Advantages: Make your own

Disadvantages: None

You cant beat a cup of Cappuccino now and again.Deliciously Fluffy and creamy on the top,with a sprinkle of chocolate.Staying fluffy right to the last mouthful.

Basically Cappuccino is a coffee-based drink prepared with espresso, hot milk, and steamed milk foam.A cappuccino differs from a caffe latte in that it is prepared with much less steamed or textured milk than the caffe latte with the total of espresso and milk/foam making up between approximately 150 ml and 180 ml (5 and 6 fluid ounces).

OR, you can buy a cappuccino powder, that, when mixed with hot water or milk, produces a cappuccino-tasting drink and may be topped with whipped cream, and chocolate sauce/powder.

You can get different types of Cappuccino,another is a chocolate Cappuccino,which I did not like too much.

You can try and make your own Cappuccino:

A perfect home Cappuccino
----------------------------------

(Ingrediants)
½ coffee cup of water
2-3 level tbsp freshly ground coffee
1½ coffee cups of skimmed milk
chocolate powder, to garnish

(Method)
1. Pour the water into the base of the stove-top espresso maker. Then pack the freshly ground coffee into the filter using the back of a spoon. The amount you use really depends on the strength of the coffee beans. Screw on the top and place on the hob over a medium heat.
2. While the espresso is brewing, heat the milk to just below boiling point. Skimmed milk is the best to use as it holds its froth for longer because of the lower fat content. Once the milk is hot, froth the milk. Place the milk in a large cafetiere and pump the plunger 10-15 times until you have plenty of froth,approximately half froth and half milk.
3. Pour the espresso into warm cups, then, using a large spoon to hold back the froth, pour the milk into the cups. Top with the froth, leaving a visible brown rim around the edge.Sprinkle with the chocolate.
4. The best cappucino should be one third espresso, one third milk and one third froth. You'll find the more you make them, the better they will become.

Summary: A relaxing hot frothy drink.
