To froth milk with your Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista, simply place your cup under the porta-filter and press and hold the Cappuccino Button for three seconds, pressing it again to stop the flow.
The Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista is designed for ease of use, allowing you to quickly froth milk either directly into your coffee beverage or separately for other uses. The process is streamlined using the dedicated Cappuccino button.
Frothing Milk Directly into Your Beverage
For preparing integrated frothed milk into drinks like cappuccinos or lattes, follow these straightforward steps:
- Position Your Beverage: Place the cup containing your brewed coffee or other beverage directly beneath the machine's porta-filter. This is the point from which the frothed milk will be dispensed into your drink.
- Activate Frothing: Locate the Cappuccino Button on your Cafe Barista. This button is typically marked with a cappuccino cup icon (" ").
- Initiate Dispensing: Press and hold this Cappuccino Button for 3 seconds. The machine will then automatically start dispensing frothed milk into your cup, blending it with your beverage.
- Stop Dispensing: Once you have achieved the desired volume of frothed milk, or when your cup is adequately filled, simply press the Cappuccino Button again to halt the flow.
Frothing Milk Separately
If your recipe requires frothed milk to be added independently, or if you prefer to prepare a larger quantity of frothed milk on its own, the procedure is nearly identical:
- Place an Empty Cup: Instead of your prepared beverage, position an empty cup, mug, or pitcher directly under the porta-filter.
- Initiate Frothing: As with frothing into a beverage, press and hold the Cappuccino Button for 3 seconds. The Cafe Barista will begin to dispense frothed milk into your empty container.
- Control Flow: Press the Cappuccino Button a second time to stop the frothing process once you have collected the desired amount of frothed milk.
