This can be described as the perfect balance of richness, sweet milk and espresso. It consists of one or two shots of espresso, milk, and steamed milk foam (the milk can be substituted with cream). The steam milk should sit at least 1 cm deep. The cappuccino is served hot (60°C-65°C), either with a large white circle of milk in the centre of the beverages or with latte art on the top layer of foam. The term "cappuccino" derives from Capuchin friars, due to their white hood.
