Eggless Cappuccino

Few drinks hit the way a properly made cappuccino does — that balance of bold espresso, silky steamed milk, and thick, velvety foam is genuinely hard to beat. The good news is that this classic café staple is naturally free of eggs at every step, so there's nothing to swap or substitute; just two clean ingredients doing exactly what they're meant to do. The technique here is what separates a great cappuccino from a mediocre one, and the instructions walk you through every detail — from flushing the group head to nailing that 25–30 second extraction with a reddish-gold crema. Steaming the milk to 140–150°F and building that glossy, bubble-free microfoam is the real skill to develop, and once you get it, you'll wonder why you ever paid café prices. Pre-warming the cup is a small step that makes a noticeable difference, keeping the drink at the right temperature all the way to the last sip. Serve it immediately and enjoy the equal thirds of espresso, steamed milk, and foam exactly as intended.
