Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Chocolate shavings (optional)

Equipment Required:

• Ninja Coffee Maker with milk frother attachment
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Mug or cup

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Grind the Coffee:

• Measure and grind your coffee beans to a fine grind.

2. Brew the Coffee:

• Insert the filter basket into the Ninja Coffee Maker and fill it with the ground coffee.
• Select the “Cappuccino” setting and press the “Brew” button.

3. Froth the Milk:

• While the coffee is brewing, fill the milk frother attachment with cold milk.
• Insert the frother into the milk and press the “Froth” button.
• Hold the frother until the milk reaches the desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes for a thick and foamy texture).

4. Assemble the Cappuccino:

• Pour the brewed coffee into a mug or cup.
• Gently pour the frothed milk over the coffee, creating a layer of creamy foam.

5. Add Chocolate Shavings (Optional):

• If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top of the cappuccino for a decadent touch.

Tips for Perfect Cappuccinos:

• Use high-quality coffee beans for a rich and flavorful brew.
• Grind the coffee beans fresh before each use to ensure maximum flavor.
• Experiment with different milk-to-coffee ratios to find your ideal balance.
• Froth the milk until it reaches a velvety and slightly stiff consistency.
• Don’t overfill the milk frother to prevent spills.
• Clean the milk frother thoroughly after each use to maintain its performance.

Troubleshooting:

• Cappuccino is too bitter: Use less coffee or grind the beans coarser.
• Cappuccino is too weak: Use more coffee or grind the beans finer.
• Frothed milk is too thin: Froth the milk for longer or use a higher-fat milk.
• Frothed milk is too foamy: Froth the milk for a shorter time or use a lower-fat milk.

Variations:

• Wet Cappuccino: Add a splash of steamed milk to the frothed milk before pouring it over the coffee.
• Dry Cappuccino: Use less frothed milk to create a thicker layer of foam on top of the coffee.
• Flavored Cappuccino: Add flavored syrups or cocoa powder to the coffee before or after brewing.
