How to make an awesome Cappuccino

Making a Cappuccino on my Rancilio Silvia. I don't believe in using thermometers or timers when making coffee!

Arse! The espresso was over extracted. Look at the color of the espresso. It was burnt!!! You need to temperature surf, man! Look it up! And u made a latte. Not a cappuccino. Again, Arse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@big8885 Dear Sir,

Thank you for your constructive criticism. After looking for your video of the perfectly extracted shot of espresso i found nothing...hmmm must be a problem with youtube. You will find that the machine I used has been modified with a PID, so no need to temp surf.

This is a great vid except you're letting the espresso sit for like 2 minutes! It will overcook in the cup and become horribly bitter.

@mrtatulas This is a limitation of the single boiler machine. The alternative is to make the coffee after the milk. So the mile will sit and separate while the coffee is made. And the coffee will be extracted at too high a temperature as the machine will have heated up during the steaming of the milk. So now you have both crappy milk and crappy coffee.

Are you getting a crema on the top of your coffee? If you do not use fresh beans it will be difficult to get the nice crema. Reddish brown is a good colour. Find a roaster near you and get fresh beans and you will open a new world of coffee for yourself.

You must not believe in good espresso either. jk but why dont you use timers?

@freefrety apparently u havent searched at all. it shows u the proper way to extract espresso. So his critism is valid

[Xiia0Sn00pY]

@freefrety a perfectly extracted shot of espresso should be between 20-30 secs or so. And the shots should have a appx 60ml of coffee with the shots coming out like mouse tails. that my friend is overextracted. it resutls in a burnt coffee. If u found nothing on youtube.. well i guess u just are freaking blind dude

That was a latte....no art on a cappuccino!

@big8885 What you say is simply not true. The espresso has a nice hazelnut-brown crema, sign of a perfect espresso (even if it's about the taste. A real espresso always runs darkbrown first, depending on the bean.

And a latte would be milk first and then a shot of espresso. In the cup you'll see the white steamed milk and a point, where the espresso has been hittin the milk. This right here is a nice cappuccino with a very nice leaf on top. Well done.

Not bad, but italian cappuccino is not so big. Nice latte art, too! :)
