2. Insert the T-Disc

Insert a Tassimo Cappuccino T-Disc into the machine’s T-Disc holder. Ensure it clicks into place securely.

3. Measure the Milk

Pour approximately 180ml (6oz) of cold milk into the measuring jug provided with your Tassimo machine.

4. Select the Brewing Option

On the Tassimo machine‘s control panel, select the “Cappuccino” option. The machine will automatically adjust the brewing time and temperature.

5. Brew the Coffee

Press the start button and allow the machine to brew the coffee. The brewing process takes approximately 30 seconds.

6. Froth the Milk

While the coffee is brewing, use the Tassimo Milk Frother (sold separately) to froth the milk. Follow the instructions provided with the frother.

7. Combine the Coffee and Milk

Once the coffee is brewed, carefully pour the frothed milk over the coffee in your cappuccino cup or mug.

8. Garnish (Optional)

Tips for a Perfect Cappuccino

• Use high-quality Tassimo Cappuccino T-Discs for optimal flavor.
• For a creamier cappuccino, use whole milk.
• Froth the milk until it reaches a velvety consistency.
• Don’t overfill the cappuccino cup or mug with milk to avoid diluting the coffee.
• If you don’t have a Tassimo Milk Frother, you can use a manual frother or heat the milk in the microwave and whisk it vigorously to create a foamy texture.

Troubleshooting

• Bitter Cappuccino: The coffee may be over-extracted. Try using a different T-Disc or adjusting the brewing time.
• Weak Cappuccino: The coffee may be under-extracted. Try using a different T-Disc or increasing the brewing time.
• Not Enough Foam: The milk may not have been frothed properly. Ensure the milk is cold and froth it for a longer duration.
• Machine Not Brewing: Check if the T-Disc is inserted correctly or if the machine requires descaling.

The Science Behind Cappuccino

A cappuccino is a layered coffee drink consisting of a shot of espresso, steamed milk, and a layer of frothed milk. The espresso provides the robust flavor, while the steamed milk creates a velvety texture. The frothed milk adds a layer of sweetness and richness, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.
