In this video you will learn how to make the perfect cappuccino exactly the same we do here at Artisti Coffee Roastery.
The cappuccino is one of the three most popular coffee's on the menu and one that baristas should know how to make really well. In Australia there's a slight twist to the way we make them compared to the rest of the world and that is with the addition of chocolate powder.
A cappuccino in Australia isn't complete without chocolate! Other key components of any good cappuccino is a really nice extraction and perfectly textured milk with the right amount of micro foam. Adding the perfect amount of foam is extremely important.

In this video, I'm going to show you
how to make a cappuccino,
00:00:03:04 - 00:00:06:28
both in an eight ounce takeaway cup
using a double ristretto shot.
00:00:07:05 - 00:00:11:00
And I'm also going to do a dine
in cappuccino in my six ounce cup
00:00:11:00 - 00:00:13:08
using a single shot.
00:00:17:04 - 00:00:18:15
Now, let's get started.
00:00:18:15 - 00:00:20:03
Get my shot on.
00:00:20:03 - 00:00:23:00
Nice clean basket.
00:00:23:00 - 00:00:25:27
Flush my head out.
00:00:26:20 - 00:00:28:03
Maintaining my recipe here
00:00:28:03 - 00:00:30:03
from a 22.5 grams.
00:00:32:05 - 00:00:34:16
So like I said, let's start
00:00:34:16 - 00:00:38:10
with my double ristretto
in this eight ounce takeaway cup now.
00:00:38:20 - 00:00:41:21
We do this double ristretto,
which is our one to one ratio.
00:00:41:21 - 00:00:46:22
I'm going to get 22 and a half grams
of coffee in the basket and I'm getting 22
00:00:47:08 - 00:00:49:26
and a half grams of yield in my cup.
00:00:52:12 - 00:00:56:01
I'm going to put two, two heads on here
so I can start that dine in as well.
00:00:57:14 - 00:00:59:20
That experience in that eight ounce
takeaway cup
00:00:59:20 - 00:01:01:27
is what's going to cut through
that amount of milk
00:01:01:27 - 00:01:04:09
and have a really good experience
for your customer
00:01:05:14 - 00:01:07:25
so that they're getting a full body,
full flavor coffee
00:01:08:00 - 00:01:09:11
in that eight ounce takeaway.
00:01:09:11 - 00:01:12:08
Now, like I said,
I'm only doing a split shot,
00:01:12:09 - 00:01:16:01
a single shot of a normale
a one to two ratio.
00:01:16:11 - 00:01:18:23
So 45 grams of liquid,
but I will only catch
00:01:19:12 - 00:01:21:13
one side of that
00:01:22:00 - 00:01:23:09
into this six ounce cup.
00:01:23:09 - 00:01:28:12
Now, because of the ounce different
in liquid, I'm going for the single shot
00:01:28:12 - 00:01:32:24
because I can get quite a clean,
all round flavor out of that single shot.
00:01:33:15 - 00:01:36:13
And the double ristretto in that six ounce
cup can be quite
00:01:37:27 - 00:01:40:02
overpowering and and not necessary.
00:01:40:02 - 00:01:44:12
Plus when you are in a dine
in situation, you might need that extra
00:01:45:16 - 00:01:46:07
speed.
00:01:46:07 - 00:01:48:18
And splitting your shots is going to mean
that you can get that
00:01:49:06 - 00:01:51:25
two cups on at once. Now,
00:01:51:25 - 00:01:55:22
milk is the main thing for a cappuccino
obviously they're actually the same shots
00:01:55:22 - 00:02:00:01
that I would put in for a flat white
or just for the flat white in that same
00:02:00:08 - 00:02:03:24
crockery cup in the eight ounce takeaway,
it's the same for a latte as well.
00:02:04:19 - 00:02:06:22
So milk is probably the main thing.
00:02:06:23 - 00:02:07:29
When we're talking about cappuccino.
00:02:07:29 - 00:02:11:06
It's obviously about texturing your milk
and what the differences are.
00:02:11:07 - 00:02:16:05
Now, the main three coffees being a flat
white, a latte and a cappuccino.
00:02:16:10 - 00:02:19:07
When you think about those for us,
they are the flat
00:02:19:07 - 00:02:21:04
white is around five miles of froth,
00:02:21:04 - 00:02:25:05
a latte being ten mils of froth
and a cappuccino being 15 mils of froth.
00:02:25:06 - 00:02:29:11
Now I'm saying froth, but I'm meaning
nice creamy, rich, textured milk.
00:02:29:22 - 00:02:31:00
And we get that through good
00:02:32:05 - 00:02:34:19
use of the steam wand,
00:02:34:19 - 00:02:36:28
adding air in the right format.
00:02:36:28 - 00:02:40:02
So if you're still working on your milk
texturing techniques, go back
00:02:40:02 - 00:02:40:29
and watch our other videos.
00:02:40:29 - 00:02:43:14
We've put links below to them
improving your milk.
00:02:43:21 - 00:02:47:21
But the main thing to think about here
is how long you're adding the air for.
00:02:47:21 - 00:02:49:16
We want to get those microfoam bubbles
00:02:49:16 - 00:02:53:18
add air for a longer period of time
to to really expand
00:02:53:18 - 00:02:57:10
that milk and get all of the air in
so we get that froth that we need.
00:02:57:10 - 00:02:58:28
We don't want it to be bubbly.
00:02:58:28 - 00:03:01:13
We want it to be nice and smooth
and textured.
00:03:01:23 - 00:03:04:13
Now you can see here
how much milk I'm starting with.
00:03:04:25 - 00:03:07:07
We do have a video on
how much milk to start with.
00:03:07:07 - 00:03:10:07
This will be dictated
by the size of your jug as well.
00:03:10:25 - 00:03:11:28
We actually did a video on this.
00:03:11:28 - 00:03:13:02
Luke did a video on this,
00:03:13:02 - 00:03:16:17
and there's a downloadable PDF
which is a great guide for you.
00:03:16:17 - 00:03:17:08
As a home barista
00:03:17:08 - 00:03:20:22
or if you're a business owner, a staff,
if you want to reduce wastage.
00:03:21:01 - 00:03:21:21
Start thinking about
00:03:21:21 - 00:03:25:12
how much milk you've got to start with,
and particularly on a cappuccino.
00:03:25:17 - 00:03:28:01
I'm going to start with less milk
because I'm going to froth up to
00:03:28:09 - 00:03:30:08
the end goal that I need. So
00:03:31:20 - 00:03:32:06
let's get this.
00:03:32:06 - 00:03:36:10
So concentrating on the time
that I'm actually adding that air for.
00:03:36:10 - 00:03:39:19
So flat white would be about one
to 2 seconds of air.
00:03:39:19 - 00:03:42:25
Latte about three to 4 seconds of air
and a cappuccino is going to be about
00:03:42:25 - 00:03:46:02
five to 6 seconds of air
on a commercial machine like this.
00:03:46:02 - 00:03:47:08
If you're at home,
00:03:47:08 - 00:03:50:11
you might find that you're actually
needing a lot more time to add
00:03:50:16 - 00:03:51:12
all the texture you want.
00:03:51:12 - 00:03:53:27
So let's get started on this.
00:03:54:26 - 00:03:56:18
So I come down.
00:03:57:03 - 00:03:59:27
So that's the small tearing
sound that I want.
00:04:00:20 - 00:04:03:07
I would have stopped by now
for a flat white or even a latte.
00:04:03:07 - 00:04:05:23
Add that little bit
more and fold it back in.
00:04:05:23 - 00:04:08:02
Temperature 65 degrees.
00:04:10:23 - 00:04:12:11
Clean that up and we're good to go.
00:04:12:11 - 00:04:16:18
Now, I'll just jump straight back in
and I'll show you that again.
00:04:16:19 - 00:04:20:09
Now, starting
I want that air as early as possible.
00:04:20:29 - 00:04:24:10
So you want to get all your air in before,
say, 40 degrees
00:04:24:10 - 00:04:27:13
because you want to have time
to kind of fold that air back in.
00:04:28:09 - 00:04:30:21
Like that all done temperature.
00:04:30:21 - 00:04:32:04
Beautiful.
00:04:32:04 - 00:04:35:00
There is my milk nice and clean. So
00:04:36:20 - 00:04:37:23
clearly added some
00:04:37:23 - 00:04:40:23
volume to that milk you have a look
00:04:41:23 - 00:04:43:21
it's nice and rich
00:04:43:21 - 00:04:47:08
and thick and creamy not fluffy
00:04:47:08 - 00:04:48:25
but well well textured.
00:04:48:25 - 00:04:53:00
You want that customers experience
with a cappuccino to not be aerated
00:04:53:01 - 00:04:55:29
we want it to be smooth
and creamy in their mouth.
00:04:56:00 - 00:04:59:04
So let's pour
00:04:59:04 - 00:05:02:04
this in the way that we make sure we do
get all that froth to come out.
00:05:02:04 - 00:05:04:01
We've blended that in.
00:05:04:08 - 00:05:06:18
So I'm going to jump straight
on top of that shot
00:05:06:18 - 00:05:09:25
and you'll see straight away
the texture of this milk
00:05:11:16 - 00:05:13:20
that is nice and rich.
00:05:13:20 - 00:05:15:26
I can dome that over a little bit
if I need to.
00:05:15:28 - 00:05:16:13
I don't have to.
00:05:16:13 - 00:05:20:15
But just to show that example
for us here in Australia,
00:05:21:24 - 00:05:24:05
we do have a little chocolate
and chocolate on top there.
00:05:24:05 - 00:05:27:16
So that for us is a takeaway cappuccino.
00:05:27:16 - 00:05:30:04
Now, if you come in and have a look
at this, I just want to kind of show you
00:05:30:05 - 00:05:33:16
how much froth I have got on there
because this is not a nineties
00:05:33:16 - 00:05:36:27
cappuccino, but we've got a good amount
of froth and texture.
00:05:36:27 - 00:05:39:21
That milk's nice and smooth and rich.
00:05:40:08 - 00:05:41:11
Beautiful. So
00:05:43:12 - 00:05:45:13
customers will love that.
00:05:45:13 - 00:05:47:16
Now let's grab this this tiny cup.
00:05:47:16 - 00:05:49:13
So I'm going to show you one little trick
00:05:49:13 - 00:05:52:07
that you might have seen on some people's
coffees, you know, show how they do it.
00:05:53:02 - 00:05:55:25
And the trick is putting the chocolate
on top of the shot.
00:05:55:25 - 00:06:00:10
So the challenge with this is
you need to make sure you pour in a way
00:06:00:11 - 00:06:01:21
that doesn't actually
00:06:01:21 - 00:06:04:29
blend the chocolate back into the coffee
and kind of make a mocha anyway.
00:06:05:18 - 00:06:10:12
So make sure you spin your shot
and just do a really light dusting.
00:06:10:12 - 00:06:16:24
If you make it to heavy, it will actually
clump up and not pour as nicely.
00:06:16:25 - 00:06:19:07
So then when I pour,
00:06:20:17 - 00:06:24:16
I've got this nice chocolaty top.
00:06:26:09 - 00:06:27:11
Beautiful.
00:06:29:00 - 00:06:30:23
There's my cappuccino.
00:06:30:23 - 00:06:33:27
You can you can dab on top
if you didn't nail your latte art.
00:06:33:27 - 00:06:35:15
Or you can do a little
00:06:36:21 - 00:06:37:08
nice little
00:06:37:08 - 00:06:39:10
techniques like there if you wanted to
00:06:40:19 - 00:06:43:10
make sure that customer does
get that full chocolaty experience.
00:06:44:02 - 00:06:46:24
But they've also, you know, you haven't
covered up your beautiful latte art.
00:06:46:24 - 00:06:49:25
So we want to make sure
that customer sees that
00:06:50:22 - 00:06:52:25
there's our dine in.
00:06:52:25 - 00:06:55:14
Tidy up our takeaway.
00:06:55:14 - 00:06:59:00
And that right there is how we how
this is a tasty coffee rises
00:06:59:06 - 00:07:00:17
make up, it changes.
00:07:00:17 - 00:07:02:00
Your customer will be happy.
00:07:02:00 - 00:07:05:28
If you've got a little tasting card
like our champion here.
00:07:06:06 - 00:07:08:25
I'm going to stick that in the side
so the customer can read about your coffee
00:07:08:25 - 00:07:11:27
and get the full experience
of what they're tasting in your coffee.
00:07:12:04 - 00:07:15:17
Now I've been through the full coffee
menu, a basic coffee
00:07:15:17 - 00:07:18:22
menu of what you'd expect to see
and how to make all them.
00:07:19:13 - 00:07:21:25
It's a really simple video
showing you the process
00:07:21:25 - 00:07:24:02
and what I do
and the shots and the cups I'm using.
00:07:24:02 - 00:07:27:17

00:07:28:06 - 00:07:30:00

And there is even a downloadable PDF
with that one as well.
00:07:33:11 - 00:07:35:15
Again, just to help manage your.
00:07:35:29 - 00:07:38:09
Make sure you nail
all of your recipes in your coffees.
