Old Italian kitchen recipe: Take rather less ingredients but all the time only the very best ingredients you can get on the market. Nothing different counts for the ultimative cappuccino:
The espresso beans used for the cappuccino need to have the same quality as for the perfect espresso. Only then you taste through the steamd foam the flavor and lingering aftertaste of the Italian espresso as well.
A classic cappuccino comprises the espresso shot, topped with hot steam-foamed milk which lets you sip the taste of the espresso through the milk foam.
Alternatively it comprises 1/3 the espresso shot, 1/3 hot milk and topped with the steam-foamed milk.
The Milk Foam is produced in a steam-wand espresso machine.
This milk foam is often decorated with artistic drawings made with the same milk called latte art - all you need is a pitcher and a lot of patience.
Originally, it comes with shaved bitter chocolate (no sweet chocolate, more than 70% cocoa, the one your grandma used for cakes), sprinkled on top of the ready to go cappuccino.
National versions vary with raw sugar, cinnamon, or other spices.
Cappuccinos need to be served in pre-heated heayy cappuccino cups which store nicely the temperature.
Cappuccino are accompanied by a small piece of a not too sweet cookie and sugar.
In a traditional cappuccino, as served in Europe and artisan coffee houses in the United States, the total of espresso and milk/foam make up between approximately 4 ounces.
Commercial coffee chains here in North America more often serve the cappuccino which they better should announce as a latte (comprising 20% questionable espresso, 75% warm milk and 5% weak foam) in a 8 to 12 oz plastic mug.

Il Caffe Manaresi Gold, called Oro stands for the authentic Italian espresso flavor in the American version: Smooth, elegant with no noticeable acids, not too bold, not roasted dark, a nice bouquet and most important with an unique lingering aftertase which composes a tiny hint but only a hint of hazelnut and chocolate. There are not a lot of espresso coffee out in the market with a lingering aftertaste comparable to our Manaresi espresso coffees. Even in a milk based latte like a cappuccino you can enjoy the aftertaste as well. Expiration date: 01/01/2015
Il Caffe Manaresi Super Bar Brown garuantees a full bodied flavor as well as the lingering aftertaste with just a hint of chocolate as we know it from Manaresi Gold Oro. But don't get it wrong, it is not a chocolate flavored espresso, just a tiny hint of chocolate within the lingering aftertaste. If you extract it as an espresso, it is bold but still smooth and you don't taste any acids, neither bitterness. If you use it in cappuccino or other latte coffees, it still keeps it boldness but compared to the esspresso shot the boldness is a little bit reduced caused in the dominant milk taste. Since robusta coffee beans carry a higher percentage of caffeine, Super Bar is the the perfect wake up call for involuntary early birds or voluntary night owles. Expiration date: 05/18/2014
