We recommend frothing the milk first. If your Nespresso machine has a built-in frothing wand, use that. Otherwise, use a standalone frother or froth the milk by hand with a whisk. Be careful not to overheat the milk. The ideal frothing temperature for milk is between 155°F and 165°
Brew your espresso using your Nespresso machine.
With your espresso already in the mug, slowly pour the frothed milk over the top. This is where you can create fancy latte art if you're so inclined. A leaf is the classic beginner's design if you're not sure where to start.
If you're feeling fancy or want to impress a guest, sprinkle some ground cocoa over the top. Be careful not to overdo it! Traditionalists will cringe, but we like a little extra kick in our cappuccino. Too much cocoa, and you'll have a mocha on your hands.
Serve and enjoy!
