First, for anyone who hasn’t yet experienced the steamy warmth of a cappuccino, let me explain what a basic cappuccino is. Cappuccino is simply espresso sandwiched between a layer of steamed milk and a layer of frothed milk. The type and quality of the beans used, will affect the final product.
Having an espresso machine with a frothing adapter is ideal, but not a requirement, in all of the cappuccino recipes we have compiled.
We will begin with a basic cappuccino and then follow with more creative and decadent cappuccinos.

- Finally, spoon frothed milk on top of espresso.
