Keurig K-Cafe Feautures
The K-Cafe is one of Keurig’s many models of single-serve coffee makers. What makes the K-Cafe different from other Keurig models is that you can make lattes and cappuccinos with it.
The frother is already built in the coffee maker and comes with a milk jug so you won’t have to buy a separate one. Aside from making hot lattes and cappuccinos, you also have the option to create an iced version.
The K-Cafe also allows you to brew a stronger shot for your coffee. As with other Keurig coffee makers, you can also use any K-Cup pods for your regular brewed coffee or your latte and cappuccino.
With these features in one coffee maker, you’ll definitely be able to make your favorite latte and cappuccino recipes easily!
Making Latte and Cappucino Using a K-Cafe
Before we get to the best latte and cappuccino recipes, let’s talk about how you can make a latte and cappuccino with the K-Cafe first.
To Make a Latte or Cappuccino:
- Pour chilled milk into the milk frother until the LATTE or CAPP line mark.
- Place the lid of the frother back and place the frother on the frother base.
- Press the LATTE or CAPP button located on the frother base. If you want to make an iced cappuccino or latte, press the ICED button before pressing the LATTE or CAPP button.
- You will hear a beep indicating that the milk is being frothed. Either the LATTE or CAPP button will also illuminate for about 3 minutes.
- Once the milk has been frothed, you will hear two beeps and the LATTE or CAPP button will no longer light up.
