How to Make a Cappuccino in 3 Easy Steps!
Consider this the first in a series on how to make a cappuccino. This article will go over how to make cappuccino like the baristas at Starbucks and other coffee shops…
Before we get into the three simple steps to make a cappuccino, do you know what a cappuccino is? The key to comprehending this would be to learn how to make it. Knowing how to make a cappuccino allows you to visualize the procedures later.
Cappuccino is an espresso with two types of heated milk: steamed milk and frothed milk. And, it is the frothed milk that gives cappuccino its classic appearance, as well as the “so difficult” frothing that has led world coffee bodies to use the froth to evaluate barista skills.
Cappuccino is made with 1/3 espresso, 1/3 heated milk, and 1/3 frothed milk. We would not discuss espresso in this article because it deserves its own article on how to make a good espresso; instead, we would focus on the other two components, steamed and frothed milk, to help you learn how to make a cappuccino.
When the heat source (usually the steam wand) is injected into the milk at a temperature slightly below boiling, you get steamed milk. Because the injection of hot air is kept to a minimum, the milk volume would not change except for a small number of microbubbles or froth.
To get more bubbles, i.e. frothed milk, place the steam wand at the surface of the milk, which will create more microbubbles. Remove the steam wand when the froth has the appearance and feel of whipped cream.
Let’s take a look at how to make a cappuccino in three easy steps:
#01 Step
While waiting for the espresso to brew, steam and froth the milk in a frothing pitcher using an espresso machine. After that, set it aside for about 30 seconds.
This is done to allow the densities of the milk to separate. To expedite the process, do what Starbucks or most coffee shops’ baristas do: knock the frothing pitcher on the table, which separates the steam from the frothed milk to make a cappuccino.
#02 Step
Next, use a large spoon to keep the milk foam in place while pouring out the steamed milk. Pour the steam milk into a mug slowly to avoid breaking the froth, and stop when you reach 1/3 of the way up the mug to make a cappuccino.
#03 Step
Pour the espresso down the center of this foamy sculpture for the last third of the mug. And voila, a foamy cappuccino!
Isn’t it that simple? There’s no need to ask Starbucks baristas how to make cappuccino anymore, right? You can do it in 3 easy steps! 🙂
