Cappuccino in a copper cortado

CommonCopper

A cappuccino in a copper cortado, #578 of 999. Morning light, marble counter. Foam on the surface. Foam Crown. Scarce: Copper. Common, roast score 126.2.

The recipe

18.1 g · 35 g out · 70 ml milk · 1:1:1

Pull a double into the cortado.
Steam 70 ml to 60 °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.
