What is a Cappuccino?

Originating in Italy, the name Cappuccino comes from the color of the drink that resembles the robes worn by the Capuchin monks. The term was also an italian word for 'hood'. While global variations abound, the authentic Cappuccino recipe relies on two essential ingredients: rich espresso and velvety steamed milk. Whether topped with a dusting of cinnamon or chocolate, the foundation of this popular drink remains a timeless classic for coffee lovers worldwide. The quality of milk and the steaming technique used are vital to the coffee experience. To ensure the finest ingredients complement one another, precision is key. For example, while a Cappuccino balances foam and espresso, a Latte Macchiato features a layered composition of mostly steamed milk marked by a shot of espresso.

Which Coffee Machines Make Cappuccino

All of De'Longhi coffee machines make a great Cappuccino: being the leading manufacturer of coffee makers worldwide, De'Longhi has pioneered various milk frothing technologies such as the automatic frothing LatteCrema and Auto LatteArt, as well as the manual milk frothing option My LatteArt, available on the La Specialista range. The manual steam wand requires a manual approach but with a few simple tricks you can get a great cappuccino with a rich satisfying foam.

How to Choose a Cappuccino Machine?

The choice of cappuccino machine can depend on what kind of milk frothing system is desired, manual, or automatic. With the LatteCrema Hot and LatteCrema Cool technology, embedded in all our premium fully automatic coffee machines, the perfect milk frothing is obtained at the touch of a button, allowing you to make not only perfect Cappuccinos but a wide range of other hot and cold beverages. For the true coffee connoisseurs, our manual espresso machines, such as the Dedica range or the La Specialista models, allow you to make it by hand for a real coffee shop experience.

How to Make a Perfect Foam for a Cappuccino?

It can take some time master the skill of traditional milk frothing with a steam wand, such as with the My LatteArt manual frothing system, but with a few attempts and some tips you can get your Cappuccinos to be perfect in no time. First, always remember that the milk must be right-out-of-the-fridge cold before starting. Warm milk will not work. With this in mind, add milk into the milk jug before submerging the steam wand. Rotate the steam wand valve to let the steam come out. Then, rotate the milk jug with slow movements in an upward direction and keep going until the milk turns frothier. Be careful not to froth for too long as the temperature might rise too much. As a general rule, 140-149F/60-65 C is the best temperature range for frothing hot milk, with a preference for lower 130-140F/55-60C for alternative-plant based milks. If the milk boils and becomes too hot, it will not create a high-quality froth. Keep practicing until you find the right techniques and enjoy your homemade Cappuccinos.

With a coffee machine equipped with LatteCrema technology or Auto LatteArt steam wand, you can forget about worrying about milk frothing: the frothing is automatic.

Auto LatteArt steam wand automatically textures milk, which allows you to easily create a café variety of coffee recipes.

The LatteCrema mixes air, steam, and milk at the touch of a button in order to create both hot and cold beverages. The technology is designed to work with all kinds of milk including non-dairy alternatives such as soy, almond and oat. And thanks to the LatteCrema Cool carafe, you can create a perfectly satisfying cold milk foam: perfect to be poured into any cold coffee-based beverage to enjoy during summer or when the weather is warmer.
