ml
Cold whole milk
Instructions
Pour hot water into the cappuccino mug to preheat the cup.
Put 18 grams of ground coffee into the portafilter.
Empty your preheated mug and pull a shot of espresso.
Steam the milk in the pitcher, keeping the steam wand right at the milk's surface.
Move the pitcher up and down, and around the wand to froth the milk until the volume is doubled.
Tap the milk on top of the counter to remove the bubbles.
Pour the foamy milk on top of your espresso shot.
Sprinkle some cocoa powder or cinnamon if it suits your taste.
Serve and enjoy your cappuccino.

Notes
Remember that if you don't have an espresso machine, you can still make espresso-style coffee using other methods, and milk froth as well.
