How can i make homemade cappuccions?!
Answers: i love starbucks, but sometimes i dont have the time or energy to stop and buy my frappuccions or cappuccions. does anyone know how i can make them at home and what i need to do so?
You will first need an espresso machine.
brew 1-2 shots, put it in the cup, add chocolate syrup or powder, sugar, milk, and any other flavored syrup.
Make your favorite coffee, and leave it heating in the pot. Microwave some milk until its hot, Then put the milk in a coffee plunger, and push the knob on the top up and down multiple times until you have a creamy froth. Spoon this on top of your coffee, dust with cocoa and voila! I put the link of the coffee plunger below. Good luck!
to make a real one you need a cappuccino machine, but people often like the powder mixes as well. If you want a real one, you need a machine though, which uses high pressure steam to brew the espresso and also to heat and froth the milk.
You can buy these mixes in several brands at your supermarket. My husband and I like Folgers Straight Up Latte.
But if you want to make coffees from scratch, go to this link:

Cappuccino: Usually equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and frothed milk, often with cinnamon or flaked chocolate sprinkled on top. Some coffee shops will add more milk than that so that the customer will get a bigger drink out of the deal, but that makes the coffee itself far weaker.
Cappuccino
You want to create an ample amount of foam in the milk by tipping the pitcher or container that is holding the heated milk and bringing the steaming apparatus along the surface gently bringing the steam wand up as the foam is created. This additional foam is vital for the cappuccino. When the milk is thoroughly heated and you have created enough foam to fill one third of your coffee mug, then turn off the steam wand and pour the espresso shots.
In your coffee cup, put the shot(s) into the cup first
Add enough milk to fill the cup two thirds of the way
In the remaining space, spoon out foam
You have a perfectly blended cappuccino if you like a little flavoring, you can place that into the cup before adding the espresso and stir with the milk and espresso before topping it off with foam.
Capresso 121.01 Ultima Semi-Automatic Coffee and Espresso/Cappuccino Machine
Rated4Stars Review: The Capresso 121.01 Ultima moves the semi-automatic class of espresso machines a step toward automatic by simplifying the brewing and cleanup process. Billed as “the world's most convenient semi-automatic coffee and espresso/cappuccino machine,” the unit eliminates the standard handled filter holder, manual tamping process, and the need to clean up immediately after each shot is pulled. Owners uniformly cite its superior convenience and reasonable cost as compared to more traditional semi-automatic machines, and are quick to point out that the convenience does not come at the cost of quality. The unit produces excellent espresso shots or full cups of Café Crema. A number of owners cite the unit’s ease of use and ability to defer cleanup as making it ideal for small work groups.
hope this helps. good luck.
