- Two shots of espresso
- 1/3 cup of steamed milk
- 1/3 froth from steamed milk
I put this post up today because the "barista" at Starbucks yesterday took my order for a dry cappuccino with a knowing nod and then proceeded to give me a wet cappuccino. I had to have her make it again much to her aggravation. I am afraid that baristas at large chains are not always in tune with the nuances of mainline drinks. Mrs. DarkroastedDC adds that it also is possible that some baristas can't believe you will pay full price for that little milk and are worried that you will be upset by the lack of raw liquid in your drink. Interesting thought. Regardless, with a better understanding of cappuccino making you can help them get it right.

I have never drunk a cappuccino like that one, but sounds interesting and delicious, so I'll have to prepare it when I arrive at home.
