Adding a Keurig that has an attached milk frother to your kitchen is a great way to bring the latte experience to your home. You can make a latte at home with a Keurig that has a milk frother Which Keurigs have a milk frother? The Keurig K-Cafe Series, K-Latte, and K-Rivo are the only Keurigs with an inbuilt milk frother. The frother is easy to use and provides a convenient frothing option. The Keurig brewers with a frother have a special feature that makes espresso-style shots of coffee for your latte or cappuccino. There are two models under the Keurig K-Cafe Series: the K-Cafe Special Edition and the regular K-Cafe. The Keurig K-Rivo has been overtaken by the K-Cafe and the K-Latte so we will not be covering it here. In this article, we will refer to both K-Cafe options (K-Cafe Special Edition and the regular K-Cafe) as simply Keurig K-Cafe. How the Keurig Milk Frother Works The Keurig milk frother makes both hot and cold froths and has two fill lines: the lower (cappuccino) fill line and the max (latte) fill line. The minimum fill line allows the frother to add more foam for your cappuccino whereas the max fill line adds less foam for a latte. See this latte guide. When adding milk into the frother, take caution not to exceed the max fill line or to go under the minimum fill line. We wrote a separate piece about the differences between milk steamers and frothers which also details how to use different types of frothers. How To Make A Latte With A Keurig Frother The milk frother in K-Cafe has 3 buttons: capp, latte, and cold button. A K-Latte frother features only one button - the power button - and gives a hot froth only.
