Final answer:

To prepare a Dry Cappuccino, brew strong espresso, froth the milk until it is very foamy, and then combine by adding the thick foam on top of the espresso in a cup. The dry cappuccino has more foam and less milk than a regular cappuccino, resulting in a 'drier' drink.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prepare a Dry Cappuccino, you will need to follow these general steps:

  • First, brew a strong espresso using a coffee maker. The typical ratio is one or two shots of espresso.
  • Then, steam the milk until you obtain a very frothy and thick foam. Since a dry cappuccino has less milk and more foam than a regular cappuccino, focus on frothing the milk well.
  • Pour the espresso into a cup, and add the milk foam on top. The proportion of foam in a dry cappuccino is higher than in a traditional cappuccino, creating a 'drier' texture.

During the process of making coffee, temperature and volume measurements are crucial. For instance, if you have a beverage that is at 95.0°C and it cools down to 45.0°C in a 7.00-cm-diameter cup, most of the apparent level drop is due to air bubbles escaping. This detail, while not directly associated with making a cappuccino, highlights the importance of considering the physical properties and measurements like temperature and volume in coffee preparation, as these can affect the final product.
