your perfect cappuccino:
STEP 1: PREHEAT CUP
Fill a 150ml cappuccino cup or glass with hot water to preheat it. This will keep the espresso hot longer and retain its flavor. In a cold cup, the espresso can quickly taste bitter.
STEP 2: PREPARE ESPRESSO
Prepare a classic espresso, ideally your coffee blend consists of Arabica and Robusta beans for an authentic taste.
STEP 3: FROTH THE MILK
Now froth the milk using a milk frother. If you have an espresso machine with a steam nozzle, you can also froth the milk with this. Place the steam nozzle just below the surface of the milk and froth it until it has reached a temperature of around 60-65 degrees.
Make sure that the milk foam is firm, creamy and dense, but not too hot.
STEP 4: POUR THE MILK INTO THE CAPPUCCINO CUP
Now pour the frothed milk foam into the cappuccino cup over the prepared espresso. Pour the milk in slowly so that a rim of espresso is still visible at the end.
STEP 5: THE PERFECT FINISH
The milk foam should be about 1 cm thick and have a creamy texture. Now your perfect cappuccino is ready to enjoy!
CONCLUSION
Making a perfect cappuccino at home is a rewarding experience that can be achieved with high-quality coffee beans and carefully frothed milk. With our step-by-step instructions and recommended coffees, you can easily enjoy your own creamy and aromatic cappuccino. Try it and let yourself be seduced by this classic drink!
