Cappuccino Cups

By: AP. Asputi

When cappuccino is made by the barista, you’ll hear the sound of the milk being steamed just right so that it makes a given amount of foam atop the espresso coffee that was brewed just so in an espresso maker. The hiss alone can make a cappuccino person begin to salivate. Serious cappuccino lovers are notorious for wanting just the right cappuccino cups for their coffee.

Devotes of cappuccino place extraordinary value on a cup that will combine not only the specialness factor, but also one that also has a functional design as well as a certain handcrafted quality. To a cappuccino lover, cappuccino cups must have the right shape, be of the right size, and most importantly the right thickness. You see, both the shape as well as the thickness of the cup will help create the ideal cappuccino due to the fact that it will retain the exact heat of the espresso and the steamed milk, as the heat is what helps it maintain that wonderful froth!

Cappuccino purists describe the fact that the coffee itself must be made in a special espresso machine for one important fact the coffee must be “compressed” by the right temperature of water through the powdery stuff that is highly prized grind of freshly roasted coffee beans. The liquid that comes out into the cappuccino cups should be a very frothy caramel tinted liquid that they refer to as cream.

Most cappuccino aficionados maintain that the cappuccino cups should hold 5 ounces of cappuccino no more no less! Also, the cup cannot be made of glass, paper or plastic. It must be a porcelain cup, all in the hopes of retaining the heat correctly for the optimum taste throughout the whole time that it takes one to drink 5 ounces of cappuccino.

The cup must not only retain the heat of the espresso, but did you know that that’s the function of the air whipped milk that sits on the coffee like a warm cover? That is exactly why the milk is foamed, so that it acts as better insulation to keep the espresso at just the “right” temperature. The cappuccino purist feels that the correct cappuccino cups not only keeps the espresso at the correct temperature, but also via its warmth will retain the froth of the milk in its frothy state, so that it can do its job.

Part of why cappuccino cups are so small other than the fact that the coffee is usually pretty strong, is so that the foamy milk will stay foamy. Cappuccino purists speak of drinking the very special coffee through a cloud. And what remains of the cloud when you finish the coffee is usually why cappuccino is served with a tiny spoon, so that you can spoon out the remains and not miss a delectable drop of it.
