How to make Cappuccino
Cappuccino is espresso topped with steamed and frothed milk. Frothing milk for
cappuccino takes practice. Do not discouraged if it is not perfect the first time.
it may take a few times before you perfect this process.
For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher and
pouring the milk into your coffee. the milk and pitcher should be cold. Do not
use a pitcher which has just been washed in warm water.
