How to Curl Your Hair with a Straightener

Posted: 09 Nov 2019 12:00 AM PST

Curling hair with a straightener can create full, bouncy curls that won't look like ringlets. It takes a little practice, but once you get the technique down, you will look amazing and practically red-carpet ready. Follow along to learn how to get the beautiful curls you've always wanted – without using a curling iron.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Prepping Your Hair

  1. Start with clean and dry hair. Make sure to start with completely clean and dry hair. Wet hair won't curl at all and damp hair won't curl as well. Even if you have one of those magical wet-to-dry hair straighteners, it's best if you have dry hair. Dirty hair also won't hold its shape very well, so make sure you've washed it in the past 24 hours.[1]

    • If you're blow drying your hair first, use mousse. The extra volume will keep your hair from looking too flat as you curl it.
  2. Use a thin flat iron. Your straightener should be about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) in width from plate to handle and have rounded edges, otherwise it won't form smooth curls. A flat, paddle-style iron also won't do curls. It'll be much harder to hold and wrap if you have this kind of straightener and the hair won't want to stay in the right place.[2]

    • Make sure you've got a good quality flat iron. The best work faster, make your hair smoother, and do less damage than poor quality irons. They can have a big impact on things like shine and the consistency of curls.[3]
    • Heat the iron up to the minimum temperature you need for your hair. If your hair is fine and thin, stick to the low end of the dial at below 300 degrees. Normal hair can be ironed at 300 to 380. You can turn it up to 350 to 400 if your hair tends to be thick, coarse, or frizzy.[4]
  3. Apply heat protectant. Applying a heat protectant or a thermal spray creates a protective barrier between the hair and the iron so that the hair doesn't "frizzle" and burn. Spray all over your hair – no need to comb, as it should mist on and dry quickly.[5]

    • If you have thick hair, spray it on each section before you tackle it. If you just spray it on the top of all your hair, it won't hit the bottom layers.
    • Also be sure to comb out any tangles in your hair before applying heat.
  4. Part your hair into sections. You'll have better luck curling your hair if you section it instead of trying to attack the whole mess at once.[6] In general, the thicker your hair the more sections you'll need to do. Tie up the hair above your ears and put it in a bun on the top of your head. It needs to be out of the way.

    • Start at the bottom of your scalp, close to your ears and neck. Leave down as much hair as you can work with for your first "layer" of curls. A good rule is to work with 1 to 2 inch sections at a time. Pin up the rest.[7]
    • Once that layer is done, you'll unclip your hair and let down another layer. Again, clip up what you can't curl right now. Keep curling in layers.

[Edit]Exploring Different Techniques

  1. Alternate flicks and curls. Flicks and curls are simply two slightly different ways to curl your hair with a flat iron. Try both to see what you like.

    • Flicks: Start half-way down the length of hair, clamp the iron closed and turn it back on itself in a half turn. You should now have created a U-shape with the hair and the iron. Keeping the iron on that half-turn angle, slowly move it down the hair shaft to the end of the hair. The faster you move the iron, the less pronounced the curl/flick will be. If you like big soft flicks, slow down your iron.[8]
    • Curls: Starting fairly close to the scalp (but not close enough to accidentally burn it), clamp the iron closed and turn it back on itself a half turn (the same as with flicks). Run the iron slowly down the hair shaft to the end. Again, the slower you move the iron, the tighter the curl. The faster you move the iron, the gentler the wave.[9]
  2. Make more pronounced curls by turning the straightener a full turn, instead of a half. With flicks and curls, you just rotated the hair straightener a half turn. If you want more ringlet-y, complete curls, rotate the straightener a full turn, turning the hair over onto itself, sort of creating a loop[10].

    • Find out what your hair tends to do between the half and the whole turn. You may find that half is enough, or that a three-quarters turn is more ideal for you. What's more, certain days may be half-turn days, and other days will feel like full-turn days. It's up to you!
  3. Experiment with turning your straightener under and over. When you rotate your flat iron, whether it's a half-rotation or a full-rotation, you're confronted with a decision to make: to turn under and around or over and around. Neither is incorrect, though the curl will reverse with the change in angle. Which looks best on you?

    • Try to be consistent. It's easy to curl one way on one side and then when you switch arms to inadvertently switch directions, too. If you do wind up accidentally doing this, you'll probably be the only one who notices your curls in are different directions.[11]
    • On the other hand, alternating directions can also look great. You just have to be sure to use a consistent pattern throughout.
  4. Try flat waves. Once in a while, it feels high time to bring back 1995. Clamp your flat iron down on your hair and turn it up a half of a turn. Then, clamp it on the next bit of hair and turn it down a half of a turn. This technique will give you flat waves, almost like a finger wave. Repeat this process down the length of your hair.

    • For these flat waves, you're clamping down on every bit of your hair. For curling, you simply curl at the top and slowly drag it down – kind of like curling ribbon on a gift or balloon.[12]

[Edit]Curling Your Hair

  1. Add some hairspray. If your hair doesn't curl easily or doesn't hold a curl, put hairspray on sections immediately before you curl them. If you want your curls to hold their shape just how they immediately fall from the straightener, spritz a tiny bit of hairspray on the hair right before you curl it.[13]

    • Be sure to use a non-aerosol working spray for this. Aerosols will create a sticky mess.
    • Don't use too much hairspray, as well. Then it becomes stiff and crunchy, which is not the look you're aiming for.
  2. Grab the section of hair you want to curl. How much hair you include in each curl is up to you, but here are a few points to keep in mind:

    • Smaller sections make smaller, tighter curls, as well as more of them. If you want a look that's closer to ringlets, keep your sections less than two inches wide.
    • Larger sections result in bouncier, looser curls that look a little more natural. Use sections that are wider than two inches for big curls.[14]
    • Mix it up. You don't have to stick completely to one size or another. For instance, you could do larger curls close to your face and the top of your head to create lift and volume, and tighter, more delicate curls underneath for support. Try it a few different ways and see what you like best.
  3. Use one of the above techniques. The above methods share the same basic principles: turn your hair straightener over itself, and lightly and slowly drag it down your hair. Clamp lightly keeping the hair on the straightener plates – not so hard it's difficult to move and not so lightly that the hair escapes.

    • The variables you can switch up? Where you start on your hair (towards your scalp or towards the ends), how slowly you move the flat iron, and how much you rotate the flat iron. Experiment with these three variables to find the perfect look for you.
    • You don't have to curl all your hair, either. A few strands that are straighter or just wavy can give you a natural, beach-y look.
  4. Finish up. You can leave your hair as-is when you're finished curling, or you can add an additional touch to wrap up the style you want.

    • For looser curls: Gently run your fingers through your hair and tousle it. You'll get a little more volume, and a relaxed, natural look.[15]
    • For more hold: Put a light mist of hairspray all over your curls to keep them sleek and tight throughout the day. If you live in a really humid area, consider using an anti-humidity spray as well.

[Edit]Tips

  • Don't hold for too long because otherwise your hair may burn and fray.
  • Steam rising from your hair is completely normal; it's just the heat protectant doing its job. However, if you smell burning hair or see singeing, remove the heat immediately and move faster or find a lower heat setting in the future.
  • Make sure your hair doesn't have knots in it.
  • Ceramic straighteners tend to be better for the hair, as metal plates may damage the hair shaft.
  • It is very important to use heat protectant when using heat-styling products on your hair. It will help your hair against breakage, fight frizz and keeps your hair healthy.
  • If you don't have heat protectant, use coconut oil.
  • Make sure your hair is clean. If it is greasy and dirty, the straightener can damage your hair.
  • You may need someone to help you to do the hair at the back of your head to prevent you from getting burned.
  • Practice your technique. It might not be perfect the first time, but you'll get it right eventually.
  • For better results, straighten hair before curling.
  • Your hair needs to be straight or wavy to do this. It won't work on curly hair unless it's first dried straight.
  • Always use a heat protection spray on hair before curling it with curling irons. straighteners, or drying your hair.
  • The tighter you hold the hair in the straighteners the more precise the curl can be.

[Edit]Warnings

  • Don't keep a flat iron on one section of hair for more than 7 to 10 seconds.
  • Never straighten wet hair, unless you have straighteners that are made to do so.

    • Help reinforce basic concepts and vocabulary with crossword puzzles, which are easily downloaded online.
    • Create a board game with science trivia, asking questions such as "What are the states of matter?" "What are the names of the noble gases?" or anything that pertains to what you are studying in class.
  2. Make a group. Try forming a club or group that meets once or twice a week before school or during lunch for science-related activities. Use it as a form of group study.
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 2 Version 2.jpg
    • Use club time to play scientific games, watch documentaries, and try different experiments.
    • Have competitions between club members or participate in events like the Science Olympiad as a team.[1]
    • Ask your science teacher if they would be willing to supervise your club.
  3. Perform experiments. Simple experiments such as making a papier mache volcano or the Cartesian Diver are easily done at home in your spare time. More complicated experiments can be undertaken for class projects and science fairs.
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 3 Version 2.jpg
    • Work with a subject that is meaningful to you. If you're interested in meteorology, for example, you could make a cloud in a bottle.
    • Ask yourself "Why?" questions frequently. Look up information on the sort of results you want to see, and ask yourself, "Why did my experiment produce these results rather than the predicted ones?"
    • Follow the scientific method. If you are doing your experiment for class or a science fair, it is important to follow the scientific method so that you can properly record and report your experiment. Remember to include background research, a hypothesis, and an analysis along with your methods.[2]
  4. Draw a picture. If you are a visual learner, turn your studies into art. Draw pictures and diagrams to help you follow your course material, and use these to supplement your notes.
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 4 Version 2.jpg
    • Be detailed and include labels. If, for example, you are drawing a plant cell, identify the chloroplast, nucleus, mitochondria, ER, vacuole, Golgi body, cell wall, etc. Make sure there is information to match the visual.
    • Be colorful. Creativity has been shown to help students actively engage in the learning process.[3]Get creative and colorful with your drawings, even if it doesn't exactly match the models in the text books.
  5. Learn with 3D models. Use interactive 3D models of topics like molecules, organs, or the solar system.
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 5 Version 2.jpg
    • Ask your teacher if any models are available to the class. If not, create your own. There are a number of tutorials and DIY instructions for scientific models online.
    • Use your notes and drawings to help you take the models apart, identify their components, and put them back together.
    • Test yourself by seeing if you can name and describe individual components of the model. Try throwing all the pieces into a bag, pulling one out at a time, and listing all the information you know about that piece.
  6. Use mnemonic devices. Make memorizing facts easier with little memory tricks, a rhyme, or an acronym. These are meant to help you remember confusing concepts, difficult terms, and hard-to-remember facts.[4]
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 6 Version 2.jpg
    • For example, HOMES is an acronym for the 5 great lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior).
    • This mnemonic device might be of big help for you to remember the planets of the solar system: My Very Energetic Mother Jumps Straight Up North (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).
    • Be as creative and as funny as you want as long as the facts can be easily remembered.
  7. Find real-world examples. Science becomes more meaningful when you understand how it impacts your daily life and the larger world around you.
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 7 Version 2.jpg
    • Tie basic experiments back into real-world examples. If, for example, you do a demonstration showing oil is lighter than water, pair it with a discussion of oil spills and what sort of impact floating oil could have on the environment.
    • Engage yourself in your surroundings by identifying hazards in local environments. Use rising sea levels or extreme storms to help learn about earth science and climate change. If you are in an earthquake-prone area, use that to study plate tectonics.[5]
    • Integrate chemistry with environmental studies by testing local water and soil samples.
    • Taste test more acidic and more alkaline foods to see how chemistry impacts what you eat.

[Edit]Studying at Home

  1. Start early. Some research suggests that children already start to form negative opinions about science by kindergarten.[6] Start studying science concepts early in your everyday life to see how it is applicable and why it is important.
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 8.jpg
    • Supplement TV time with science programming. Watch shows like Bill Nye the Science Guy, Sid the Science Kid, and Mythbusters to introduce you to basic science concepts in an entertaining way.[7]
    • Ask yourself questions. When you first start with a new scientific subject, getting the concepts right isn't as important as simply encouraging critical thinking. Ask yourself questions like, "Why do you think giraffes have long necks?" on trips to the zoo, or "Why does water solidify when freezing?" when you make a new tray of ice.
    • Remember, it is okay to be wrong. Instead of simply telling yourself that you are wrong, think through the process and guide yourself to new conclusions using new information.
  2. Don't rely on oversimplification. You might not get all the technical concepts of scientific processes, but don't try to oversimplify too much. If you break things down to the point where fundamental information is missing or what you're saying is simply inaccurate, you may suffer in the long run.[8]
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 9.jpg
    • Ask yourself, "Will this change the concept?" before you simplify something in your notes or on a paper. You may not need to understand nuclear fusion for a middle school astronomy report. Still, saying "The sun is a ball of fiery gases and metals", is more accurate than stating "The sun is a ball of fire in the sky."
  3. Say you don't know. You will have science questions that you cannot answer on your own. That is alright. Tell your teacher you don't know, but that you want help finding the answer.
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 10.jpg
    • Saying you don't know reinforces the idea that scientific learning is not about memorizing facts, but rather about critical thinking and investigating.
    • Read through your class materials and textbooks thoroughly to gather the information already available to you.
    • If class materials don't answer the question, look for online resources that can help explain. There may be videos, games, or even another teacher's lesson plan that you could use.
    • Ask to meet with your teacher outside of class to help explain the concept. Tell them "I'd like to learn this so that I can better understand the course content and the subject as a whole."
  4. Learn about scientists. Get inspiration from biographies about famous scientists. Learn about what these scientists' lives were like and what they accomplished that brought good things to the world.
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 11.jpg
    • Find grade-level appropriate biographies about famous scientists such as Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Watson and Crick, and others. You can find these in bookstores or online.
    • Watch short videos to go along with what you're reading. There are a number of online videos dedicated to celebrating great scientists. Watch them before or after you read so you can see why that person still matters today.

[Edit]Exploring Science on Your Own

  1. Visit museums. Museums are great places to see science in action. Go to a museum and spend the day exploring new concepts.
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 12.jpg
    • Natural history museums are great places to find information about biology, ecology, and paleontology.
    • Scientific museums such as museums of science, museums of industry, air and space museums, and others often have hands-on exhibits that allow you to participate in scientific processes in action.
    • Planetariums allow you to explore the solar system, the stars, and universe beyond our earth.
    • Aquariums introduce visitors to underwater ecology as well as environmental and marine conservation.
  2. Go to camp. Many communities have camps meant to foster students' interest in STEM subjects. Day camp, weekend camp, sleepaway camp, and before and after school options are all available.[9]
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 13.jpg
    • There are different camps for different interests. There are camps dedicated to exploring engineering, ecology, physics, chemistry, and more. Explore a subject that interests you.
    • Contact your local community centers and organizations to see if they offer free or low-cost day camps or afterschool programs focused on scientific inquiry.
    • Check with local museums and scientific institutions to see if they offer summer and/or weekend programs.
    • Look at national programs such as Space Camp (https://www.spacecamp.com/) or Mad Science (https://www.madscience.org/).
  3. Use technology. Technology is increasingly impacting the content and the ways students learn. Use new technologies to teach yourself scientific subjects in ways that make sense to you.
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 15.jpg
    • Programs like Crash Course, Khan Academy, and others have full subject content including videos, lesson plans, and assignments online and through social media platforms to help learners from the elementary school level up through college.
    • There are smartphone and tablet apps for almost any scientific subject you will study. Apps like Project Noah and Journey North allow you to participate in citizen science programs right from your phone. Others, such as NASA Visualization Explorer and goREACT, demonstrate concepts and allow for experiment simulations on the phone that would be too difficult in class.[10]
  4. Become a citizen scientist. Get involved with a program that aligns with what you are studying in school, and help contribute data to real scientific studies all over the world. Many of these are no-commitment required programs, so you only contribute when you feel you can.
    Enjoy Studying Science Step 14.jpg
    • Help NASA identify interstellar dust particles with Stardust@home[11], or work with Galaxy Zoo to classify galaxies.[12]
    • Learn about synthetic biology by playing games that build machines out of our DNA.[13]
    • Contribute to biological research about dogs simply by playing with your pup and reporting your findings to the Animal Ownership Interaction Study.[14]
    • Search online databases such as SciStarter to search for citizen scientist projects relevant to your studies.

[Edit]Tips

  • For fun and easy science experiments for kids that are safe to do at home, check out online resources.[15]
  • Try not to encourage negative connotations with scientific study. Say things like "Chemistry is not my best subject," instead of, "I hate chemistry."

How to Make Cappuccino Foam

Posted: 08 Nov 2019 08:00 AM PST

A cappuccino is a coffee drink made with espresso and steamed milk.[1] The most striking thing about this drink is the milk foam on top. A soothing, consistent layer of foam is what sets a great cappuccino apart from lesser drinks. There's a greater part art than science in making the perfect cappuccino. Although it takes time to perfect the timing and method of pouring, having a firm knowledge of the basics will get you on your way towards the ultimate cup.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Making the Foam with a Steam Pitcher

  1. Pour brewed espresso into your cappuccino cup. Although specifics will depend on the type of cappuccino and the person making it, cappuccinos are roughly one quarter espresso and three quarters steamed milk.[2] Pour your desired amount of brewed espresso into a large cappuccino cup before you steam the milk. That way, you'll have everything ready so you can pour out the steamed milk while it's still piping hot.

    Make Cappuccino Foam Step 1 Version 3.jpg
  2. Fill a steam pitcher with cold milk. Steam pitchers are specifically designed to heat liquid through steaming. Most traditional cappuccinos are served as 6 ounce portions, although many North American outlets prefer a 12-ounce version. Use 3/4 cup to 1 1/2 cups of milk, depending on your preference.

    • Non-fat milk is best if you're looking to get the most foam.[3] However, non-fat milk will lack the creamy taste of its fatty alternative. It's up to you whether you favor foam or flavor.
    • Alternatives to steaming with a steam pitcher include using a metal pitcher with a steam wand, using a frother or shaking up the milk in a jar. An authentic cappuccino will rely on steaming, however.
  3. Steam the milk until it's hot. Steaming milk gives cappuccinos their heat and bubbly quality. You should aim to keep your steamed milk between 140 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit. For the sake of drinkability, it's important not to steam milk past 170 degrees. Depending on the steamer and the amount and temperature of the milk you're steaming, steaming can take between 10-40 seconds in most cases.[4] It's a really good idea to have a thermometer at hand to put in the milk. That way you can make sure it's the exact temperature you want without having to resort to guesswork.

    • If you don't have a thermometer, you can gauge the temperature increase by putting your hand up against the outside of the pitcher. Wait until the pitcher starts to get warm to the touch. When the outside of the pitcher gets uncomfortably hot, it should be an indicator that the milk has steamed long enough.[5]
  4. Use your steamed milk quickly.[6] The longer steamed milk is left out, the less palatable it will be in a cappuccino. Milk is very sensitive to heat, and should only be steamed right before it's injected into the cappuccino mug. If you're making a larger batch of cappuccinos at once, hold off from steaming a large quantity of milk at once. Milk that is heated and reheated gets stale and loses its potential for foam.

  5. Pour the hot milk into the cappuccino cup.[7] A cappuccino should be served in a coffee cup, and you'll ultimately need to combine the milk with the espresso. The trick here is to pour the milk in slowly. Any quick movements will risk compromising the foam. Level out your pitcher slowly as you pour.

    • One way to save the most foam for your top is to take a spoon and use it to trap in the foam at the top of the pitcher. When the pitcher is almost empty, you can pour out the foam.
    • Even out the foam with a spoon if it's poured out unevenly.
  6. Tell the difference between a good and bad foam.[8] Getting a perfect foam ultimately depends on your skill. With that in mind, it may take a few times before you get the kind of foam you want. However, you'll need to be able to distinguish a failure from a success to do so. A proper cappuccino foam should be even and soft. A bad foam will look very foamy and might risk frothing off the sides.

    Make Cappuccino Foam Step 6 Version 3.jpg
    • There are two main reasons that could be the cause of a less-than-desired foam result. First, the steamed milk needs to be poured at the right depth. Secondly, the heat may of the steamed milk may have been too high to properly settle into soft bubbles.
    • Don't be discouraged if you get a bad foam the first time you try it. Perfect coffee beverages require a lot more skill that people give it credit for. Each time you try, you'll get a bit closer to figuring out the subtle movements involved in it.

[Edit]Using Other Methods to Make Foam

  1. Use a steam wand with a chilled metal pitcher.[9] A steam wand will heat up your milk in a way doesn't affect the taste of the milk. Dip your steam wand into the milk until its approximately a centimeter away from the bottom of your pitcher. As heat tends to rise, steaming it from the bottom up will ensure that your milk heats evenly.

  2. Try a milk frother. Unlike a steamer, where the bubbles are a welcome side effect, a frother is specifically designed to give milk bubbles. They're relatively inexpensive and can be purchased online if need be.[10] Put your frother tip about a centimeter below the surface and hold it under for approximately 20 seconds while it froths. Move the frother slowly around the cup to make sure the bubbles are even.

    • If you use a frother, you won't need to use a steamer to heat the milk. In that case, milk can be heated on stovetop or in the microwave.
  3. Shake up your milk for an easy froth. If you're making a cappuccino, it's assumed that you're wanting to go for quality over convenience. All the same, you can get a functional froth by shaking milk up before heating it.[11] Put a cup of cold milk into a sealed jar or container. Shake it vigorously for up to a minute. Immediately after, throw it in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds. The heat is necessary for a proper cappuccino, but heating the milk will also stabilize the microbubbles you'll have formed from the shaking.

    • This is a good quick fix, and recommended if you're not particular about your cappuccinos. Keep in mind, however that your foam won't look nearly as good as if you steam it.

[Edit]Presenting Your Cappuccino

  1. Draw art on your cappuccino. Drawing a design atop your cappuccino can be done through purposeful movement as you pour the milk into your espresso cup. It is very tricky to do and can take months for some baristas to get the proper hang of it. However, leaving a simple heart or swirl pattern on the top of your cappuccino foam can make it look all the more professional and classy when it's served. There are lots of possible designs for all different skill levels.[12]

    • For a heart shape, begin pouring in the centre and let shift the pour from side to side.[13]
    • If your steamed milk is really foamy, latte art will be virtually impossible.[14]
  2. Add cinnamon and chocolate flakes to your foam. Cappuccinos are valued for their presentation almost as much as their taste. Cinnamon and chocolate flakes will help to add to both. Once you have your foam settled, sprinkle these on as an afterthought. Even if you're making it from home, this technique can make your cappuccino look like a professional delicacy.

    Make Cappuccino Foam Step 11 Version 3.jpg
  3. Use proper cappuccino cups. Cappuccino cups should be small, plain, elegant and handled. Depending on the size of your cappuccino, the cups you choose should hold up to 12 ounces. Cappuccinos take more effort to make than regular coffee, so you shouldn't use any old cup for it. Even if you think aesthetics don't matter, you may nonetheless find you enjoy the drink more if you put due respect into the way it's served.

    Make Cappuccino Foam Step 12 Version 3.jpg
    • Make sure the cup size matches the amount of cappuccino you're serving. Cafe culture tends to value smaller sizes in order to emphasize taste over gorging. Even if you only have a certain amount of cappuccino to drink, putting it in a cup that's too big will rob it of some of its visual appeal.
  4. Serve with small cookies. Cookies, biscotti, brownies, muffins or other pastry snacks are a longtime friend of cappuccinos and other coffee drinks. Put a couple of cookies on a plate next to your cappuccino. In doing so, you'll elevate it from a drink to a multi-part cafe experience. Enjoy!

    Make Cappuccino Foam Step 13 Version 3.jpg

[Edit]Tips

  • The word "cappuccino" is derived from the Capuchin Monks. The drink got its name from sharing a similar color to the clothes they were known for wearing.[15]

[Edit]Warnings

  • Coffee products shouldn't be served in larger portions than 12 ounces. Some cafe aficionados will snub their noses at sizes greater than 6 ounces. Depending on who you're trying to impress (if anyone) this may be something to keep in mind.
  • Cappuccinos are hot. Be careful not to burn yourself while you're making one.

[Edit]Things You'll Need

  • Fresh cold milk (at least one cup)
  • Brewed espresso
  • A pitcher
  • Cinnamon and other add-ons
  • A steam wand
