How to make cappuccino in a coffee machine

Classic preparation

First, prepare a shot of espresso. It is better to use a coffee machine. You will need 40ml of the drink and in ideal conditions you will need a porcelain cup that retains heat for a long time. Then whisk the milk - it should be cold, so take it out of the refrigerator immediately before whisking.

If possible, use a cappuccino maker in your coffee machine. Dip its spout into a glass of milk, but not to the bottom, otherwise foam will not form. Whip the milk until thick foam forms. If you don't have a cappuccino maker, use a mixer or blender.

Choose a glass in which coffee takes up about 1/3 of the volume, and pour milk foam on top in a thin stream. If the dishes are transparent, you should end up with two clearly separated layers - this looks very attractive. If the cup is opaque, you can mix coffee with foam - you get the so-called melange. In both cases, part of the foam should be placed on top with a spoon.

Chocolate-vanilla cappuccino

Components:

• purified water – 130 ml
• ground natural coffee – 2 tsp.
• cream – 200 ml
• powdered sugar
• vanilla - on the tip of a knife
• grated chocolate - to taste

Grind the coffee and put it in a pot, add water and bring to a boil several times. Heat the cream a little and beat with a mixer or whisk until thick foam. Pour coffee into a cup and place creamy foam on top. Sprinkle the foam, only carefully, with powdered sugar, vanilla and grated chocolate.

Vanilla cappuccino is the best way to calm down and relieve stress after a hard day at work. This drink also brings mental comfort and relaxation. By preparing cappuccino with this aromatic spice, you can increase your productivity, and at the same time it acts as a remedy for drowsiness.

Vanilla cappuccino

To prepare a vanilla drink, you need to do the following:

1. We brew espresso in the same way. If you are using a coffee pot rather than a coffee machine, it is better to strain the drink.
2. Add sugar to taste.
3. Bring the heavy cream to a boil - you will need about 130-150 ml. We also add a little vanilla to them. Heat the cream very hot, but do not boil - this is important!
4. Whip the hot cream until thick foam with a mixer or cappuccino maker.
5. Spread foam on coffee.

Vanilla cappuccino with cinnamon

The ingredients for it are quite simple:

• 150 milliliters of water,
• 2 teaspoons ground coffee beans,
• 200 milliliters of milk,
• vanilla on the tip of a teaspoon,
• 2 cubes refined sugar,
• Ground cinnamon.

First you need to prepare a cup of coffee. Pour ground coffee beans into a pot, add water, cook until foam rises and remove from heat. Repeat 2-3 times. Beat the milk preheated to 70 degrees until it reaches a stable foam; this can be done using a French press.

While whipping, add vanilla to the milk. Then pour coffee into a cup, put refined sugar in it, carefully lay out the milk mixture and sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Chocolate

This recipe is more complicated and takes more time, but the result is a unique drink:

1. First, we prepare traditional hot chocolate: pour 60 ml of milk into a Turk, heat it up strongly, but do not boil. Pour in 50-60 g of crushed chocolate and melt it. Hot chocolate is ready.
2. Whip 30% heavy cream until thick foam. It will take about 70-80 ml.
3. We brew rich coffee in a coffee machine or Turk.
4. Prepare a cup or tall transparent glass. Pour coffee into the bottom, and then slowly pour hot chocolate over a spoon or knife blade. It is important to prevent it from sinking to the bottom.
5. Spread a stiff foam of cream on top, and sprinkle cinnamon on top.

If you like the creamy taste of coffee, the following recipe is for you.

To prepare vanilla cappuccino with cream we will need:

• 2 teaspoons ground coffee beans,
• yolk of one chicken egg,
• 2 teaspoons powdered sugar,
• 2 teaspoons sugar (vanilla),
• 2 tablespoons cream.

We brew coffee in the usual way for you. Beat the yolk with the addition of sugar; during this process, gradually add vanilla sugar and chilled cream. It is necessary to beat until a stable, homogeneous foam is formed.

Pour coffee into a cup and place creamy egg foam on top. To keep the coffee at its temperature longer, you can preheat the cup or pour boiling water over it.

Instant coffee cappuccino

If you don’t have natural coffee, a coffee machine, or even a Turk, you can use a regular instant drink to make cappuccino. Of course, it is not so refined, but it is also quite tasty. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

1. Heat 120-150 ml of milk until almost boiling.
2. Pour it into a jar with a tightly screwed lid (it is advisable that the milk fills it no more than half).
3. Close the lid, wrap it in a towel and vigorously shake the jar so that the milk froths.
4. Then brew instant coffee - about 60-70 ml. If necessary, add sugar immediately. The drink should fill the glass 1/3 full.
5. Pour in the whipped milk, and spoon out the foam that has lingered on the walls of the jar on top.

This is how you can prepare a delicious cappuccino in a few minutes from ingredients that are found in every home, and without a coffee machine.

By watching the video below, you will learn how to make cappuccino coffee at home without professional equipment.

Culinary recommendations

• If you don't have a French press, an immersion blender and an electric mixer are good alternatives.
• When milk is whipped, it increases in volume several times, so I do not recommend taking too much of this product.
• The milk must be whipped until half of the total volume turns into foam. It is best to transfer the resulting mass with a spoon onto the brewed coffee liquid, so when consumed you can feel the richness of this drink.

• Coffee experts use a mixture of milk and cream in equal proportions to create the fluffiest, richest cappuccino.
• In order for the drink to acquire an amazing taste and an unforgettable fresh aroma, I advise you to grind the coffee beans before preparing the drink, rather than using ready-made ground coffee.
• You should not make cappuccino from instant coffee, as you will not feel the original taste of the drink.
• Many people believe that sugar spoils the taste of cappuccino. However, in my opinion, nothing seditious will happen if you add it. It is best to use caramelized or cane sugar.
• The slower you pour milk into brewed coffee, the greater the likelihood of making a real cappuccino.
• You can decorate the drink by sprinkling it with a mixture of powdered sugar and cinnamon, previously sifted through a fine sieve.

Delicious cappuccino recipes

First of all, I’ll clarify how to make cappuccino according to the standard recipe. You just need to mix coffee with milk foam in a 1:1 ratio. But there is no need to add regular milk to the drink.

There are also many options for making cappuccino with various syrups, noble spirits (for example, cognac), cinnamon, nuts and other seasonings.

The first steps in preparing any original coffee drinks will be the same:

1. Brew strong coffee in a cezve (2 spoons for about 120 ml of water).
2. When the drink is ready, make foam from milk or cream using any of the methods described above.

If you want to learn how to make foamy coffee at home easily and quickly, you will need not only methods for frothing milk and interesting recipes, but also tricks that will make the drink no less tasty than in a coffee shop.

Rules

, which should guide you when preparing cappuccino at home:

1. It is important to use ground coffee
   . Instant can spoil the taste of the drink, and you will not fully enjoy the taste of cappuccino. If you like very strong and bitter coffee, pay attention to Robusta. If you prefer sourness, take Arabica.

1. Ingredient ratio.
   You can make a latte at home without a coffee machine using the same three methods that I described above. But in addition to foam, the recipe also contains milk. Hot milk is poured into about 1/3 of a glass, coffee is introduced into it in a thin stream, and the drink is topped with whipped foam (all ingredients are taken in a 1:1:1 ratio).
2. Milk.
   Many have already wondered what is the best milk for cappuccino? I do not recommend using powdered milk, as it may not froth. The best option is milk with a fat content of 2-4%.

Cooking Instructions

Let's look at how to make cappuccino in a coffee machine with a manual cappuccino maker. To make coffee yourself, follow the following algorithm:

1. First, you need to prepare classic coffee (espresso) in a heated cup.
2. Warm up the device for 30-40 minutes, after releasing steam from the steam wand.
3. Pour the required amount of milk into a special metal container (jug) (just below 1 cm from the bottom of the spout). Don't forget that milk expands as it is churned.
4. Immerse the tip of the cappuccino maker in milk to the bottom, turn on the steam and slowly lift it up until foam forms. Properly whipped foam has a sweet, creamy taste.
5. Carefully pour the milk foam into the espresso.
6. Release the steam and wipe the tip with a damp cloth.

To prepare cappuccino coffee in a coffee machine, use cold whole milk with a fat content of about 4%, which allows you to get a thick foam.

How to drink cappuccino correctly

The drink serving temperature varies between 60–70 degrees. At the same time, the natural sweetness is preserved, so there is no need to add sugar.

Cappuccino is poured into thick-walled porcelain cups. They are heated to preserve the foam longer.

There are no specific rules regarding the consumption of cappuccino. For example, Italians believe that it tastes much better if the foam remains on the lips. Initially, a pleasant milky taste is felt, and only after that - coffee bitterness.

Many people add sugar to the composition and mix the drink. Naturally, it is not possible to preserve the foam. But you can fully enjoy the delicate milky taste.
