Caffeine is a reference value for this drink and brew method, not a measurement of your cup.
Cappuccino preparation
- Pull a double espresso into a 5-6oz cup.
- Steam 120ml of milk with more aeration than a latte for a deeper foam.
- Build roughly equal parts espresso, steamed milk and foam.
- Pour to leave a domed cap of foam on top.
The traditional cappuccino is a balanced third-third-third drink. The foam should be fine and integrated, never stiff and dry.
