Ok First of all its spelt CAPPUCCINO.

I used to work for Starbucks and basically the bast way to make a cappuccino is to steam the milk with the steam arm/wand just below the surface of the milk so that there are lots of small bubbles rather than big ones that will just burst.

The proportions at Starbucks are 1/2 steamed milk and 1/2 foam. A true cappuccino should be very light so that they espresso comes through the foam.

Hold back the foam from the jug that you have steamed the milk in with a large spoon until the cup is half filled with hot steamed milk. Then add the foamy milk.

Whole milk works best because of the fat content but semi skimmed milk works just fine too!

If you need any more help just email me.
