Just got super cappuccino maker from my son for Xmas

Uses tassimo method/pods/capsules

For cappuccino it needs both coffee pod and frothy milk pod but it doesn't say which should go in the cup first

I'm sure when they make it in cafe they put frothy milk in first and then pour thick black coffee through it

Anyone got one these and figured it out

Milk first or coffee first???

Is it same way for cafe latte????

Coffee first always.

Milk is steamed and poured slightly differently for a cappuccino its frothier than a latte.

The dif between the 2 as far as I know if the ratio of coffee to milk??
But always coffee first.

If you google latte art it tells you to pour the milk through the coffee??

Yep, definitely always coffee first (I lived in Italy for 5 yrs so know about these things!!).

One thing that really irritates me though, it's cafe latte, NOT latte. Latte is milk pure and simple. My irrationality may be caused by having 'slept' in Romes Fiumicino Airport because of non existent fog (Ariel Sharon being a fat git and taking too long at his state banquet in reality) and having irritating Americans screeching that the Italians "don't even know what a latte is!!!". If I had had a machine gun that morning I would of mown the t**ts down!

Its the ratio of frothed milk

There should be less froth on a latte than a cappuchino and the froth should not be as heavy just a small layer on the top for a latte also there is no chocolate sprinkled on a latte.

Agree always coffee first.

You'll need to tell the tassimo manufacturers that cuz latte milk pod is 3 times bigger than cappucino milk pod

Steam the milk first and then pull your shot into the (warmed) cup and pour the frothy milk in the cup straight away so that the espresso doesn't go bitter. When I've frothed my milk, I tap the jug on the counter top a few time and swirl the milk around so that the liquid gets mixed in with the froth, which usually yields a good ratio of coffee to milk to froth.


edit: D'oh! Just saw that it uses a frothy milk pod... sorry, I have no idea how to use one of those.

Coffee first. Just to confuse things, a latte made milk/froth first then coffe becomes a macchiato (the coffee sits in the foam to give a stronger taste than a latte). If you add vanilla syrup and then drizzle caramel on top, you have the caramel macchiato.

I think it becomes a latte macchiato, and an espresso or caffe macchiato is a shot of espresso, 'marked' with froth.

Well there should be more milk in a latte but less froth.
Not idea about those tassimo things.
