Yes, an excellent choice. A strong, intense coffee, without bitterness or acidity, that retains its character with milk: the notes of spices, cocoa and fruit blend with the foam. For a cappuccino: a single espresso (7–8 g), a preheated 150 ml ceramic cup, and 100 ml of whole milk heated to 65 °C with dense foam.
