What is a cappuccino?

A cappuccino is an Italian coffee drink that is usually prepared with a double-shot of espresso, hot milk, and steamed milk foam. Variations of the drink involve the use of flavorings like cinnamon or chocolate powder.

The way a cappuccino is typically made today is with a double shot of espresso. The second most important factor in preparing a cappuccino is the texture and temperature of the milk. When a barista steams the milk for a cappuccino, microfoam is created by introducing very tiny air bubbles into the milk, giving the milk a velvety texture.

How to make a cappuccino with a Nespresso machine?

Making a cappuccino with your Nespresso Machine is a simple process that can be done in five easy steps. Essentially, it involves choosing an espresso coffee capsule, making your espresso, frothing the milk, combining the milk with your espresso, and finally, flavoring it with cinnamon or chocolate powder.

Master the art of cappuccino with this step-by-step guide on how to make a delicious cappuccino with your Nespresso machine. Check out the video below and follow these five simple steps:

Ingredients 

• 1-2 espresso coffee capsules of your choice
• 1/3 cup of cold milk
• Cocoa powder

You will need

• Cappuccino cup
• Aeroccino milk frother or your Nespresso machine's steam nozzle, or the Lattissima Plus machine

Preparation

• First, froth the milk using the steam nozzle of your Nespresso machine, or the Aeroccino milk frother, and warm it up until it becomes a velvety froth
• Choose an espresso coffee capsule (our Gourmesso preference goes to Etiopia Blend Forte)
• Brew your chosen espresso coffee capsule (1 35 oz/40 ml) into the Cappuccino cup
• Next, fill the cup with the prepared frothed milk
• Sprinkle with cocoa
• The result is a cappuccino as gorgeous as it is delicious
• Or as an alternative you can prepare a cappuccino with one touch using the Lattissima Plus machine

Which compatible blend is the best for making a cappuccino?

We typically recommend our darker, more intensely roasted blends for Cappuccinos or any drinks with milk. The more robust flavors retain their unique qualities despite the addition of milk and sugar.

• The Midnite Monkey is our second strongest and darkest roast espresso, with an intensity of 11. You can trace the origin of this classic drink back to Austrians living in Italy who wanted to enjoy their traditional Capuchins, which makes it the perfect base to prepare your next cappuccino at home. Also our favourite for cappuccinos.

 Which other compatible blends we recommend?

• The Late Nite Lemur is our strongest and darkest roast espresso, with an intensity of 12.
• The Decaf Vanilla is a mild yet bold espresso, with an intensity of 3. It’s the perfect choice if you prefer decaf since it works well in milk-based drinks.
• The Lungo Latino Mezzo has an intensity level of 7 and provides a subtle, fruity aroma. If you want a blonder roast, this blend isn't as dark but still holds up with milk well.

We also suggest that you experiment with your machine and favorite capsules to determine which blends and proportions suit your tastes the best!
