If you're a coffee lover there are few drinks that make you feel as cosy and warm as a cappuccino. Espressos and americanos are strong in coffee flavor, lattes are sweet and milky, yet cappuccinos provide an almost perfect balance of the two – combining coffee richness with a creamy texture.
- Cup
- Milk
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)
- Espresso machine: I used the Smeg Espresso Maker to make the cappuccinos in this guide but my favorite espresso machine is the Breville Infuser BES840X.
- Coffee beans: You can also use coffee grounds.
- Grinder: Opt for conical burr grinders for extra precision. Espresso machines like the De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo and Smeg Espresso Manual Coffee Machine. have built-in grinders, or you can buy standalone grinders like the Krups Precise Stainless Steel Flat Burr Grinder.
- Steam wand
- Milk frother: The steam wands on espresso machines froth milk or you can buy a standalone milk frother like the $16.99 Bean Envy Handheld Milk Frother.
