When you want a refreshing coffee beverage you might reach for a Dalgona coffee, but if a creamy espresso-filled cappuccino is what you're after, knowing the best way to make the luscious coffee staple will ensure the enjoyment of your efforts. Recently the founder of the Invita Cafe in California, Sara de Luca, revealed to The Kitchn her essential tips for crafting the perfect cappuccino. Beyond her suggestions regarding cup temperature and encouraging creativity with additional ingredients besides milk and espresso, Luca details the importance of fresh milk. "If your milk is good your cappuccino shouldn't need sugar," Luca states. But what does that mean exactly?
According to Cru Kafe, milk's fat content affects the overall consistency of a cappuccino and if you're using cow's milk, there is some interesting science to consider. The sugar found in cow's milk known as lactose isn't necessarily sweet when consumed cold, but in the steaming process, breaks down and melts, giving off a sweeter flavor. When it comes to the recommended temperature of your steamed milk, Cru Kafe believes anywhere between 135-150 degrees Fahrenheit will draw out that much-welcomed hidden sweetness. Yet, the Perfect Daily Grind believes the fat content, not the exact temperature is the true indicator of how sweet your freshly made cappuccino will be. With all of this in mind though, can you make a delicious cappuccino with plant-based milk?
