Cappuccino
To make a cappuccino you need 3 minutes, 18 g of finely ground FREDDO Espresso and 120 ml of milk. First pull a double espresso into a warmed cup so it does not cool down at once. Rinse the cup with hot water or keep it on top of the machine. Then steam the milk to about 60 °C into a fine foam. Hold the tip of the steam wand just below the surface until the milk gains volume, then lower it deeper so you get a smooth, glossy foam without large bubbles. When the jug is so hot that you can barely hold it, the temperature is right. Tap the jug on the counter, swirl the milk and pour the foam into the espresso. Without a steam wand, an electric milk frother works too. If you like sugar, add it straight to the espresso before the milk goes in.

Tips and variations
Cappuccino or latte macchiato?
Our cappuccino has a double espresso from 18 g on 120 ml of milk and is served in a cup. The latte macchiato has an espresso from 9 g on 200 ml of milk and is served in a tall glass, in layers. That is why the cappuccino tastes much more strongly of coffee.
Cappuccino or flat white?
A flat white has a double espresso and milk with fine, flat microfoam, without the tall foam cap of a cappuccino. It has more coffee in relation to milk than a caffè latte and usually comes in a 175 to 200 ml cup; both Australia and New Zealand claim to have invented it. Source: Wikipedia
How many calories are in a cappuccino?
A cappuccino made with our recipe, a double espresso with 120 ml of whole milk, has about 80 kcal without sugar. Almost all of it comes from the milk: according to the USDA, whole milk has 61 kcal per 100 g and espresso only 9. Low-fat milk gives fewer, and every spoon of sugar adds more.

Which milk is best for frothing?
Fresh whole milk froths creamiest, while low-fat milk gives more but drier foam. Take it cold from the fridge and froth it to about 60 °C; any hotter and the foam turns coarse and the milk tastes cooked.
How do I make a cappuccino without an espresso machine?
With a moka pot and a milk frother. Brew strong coffee in the pot, pour it into a warmed cup and add milk that you have frothed to about 60 °C.
