Let's learn how to make a cappuccino!

We'll need a cappuccino Cup – the bigger of the Two basic types.

Grab it off the top of the Espresso machine, where It should be stored so it Will stay warm

Now, make a single shot Of espresso in the Cappuccino cup. If you need Help, see the “How to make Espresso” Slide Show!

For a cappuccino, we'll need to foam some milk

Press down this lever to turn on the steamer. You Should turn it on for a Couple seconds to warm it Up before you do anything else

Let it warm up

Now take a milk jug

And fill the jug to at least 1/3 capacity, and probably Not more than ½ capacity

Next, put the steamer into the Middle of the milk, just under the surface

Turn on the steamer

Hover the tip of the steamer just below the surface of the milk. There should Be a distinctive Squeaky Slurp sound.Keep your hand on the bottom to feel the temperature.

When it gets almost too hot to touch,Lower the tip of the Steamer deep into The middle of the Milk for a couple More seconds, then Turn it off.

Pull the milk out and put it down to the side

Grab your clean, fully moist washcloth

Use it to clean off the steamer

Remove a little excess foam and put it in a glass

You can use a spoon, or just pour it out if you feel comfortable

Swirl the milk around and check for bubbles.It should appear smooth as it does above.If not, tap the milk pitcher against the countertop a few times.

Now, pour.  You can use a spoon to hold back thick foam, or simply alter the speed and height of your pouring.

If you don't use a spoon, start with the milk pitcher a little higher up.

A cappuccino should have 1/3 Espresso, 1/3 Steamed milk, and 1/3 milk foam. First, add the milk.

As you get to around 2/3 full, use The spoon to push foam into the cup

Keep pushing foam, so the Foam builds up in the cup

When the cup is full, spoon Some foam onto the top

Pile the foam above the top of the cup.

You're ready to serve!

First, if you give it one firm tap you should be able To knock the used grounds Into the trash

Then, rinse the portafilter With hot water from the machine

You can dump the remaining Waste into the bottom Of the espresso machine

Once everything's clean You're ready to make the Next drink!
