Do you know that you can prepare an excellent cappuccino with foam even at home? Here are you 7 surefire methods!
The Cappuccino just like at the bar. Have you ever tried to do it at home?
The cappuccino: the right proportions
A perfect cappuccino consists of one third of milk, one third of coffee and one third of foam. The right quantities to prepare it? 125ml of whole milk, 25ml of coffee. Then sugar or cocoa for those who want them.
Cappuccino at home with a professional machine
Maybe some lucky ones will have a professional coffee machine that also makes steam for the cappuccino. In this case, simply choose one good milk, better if cold and whole, place it inside a metal container and then operate the steam nozzle to make the foam.
The secret is the slope of the metal container which must also be quite cold. The steam nozzle must not be positioned perpendicular to the metal container, but oblique. In practice you have to position it as if you were to tap the beer. In this way the heat will create a vortex inside the milk.
Then always remember to let the water out of the steam dispenser before mounting the milk otherwise the cappuccino will be watery. It is important that the lance is just below the surface of the milk.
Ideally the foam, when finished, should have a temperature ranging from 65 to 68 degrees.
If you want to do things precisely, equip yourself with a food thermometer.
