Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

To make a cappuccino, you will need the following ingredients:

• Keurig cappuccino maker
• Keurig cappuccino K-cup pod
• Milk
• Chocolate powder (optional)

Step 3: Brew the Coffee

Step 4: Froth the Milk

• Use the milk frother to create a thick, foamy texture.

Step 5: Add the Frothed Milk

• Gently pour the frothed milk over the brewed coffee.

Step 6: Add Chocolate Powder (Optional)

• If desired, sprinkle chocolate powder on top of the cappuccino for a rich, decadent flavor.

Step 7: Enjoy!

Additional Tips for the Perfect Cappuccino

• Use fresh, cold milk for the best frothing results.
• Don’t over-froth the milk, as this can make it too airy and thin.
• Experiment with different types of milk, such as almond milk or soy milk, to find your favorite flavor combination.
• Add a cinnamon stick or nutmeg to your cappuccino for a warm, aromatic touch.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• My cappuccino is too weak: Use a stronger K-cup pod or brew two cups of coffee into one mug.
• My cappuccino is too bitter: Use a milder K-cup pod or add more milk.
• My cappuccino is not frothy: Heat the milk until it is steaming and use a milk frother to create a thick, foamy texture.
