How do you make a good cappuccino from the machine?

Do you fancy a really tasty cappuccino? In this article we tell you how to make a good cappuccino not only at home but also at work. Making a good cappuccino at home is not really complicated. Of course it takes some practice, but once you've got the hang of it, it's not very complicated:

1) choose a good bean like the DE espresso beans medium roast (1kg) or for Mastership espresso beans medium roast UTZ

2) start with cold, whole milk and froth it well. A nice whole milk for this is the Globemilk barista or a cheaper milk foam variant such as the Naarmann whole milk.

3) And your cappuccino is ready.

So much for the home part. You drink most coffee at work and you want to drink a nice cappuccino there too. We are regularly asked how you can drink a delicious cappuccino from a coffee machine. Here are some tips.

Coffee machine with fresh milk.

The best cappuccino is cappuccino with fresh milk. There are coffee machines that offer this as standard, but they are not cheap. Used like this Douwe Egberts the Barista one fresh milk. A cheaper option than the Philips 3200 EP3246/70. This coffee machine also has a milk jug that you can fill with fresh milk. The disadvantage of the Philips 3200 is the limited capacity. This is ideal for an office with up to 5 employees. That is why we often see the Philips 3200 in showrooms and shops. Not much coffee is drunk there, but you do want to offer your customers a really nice cup of bean coffee with fresh milk. NB; if you opt for a coffee machine with fresh milk, you have to take extra cleaning work into account. At the end of the day, you do have to put the parts in the dishwasher. The LatteGo system of the Philips 3200 is appreciated for the ease with which you keep it clean.

Coffee machine with cappuccino topping

Unfortunately, a coffee machine with fresh milk is not always possible. Refilling the fresh milk and cleaning is a daily chore that does not always fit into the work rhythm of an organization. Even then, a delicious cappuccino is still possible, but the foam head is not made with fresh milk but with cappuccino topping. Choosing a good topping is the most important step. The two most famous cappuccino toppings are the Douwe Egberts cappuccino topping and the cappuccino topping from Meesterschap. They don't differ much in taste. In both cases it is a nice full, creamy cappuccino. Only the cappuccino topping from Meesterschap is slightly cheaper. An interesting outsider in the field of cappuccino toppings is the Nestlé cappuccino topping. Better known as the Nestle dairy whitener powder. They are cleverly responding to the trend that cappuccino toppings may contain less and less sugars. With the Nestle dairy whitener powder low in fat they succeed quite well in this. With this cappuccino topping they make a pretty firm milk foam for the cappuccino.

Coffee machine settings

Still not satisfied with the cappuccino that comes out of your coffee machine? Also take a critical look at the settings of your coffee machine.

This also affects the taste.
