Set up the espresso machine appropriately
Put the coffee grounds on the coffee filter and add hot water
Pour the espresso into a coffee mug
In the espresso, add 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup
Using a spoon, stir the mixture in the mug
Put the milk in a microwave to warm it for 30 seconds and remove it
Using a milk frother, froth some of the warm milk to form a foam
Add the remaining warm milk into the espresso as close as possible so it can fold in
Using a spoon, scoop as much foam from the milk frother as you can as you add to the espresso with warm milk to make the cappuccino
Top the cappuccino with whipped cream Sprinkle cocoa powder on top of the cream
