HOW TO MAKE

Classic Cappuccino

01
Prepare espresso shot and pour into mug once brewed.

We recommend brewing Starbucks^® Espresso Roast whole bean coffee by first grinding the beans to an extra fine grind size, followed by brewing via an espresso machine. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop moka pot to make espresso-like coffee. To learn more, read our stovetop moka pot guide.

You can also brew Starbucks^® Espresso Roast by Nespresso^® for authentic cafè-style espresso.
02
In a separate container, froth milk.

Don’t have a milk frother or aerator? Learn how to manually froth milk through our milk frothing guide.
03

Gently pour your frothed milk into your mug until it’s almost full.
04

Add any remaining foam to the top of your beverage and enjoy!

TIPS

The rich, creamy milk foam is what makes the cappuccino truly special. The more froth, the better–the key is to try and get a 50% milk, 50% froth balance in your final cup.
