Half Light Drift

Cappuccino in a cream diner

Common

A cappuccino in a cream diner, #233 of 999. Morning light, oak counter. Foam on the surface. Foam Crown. Knit sleeve. Common, roast score 83.8.

The recipe

17.2 g · 35 g out · 131 ml milk · 1:1:1

Pull a double into the diner.
Steam 131 ml to 61 °C with more air than a latte — you are after a third of foam, and it should hold a spoon.
Pour so the foam lands last and sits a centimetre deep.
Spoon the foam on last so it sits proud of the rim rather than folding in.
Build the foam a centimetre above the rim and let it set for a moment before it travels.
