Grind ⅓cup of espresso beans into a very fine powder. Weigh 12g of the coffee powder
Fill an espresso portafilter with the ground coffee
Press straight down with a tamper to evenly distribute the coffee, flattening out the surface
Pull a shot to clean the espresso machine. Take the portafilter to the machine and pull a shot of espresso of 23-30s into a medium coffee cup. If your machine has a pressure setting, set it to 9
Add 140ml of cold milk to a steaming pitcher. Release the steam out of the pitcher to avoid adding water to the milk
Steam the milk by placing the tip of the steam wand just below the surface, in the top right corner. Spin until it reaches 60°C or until the jar is too hot to touch
Pour the milk into the coffee, being careful to preserve the foam. Make a few cappuccinos to learn the patterns. The cappuccino is ready
Enjoy!
