Cappuccino is a mixture of espresso, a little steamed milk and a little milk foam. Serves one
Step One - Make a 1 1/2 oz. espresso, leaving enough water in the espresso machine to steam some milk. (See "How to Make an Espresso" in the Related eHows section.)
Step Two - Put espresso in a 5-oz. or larger cup so that you have room for the milk.
Step Three - Set espresso machine to steam.
Step Four - Fill a stainless-steel carafe with 3 oz. cold milk and insert the steam nozzle.
Step Five - Place nozzle halfway down in milk and leave it in milk for 45 to 60 seconds, or until the milk is hot and there's enough foam for your preference.
Step Six - Add 1 1/2 oz. steamed milk to the cup of espresso.
Step Seven - Spoon some foamed milk onto the top.
Step Eight - If you like, sprinkle with ground chocolate, cinnamon or nutmeg.
Tips & Warnings -
For a drink with fewer calories, use 2 percent, 1 percent or nonfat milk.
Traditionally, cappuccino is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 foam.
A caffe latte is espresso with two to three times as much steamed milk, also topped with foam.
In Italy, people would find it odd to order a cappuccino after a meal; if you want something with milk in it, you must not have eaten enough.
Steam can cause severe burns, and an espresso machine will be very hot even after it is turned off. Open valve on the machine's steam tube very slowly.
Never steam a carafe of milk that is more than 1/3 full.

Depps Lover is a good answer. If you don't own an espresso machine or stove top espresso, use a filter machine and 2-3 dessert spoons of fine coffee grinds per cup. Make sure it's not a flavoured coffee either i.e. Irish Mist Coffee etc.
Then once done - sprinkle some chocolate powder or Cinnamon ontop of your frothy milk.
