Steaming and Frothing for Cappuccinos

A cappuccino is made similarly to a latte in process, however the steamed milk and the froth are essentially separated and then added to the espresso at two separate times. Follow these simple instructions to cappuccino bliss:

Step 1

Fill your frothing pitcher with milk, but careful not to fill over half way as you will need room for expansion as you steam and froth.

Step 2

Place pitcher under steam wand and fully submerge steam wand tip. Turn on full power.

Step 3

Ensure the top of the wand now sits just under the milk’s surface. Do not completely remove the wand from the milk during the steaming process.

Taking a spoon to hold back the foam as you pour, slowly pour the steamed milk over your espresso.
