How to make the perfect cappuccino with your Nespresso machine

Website design By BotEap.comWe often think that we can’t make an authentic Italian cappuccino at home. We have to go to a cafe or buy an expensive machine and take a barista course to make coffee. But did you know that you can make a great cappuccino at home with nothing but your Nespresso machine?

Website design By BotEap.comThe first step is to heat the milk. If you have a vaporizer at home, you can use it. Otherwise, just heat the milk in the microwave or on the stovetop and then blend in a blender or with a stand mixer until frothy. It should only take a minute. Stir and set aside.

Otherwise, your coffee will be cold even before you can take that first sip. Grab a Nespresso-compatible Italian capsule. We love Gimoka’s Intense Mix for our cappuccino. It’s sweet and strong in flavor, so you don’t have to add sugar or worry about the milk overwhelming your coffee.

By doing that, the coffee does not infuse properly and you end up with weak and unpleasant coffee. So once your Nespresso coffee machine has warmed up, grab your capsule and start brewing. As the coffee spills, tilt the glass slightly to make sure the coffee runs down the sides of the cup.
