[Food]Cappuccino-The Making

This article is specially dedicated to a friend that requested it-JF.

2 main gadget that you need to prepare a cappuccino. The one on the left is French Coffee Press, price range is between RM50-RM100 for the size of 4C. 4C is the size to serve for 1-2 persons. On the right is the gadget that i used to make milk froth. It's from IKEA, cost me around RM10, it's indeed another reason why i love IKEA so much.

Actually, to made the milk froth, even bu using the French Coffee Press is already enough. The only problem is that will be a bit messy and not so effective.


With these 2 smart gadget, the ingredients that you need to make a quality home-made cappuccino will be the coffee ground, milk, sugar for flavors.

First, boil some water. Rinse your coffee cup and the French Coffee Press with the hot water. Then, scope 2 large spoon of ground coffee into your French Coffee Press, pour in the hot water until 2/3 full. Cover it with the press but leave it there without pressing down the presser. Let it settle for 10-15 minutes then only press the presser down. Settling time varies depend on how strong you want your coffee to be.

In the mean time, warm some milk. You may warm it by heating it with frying pan, or just pour some milk into a cup and microwaved it for 40 seconds max. Do not boil it. Fresh milk is recommended to be used here.

Then, you may use the cappuccino milk froth maker and start to froth the milk. The best way is to tilt you cup a little and move the froth maker from the bottom of the cup to the top. 15-20 seconds will already do the magic. Then, gently hit the bottom of your cup that filled with the milk forth to your counter top to break all the big bubbles that on the surface of the milk froth.

Next, it's time to pour out your freshly pressed coffee into a warm coffee cup, scope the milk froth or you may just pour it gently into your coffee. Voila!!!


For extra flavors, you may use a dried Cinnamon stick as the coffee stirrer, it will give you something unexpectedly soothing. Sugar may be added to the freshly pressed coffee if you are not a fans of sugarless coffee.
