How can I make a cappuccino without any of those special gadgets.?
Answers: For good no-frills espresso I like a stove-top espresso pot. You can find cheap ones all over the place & they are great for camping too.
I guess if you combine this with the 'frothing milk by shaking it in container' method mentioned above, you'll have a cheap and cheerful way of producing cappuccino's pretty much anywhere. Source(s):
http://www.slowtrav.com/italy/instructio... In your local supermarket you'll find loads of brands do an instant one. They're very nice! I do have a machine but I still buy them sometimes! Making the froth is impossible without a gadget. You need a plunger for the coffee, and if you don't have, or want to buy a coffee machine there are small milk frothers available at most appliance stores for about $15 and all you need to do is microwave the milk and then use that. supermarkets do instants and to be honest they taste better. we have a machine but hardly use it, its handdy for the froth but if you whisk those instant ones enough most of them froth anyway Make a strong cup of coffee, then heat milk and put a bit in an empty milk container screw the top and and shake. You get lots of frothy milk. Saw Jamie Oliver do this! the heat expands so make sure you don't fill it too much! and open carefully!
Good luck! The instant ones are really good. Whisk one of those round vigourously for a couple of minutes to get it good and frothy.And they come with shake on chocolate sprinkles. i use instant and add a little milk taste better that way. but if you want to make your own use a small coffee plunger for the milk... i put milk in jug warm in microwave then whip it up with the plunger - you get more froth than you know what to do with and its quick The only way to make a cappuccino is to use 1/3 espresso, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 frothy milk. You do need the "special gadgets" to do this, but there are some relatively cheap ones on the market which are OK for home use. Dust the top with a little chocolate powder or ground cinnamon.
Instant "cappuccino" is a very inferior substitute. Coffee Mate creations are fantastic, they add froth without the mixing.
http://www.tesco.com/superstore/bob.asp?... blow through a straw Yes, just get cappuccino mix, a coffee mug and hot water! Well, the special gadget is worth investing in if you want great espresso and cappuccino at home.
I have a Gagia Cubika espresso machine. Basically, it's a home version of the coffee machines you find in cafe's and coffee shops. I was fortunate enough to find mine in a sale so it only cost me about ￡25 (US$50).
The brand of coffee I use is Lavazza Qualita Rossa. Lavazza Club 100% Arabica is nicer - much smoother - but is more expensive and not as easy to come by.
It takes about 5 minutes to make a cup of coffee, but oh, what wonderful coffee it is. It's equal to a coffee you would pay ￡3 for in an Italian coffee house and soooo much better than the weak crap they sell in Starbucks.
Once you have a real espresso machine and good coffee at home, there is no going back to making coffee any other way. But coffee is my favourite drink, so I want absolute perfection and I refuse to have second best.
So invest in a decent coffee machine. It more than pays for itself and you will never regret it. make it with milk, get a straw, n blow.x oh, this question is so funny for me!!!!!!!!!!!!
well, it's funny only because I'm italian...!!!
well, to make a good cappuccino you have to buy a special machine that mixes the milk you have to add on the coffee.....you need a lot of froth, so the cappuccino will be very good......
otherwise....why don't you come here and go to a bar and ask for a real cappuccino?????????
well....maybe this isn't always possible.....but...one more occasion to visit us,isn't it?????
i'm joking....!!
byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!... I use a cheap stick blender from Asda cost about ￡4
it makes great cappuccino I used to have this little gizmo called "Coffee Magic" which was this little cup with a small milk frother built in, I used to use it a lot to make coffee but then it broke down. Even though it was cheap I didn't buy a new one. I had to make it all manually. However I discovered adding a little double or whipping cream to the milk and then shaking it (for instance a milk carton or drinks bottle). Only add a little cream you do not want thick and sticky cream which goes on the top of a trifle.
Here is another tip, add chocolate powder to your coffee to sweeten it as well as sugar.
Nowadays I make coffee and add one piece of chocolate. I wait until it melts in the boiling coffee. I then add scoops of vanilla ice cream and wait till it melts. It is very nice, if you have a stronger taste I suggest you use dark chocolate and other ice creams, just experiment, see what you like! buy the sachets boil milk put in heat rest! glass shake well then pour in coffe Instant cappuccino's are very good, I recommend the Douwe Egberts variety. They come in a bag and if you follow the easy instructions they froth up instantly when you add the hot water. They are a very good substitute for non-instant ones, they taste really nice.
If you wanted to froth the milk yourself, but don't want to buy a frother, go to the Baileys website and if you fill in the forms, they send you one for free!!!! Hi ! If I understood well your Q, this is my answer. You can make a mix of milk powder, some coffee and some chocolate .. mix all ... and use small amount of the mix when you want to drink a small cup of cappuccino ....in broiled water. Hope to have helped you. pri Try the Nescafe Instant Cappuccino, you get 10 sachets and the chocolate to sprinkle on top, really nice. Available at all major supermarkets. them instant ones are good,no cappuccino without gadgets lol i have a gadget it makes lovely cappuccino but them instant cappuccino s are nice too ....... You can buy little packets of cappuccino anywhere...I like the nescafe ones myself.....I'm not fond of the little packets though, if you really want to do it yourself just make a cup of black coffee and put some fresh whipped cream on top, with a little cocoa powder.....it's not conventional...but it tastes nice, and just like the packets...add sugar to taste.... : ) Go to Starbucks put your warm milk into an empty milk carton, shake the carton and then pour the milk into your cup with instant coffee granules, I findit just as nice as the shop ones, without expensive gadgets Dear odball, You can make cappuccino coffee using one kitchen utensil. Place some milk in a pot and bring it to the boil, but watch it does not go over the sides. Place some coffee in a cup. With burning yourself Whisk the milk until it is frothy, pour into the cup and hey presto, you have a cappuccino with out using all the money costing machinery. But remember one pot of milk for one cup. try not to do to much at one time. Good luck....David Using a whisk or a fork, froth up a mug or cupful of milk in a pan then either pour onto coffee granules in a mug or cup or you can add the coffee to the pan along with sugar to taste and whisk as the milk comes to the boil in the pan!!!
It's basically a frothy milky coffee or a 'latte' as us Italians call it.
Sprinkle cocoa powder over the frothy top if you like.
Enjoy! You can make them by buying cappuccino sachets from your local supermarket in a box of about 10 at a time for around ￡2, made by nescafe and other coffee makers. Just put the sachet in the cup, boil the kettle and pour in the hot water and stir. add sugur to required taste. Ready in minutes, no gadgets needed. They also do latte's too. heat up the milk, (under boiling though) & froth up the milk with a fork..but if you have one of those round frothers made for whipping cream etc it's faster & easier..
I got a cappucino frother which was only about a ￡1 (long time ago), I think if you shop around you'll find one for ￡1..maybe Tesco or sainsbury's or Asda has one..
sometimes those ￡1 shops sell them also..
then after you have frothed the milk, pour on top of strongish coffee already made & put cinnamon or chocalate on top! You can't. you can improvise, but it won't be quite the same! I've always found the 'instant' ones very disappointing compared to a properly made cappucino.
It needs to be 1/3 espresso, 1/3 flat milk and 1/3 frothed milk. Even if you just use cafetiere coffee or instant granules, the best you're going to make is a very watery latte (1/3 espresso and 2/3 flat milk). To get the proper froth, you need to blast steam into the milk just below the surface to create the millions of tiny bubbles.
To make an espresso I'd recommend the Aeropress:

(I'm used to a proper machine with a portafilter, but even this will still give you a good crema, providing you use a good quality coffee).
To froth your milk, you'll need to heat it (140C is the optimum temperature) and froth with something like the below:
