Next, place the portafilter under the tamper. Press firmly up while holding on the top of the tamper down. This firmly packs the espresso in the portafilter. The portafilter is then placed into the cappuccino. With a twist to the right, it is locked into the machine.
Cold milk is added to a frothing pitcher.
The pitcher is best to be cold. Two percent is one the best for frothing. The light brown color of the espresso is called a crema. Crema should top your espresso to show that it is a good ground. The espresso is made from hot water being forced through the tightly packed grounds.
