Prepare your ground coffee and begin brewing a shot of espresso.
While the espresso is brewing, heat and froth the milk using a frother or the steam wand of an espresso machine. Make sure to froth the milk until it is hot and has a creamy, foamy consistency.
Pour the brewed espresso into a 6-8 ounce cup.
Slowly pour the milk over the espresso, using a spoon to hold back the foam.
Top the cappuccino with a layer of microfoam.
Serve the cappuccino immediately and enjoy!
