How to make a cappuccino at home, according to baristas (turns out the cocoa is key)

A cappuccino with coffee and chocolate art on top on a white saucer on a wooden table.

The infamous cappuccino, drunk exclusively before 11am in Italy is a café favorite. If you’re wondering how you make one at home (as well as why they’re a pre-11am exclusive) you’re in the right place. As a former barista, I'm more than familiar with all the cappuccino components.

These famously delicious drinks are best made in an espresso machine. If you already own one of these, all you need to know is how to make espressos and how to steam milk at home. Once you've perfected these, you'll be able to make so much more than cappuccinos. When guests demand it, you can whip up lattes, flat whites, and Americanos in no time.
