To be or not to be. Homemade Cappuccino vs Latte. And Keurig is here with the most magical solution…
Hello my baking nation.
How have you been? Never mind, I can’t wait for the answer. I am so happy to share this magical solution with all of you. And you know who you are.
Yes, I am talking to all of you, coffee, cappuccino and latte addicts.
For a months and months I was on a secret mission. Testing, testing and testing.
Trying, trying and trying…and I almost was certain that this post will never happen until I discover the one and only…
KEURIG MAGIC FROTHER!
And then the stars started to sing, 5 of them …. homemade cappuccino and latte. And as I was looking at the sky I went to Superstore and bought the little magical machine that will change my coffee life in the way I can’t explain.
Yes, I know the addict is speaking…and sharing with you the best solution for homemade cappuccino or latte. And we finally have it.
DESCRIPTION OF HOMEMADE CAPPUCCINO
What is a good cappuccino?
Well, let me start with this. It has three layers.
One part of coffee + one part of the steamed milk + one part of magical white foam!
Yes, three layers of magic that will go into your body, touch your soul in the way that human can’t and make you so happy. And really what is the happiness if not cup of cappuccino, tea or coffee? Yes, I know! Or should I say I know that I know nothing. Not really, it was opinion of Socrates and he knew nothing about the cappuccino.
Speaking of history, when the cappuccino drink was introduced in Italy, it was named after Cupuchin friars. Why? Because of the color. Yes the color of the Capuchin robe is similar to the color of the espresso mixed with frothed milk.
So, to make cappuccino at home you need to follow 3 steps:
- Prepare the espresso or coffee
- Create the frothy milk
- Find your magical cup and pour into it.
HOW EASY WAS THAT? SUPER EASY!
So, let’s start with the list called…

Working and making the best milk froth.
After about 2 minutes the button flashes then turns off which means the magic happen.
Remove the lid and enjoy for the moment.

You will need the small spoon to transfer all of that white magic on top of steamed milk.

Of course if you use the smaller cup…you can share.
Quick Note for Keurig Frothing Success
MILK – use 3.25% . Yes, this was my magical secret success.
If you use 2% milk – did not work for me. Yes, it did not. To be honest, yes I got the foam but not like when I use 3.25% milk.
Almond Milk – I did not try. Let me know if it works for you.
So, let me share the secret for success using Keurig frother!
USE 3.25 % MILK
FINAL NOTE FOR Homemade Cappuccino vs Latte in 6 minutes
Cappuccino vs Latte. Well, let’s be honest it is not cappuccino vs latte. Not really?
Why? Because the Keurig made it easy. It is cappuccino and latte. You just need to buy the most magical machine called Milk Frother. And let it happen.
Now, the question is what is really the difference between two coffee drinks?
Cappuccino has an even distribution of coffee, steamed and foamed milk.
If you think the perfect cappuccino the number must be 1 to 1 ratio of liquid to foam. (yes, so weight your drink if you are looking for the perfect ratio)
A latte has way more steamed milk than cappuccino. Also, the top foam is way lighter.
And visually a cappuccino is distinctly layered (you can see dark coffee bottom, then steamed milk and top white foam perfection. For the latte the espresso and steamed milk are blended together.
Also, because the latte is made with more milk … it has more calories.
