Many people are a big fan of the cappuccino, both in Italy and elsewhere. But not everyone knows that you can easily make a good cappuccino at home. Especially when the temperature of the coffee is adjusted correctly, and you familiarise yourself with the steam and amount of froth.

A latte macchiato, cappuccino, espresso or americano... Luckily, these types of coffees have been well-established in the Netherlands and are available in virtually every coffee shop. The menu is continuously supplemented with more coffee types. In Italy, the number of types is beyond counting, as well as the way of drinking the coffee.

The perfect barista doesn't exist. At least, there are very few who can call themselves that, in all honesty. The professional barista must be knowledgeable in a variety of areas: in addition to operating the register, they have to keep the bar tidy and clean, deal with the customers in a friendly manner, but most importantly... they must be able to serve a good espresso.
