Cappuccino is an Italian drink that stands out for the use of milk since 2/3 of the contents of the cup have their origin in this liquid. It is the correct vaporization and foaming of milk that gives the cappuccino a creamy texture that differentiates it from other variants. In addition, by its presentation, the cappuccino has a very recognizable foam crown that takes its name from the Capuchin monks.
The cappuccino will be served, at most, at 70 ° C, so we talk about a warm preparation. Thanks to this, it can be savoured immediately and the correct mixture of espresso with milk results in a coffee that does not need added sugar to be enjoyed.
The key to the success of a cappuccino is in the proportion of milk foam. If we imaginatively divide the cup into 4 sections, the milk foam will occupy the upper ½, the steamed milk will occupy ¼ and the espresso will take its place in the lower ¼.
