Tips for a Perfect Cappuccino with Thermomix

1. Although the recipe is simple, there are some tricks that will help you improve your cappuccino with Thermomix even more and obtain a coffee foam worthy of any barista:
2. 1. Use whole milk
3. Whole milk is the best choice for frothing, as it contains more fat, making it easier to create a creamier, longer-lasting foam. Although you can use skim or vegetable milk, the result may not be as fluffy.
4. 2. Let the milk cool a little before frothing
5. This trick is key to achieving a more stable foam. If you let the milk sit for a few seconds before frothing it, the fat will disperse better and the foam will be denser.
6. 3. Customize with additional flavors
7. If you’re a fan of different flavors, you can experiment by adding cinnamon, vanilla, or even a pinch of nutmeg to your cappuccino before heating it. The Thermomix will integrate the flavors perfectly with the milk.
8. 4. Decorate with chocolate powder or cocoa
9. For an elegant presentation, sprinkle your cappuccino foam with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings. This will not only make it more visually appetizing, but will also add a touch of extra flavor.
