Cappuccino (from Italian cappuccino - capuchin) is a coffee drink of Italian cuisine based on espresso with the addition of milk and milk foam. An important component of a cappuccino is the properly frothed milk that is poured into the espresso. To make the foam ideal, the temperature of the milk we take for whipping should be 4°C. It is better to take pasteurized rather than homemade milk, 2.5-3.5% fat. Cappuccino coffee consists of 1/3 espresso, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 milk foam. A standard serving of cappuccino is five to seven ounces, or 150-180 milliliters. To prepare cappuccino, frothed milk is poured into espresso. The milk foam on top of the drink acts as an insulator and helps keep the temperature high longer. In order for the foam to be correct, the temperature of the milk used for whipping must be 4°C.
