For anyone who loves coffee, the day doesn’t quite start for them unless they’ve had their morning cuppa. While I’m not a huge fan of cappuccino, I can’t do without my strong cup of cold coffee either. And while coffee aficionados may scoff at the mention of cold coffee, but that’s the thing about coffee. Every coffee lover has their own set of preferences as to how they like it. Even with classic cappuccinos, some like it extra strong, some like more milk. Let’s not even get into the types of coffees there are – without milk, with whipped cream, espresso and what not. Why else do you think there’s a special day dedicated to the refreshing drink? That's right, International Coffee Day is celebrated on October 1 since 2015 to promote and celebrate coffee as a beverage. Isn’t it great?
And while we all can celebrate it by brewing our favourite cuppa, we are here to help you make that perfect cappuccino, that perhaps is the choice of many across the world. Which is perhaps the reason why a hot cup of cappuccino and a buttery croissant is a typical breakfast in Italy, a place where cappuccino means 'little cap’ aptly describing the head of foamed milk on top of the drink’s espresso base. It is typically lesser in volume than a caffè latte, and has a thicker layer of micro foam. It is known to be richest of all coffee types and hence uses cream instead of milk as the primary ingredient along with double espresso and steamed milk foam. Several other varieties of recipes also involve flavouring with cinnamon or chocolate powder.
If you too are planning to make thick and frothy cappuccino at home, we’ve got you sorted with a perfect recipe along with tips and tricks.
