Cappuccino Machines Overview
Home » Small Appliances » Cappuccino Machines » Cappuccino Machines OverviewCappuccino is an Italian beverage consisting of a serving of espresso (about 2 ounces) served with steamed milk rapidly swirled on top and perhaps a small dollop of white foam in the center. The color should be milk chocolate brown with a spot or dollop of white in the center and you should be able to taste the coffee.
The term “cappuccino” comes from the color of the Capuchin monk’s robe, which is a light or darkish brown with a white hood.
A cappuccino machine forces water at 90 degrees and 9 bars of pressure through a puck of finely ground coffee. Extracting and emulsifying the oils in the ground coffee produce a rich almost syrupy beverage. A cappuccino machine also has a steam wand which is used to steam and froth milk for cappuccino.
