There are dozens of takes on the cappuccino, but before you try to get too fancy, it is important to master the basics. Cappuccino makers, like all appliances, each have their own traits and quirks, so it is important to get familiar with your machine. Here is a basic cappuccino recipe to help get you started:

~As a starting point, you will want three equal parts of espresso, steamed milk and frothed milk.

~Once the milk is freshly frothed, let it sit so that the foam separates from the rest of the milk.

~Pour the steamed milk in the bottom of your cup, and then slowly add the espresso on top.

~Finish by topping with the frothed milk.
