Operating Instructions

The Keurig K-Café Milk Frother Cup works in conjunction with your K-Café brewer to create various coffeehouse-style beverages.

Hot Frothing for Lattes and Cappuccinos

1. After setting up the frother cup with milk as described in the Setup section, select your desired brew size and K-Cup pod for your coffee.
2. On the K-Café brewer, press the LATTE or CAPPUCCINO button. The frother will automatically begin heating and frothing the milk while the coffee brews.
3. Once frothing is complete, the frother will stop. Carefully remove the frother cup from the base.
4. Pour the frothed milk over your freshly brewed coffee.

Cold Frothing for Iced Beverages

The K-Café frother also supports cold frothing for iced lattes and cappuccinos. Note: When making iced beverages, always use a plastic cup. Do not use glass, as rapid temperature changes can cause it to break.

1. Prepare the frother cup with milk as described in the Setup section.
2. On the K-Café brewer, press the COLD button. The frother will begin frothing the milk without heating.
3. Once frothing is complete, the frother will stop. Carefully remove the frother cup from the base.
4. Pour the cold frothed milk over your iced coffee.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your frother cup.

• Dishwasher Safe: The K-Café Frother Cup, Lid, and Whisk are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Place them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
• Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
• Whisk Care: Ensure the magnetic whisk is clean and free of milk residue after each use to maintain proper frothing performance.
• Do not immerse the frother base (part of the K-Café brewer) in water. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Keurig K-Café Milk Frother Cup, consider the following common solutions:

• No Froth or Insufficient Froth:
  • Ensure the whisk is properly seated at the bottom of the frother cup.
  • Check that the milk level is between the MIN and MAX fill lines.
  • Verify that the frother cup is correctly placed in the K-Café brewer's frother base.
  • Use fresh, cold milk. Different types of milk (e.g., skim vs. whole, dairy vs. non-dairy) may produce varying froth consistency.
• Frother Not Activating:
  • Ensure the K-Café brewer is powered on and ready.
  • Confirm the frother cup is correctly seated in its base.
  • Check if the appropriate frothing button (LATTE, CAPPUCCINO, or COLD) has been pressed.
• Milk Overflow:
  • Ensure you have not filled the frother cup above the MAX fill line.
