How does it make a cappuccino? Does it froth milk?

Essentially, yes. Tassimo uses a patented bar-code technology. Using a "cappuccino" UHT milk disk, it reads the bar code on the disk and heats the water passing through the machine to steam temperature so that as it passes through the milk disk, it is "frothed" as it pours into the cup. This is not unlike what it does when reading an espresso t-disk bar-code. It heats the water to steam and then passes it through the coffee disk.

You can press the "stop" button at any time to stop the frother, once you have enough froth. You can also program the machine withyour preferred amount of froth, in effect programming the cappuccino button to make macchiato.

Their new machine, the VirtuoLine does regular coffee as well as espresso drinks. But it does not have the milk reservoir - the one lacking component from my perspective, else I'd have purchased. You can purchase an aeroccino to take care of the latte habit, but I find milk prepared in the aeroccino is just not quite the same as that in a frother.

After each cappuccino or macchiato drink or after making several milk-based drinks sequentially for several people, you will be prompted to RINSE the milk system via an LED message ("C-RINSE") . To rinse the milk system you simply place an empty bowl on the drip tray, press the rotary switch and the machine flushes itself using water from the reservoir. But you're not done yet! Each DAY that you make a milk-based drink you must also CLEAN the milk system. You will not be prompted to CLEAN the milk system (only to RINSE it), so keep this in mind. To CLEAN the milk system, you should place an empty bowl on the drip tray, press and hold the rotary switch until RINSE appears, press the rotary switch to enter the program item (C-CLEAN) and then press the rotary switch to queue-up cappuccino frother cleaning (CLEANER FOR CAPPU). At this point you add a capful of the provided Cappuccino cleaner to about 9 oz of water, lift the milk tube out of your milk container and dip it in the water-cleaner mixture and then press the rotary switch to clean the system. After this is done the machine will flash ("WATER FOR CAPPUCCINO") at which time you will flush the cleaner mix out of the system by lifting the milk tube out of the water-cleaner mixture, dipping it into a 9 oz. glass of clean water and then press the rotary switch. The 3rd and last part (cleaning the dual spout) takes about 1 minute. You simply remove the dispensing unit by pressing two tabs and pulling down, you pull out the two rubber parts, rinse them under the tap, snap them back into the dispenisng unit and press the dispensing unit back into place. Outside of this, the machine automatically cleans/flushes itself when making espresso or coffee but Jura recommends that you rinse the two rubber parts in the dispensing unit periodically as above to keep things clean. I'm sure that a lot of this may sound very complicated on paper but you will be a pro after two tries. This machine really is amazing. Good luck!

I am sure. Using a concentrate liquid no problem with milk it will warm and froth beautifully. There is a heat range and you just have to figure out how hot you want it. We use cocoa and agave and sometimes it is a bit too much for it. Wait until the liquid has started to warm and pop the lid and sprinkle don't dump in the middle using the cappuccino frother attachment not the smooth one.

This was terribly complicated to use. You HAD to have the correct cup, which is very, small and nothing I wanted to fool with. Eventually I decided to look for a frother alone to heat milk & make my normal coffee. I LOVE THIS FROTHER. THE NAME IS "Capresso". You can buy at Bed Bath and Beyond or Amazon. Works great!

Yes it does. I warm 2percent milk (half cup or so) in a 2 cup Pyrex container in microwave. Then immerse Kuissential in the milk and turn on. Makes nice froth for cappuccino. Great little machine!

Hi joe...I put enough milk in the Capresso, to just barely cover up the little spinner...if it doesn't froth enough for you...as sometimes it has milk left in it when you start to pour then the froth...I will turn it on again...BUT...STAND THERE WITH IT...and WATCH IT...as at that point, it could overflow. This amount of milk is enough for a big mug of coffee...I also use 1% which I understand froths better than whole milk...but I have never tried whole milk..Hope this helps...need anything else, let me know!Smiles, Rebecca

The cappuccinatore attachment is the fastest and best way to steam/foam milk with this machine because it does not waste any steam time (you don't get much with this machine) heating the milk (in the cappuccinatore, milk is steamed in a "reactor" that takes very little steam per unit of milk). You can steam/froth 8 oz of milk in about 20 seconds after the steam ready light comes on.

I love this Cappuccino. The foam is contained in part one of the process. The milk comes out of the Dolce Gusto full of air (whipped). the second container the coffee is infused into the whipped milk. don't stir the mixture just sip. If you really like the foamy part of the cappuccino mixture try Nescafe Cafe Menu Cappuccino. this is a product available on Amazon.com shipped from the UK. I have not found it anywhere in the USA. But it is great although a little sweet as it contains sugar which the Dolce Gusto Cappuccino does not.

Well, it has a pump that you prime for a couple of minutes the first time you use it. It pumps the hot water into the coffee basket to make espresso, and it produces sufficient crema. But turn the switch on the side and it also has a spigot to froth milk with steam. Hope that helps.

The boxes you buy for cappuccino, latte, etc. Include 2 separate capsules for each cup you make, one is coffee the other is for the frothed milk. Instructions on the capsules explain how to use them. I love this machine!

Hi, from what I can tell from the instructions yes it does, but the instructions are very confusing. I bought it to make cappuccino but have not been able to figure out the directions yet and I have had the machine for over 3 months!

No. This machine does not froth any sort of milk. There is a recipient behind where you put water - there is no place for milk. I heard the machine "latissima" is the only one that froth milk. I belive you would be able to froth soy milk there. You also can froth milk in the "nespresso aeroccino". Hope this helped!

The machine has a spout on right hand side which is dedicated to speciality coffees. We mainly use it for cappuccino and it is where you connect the tube from the vacuum milk jug to the outlet which automatically aerates the warm milk to give nice frothy cappuccino. When you select cappuccino on the machine you just have to put cup under spout and frothed milk is delivered followed by the coffee - delicious. If you go online to the Jura website you can download the manual for the S9 and see how it works in detail.

Mine took 10-12 minutes , that is before the frother quit working and I had to either buy a manual frother to make cappacino or purchase another espresso maker, it was just over 6 months old, used twice a week at most. I opted to purchase a frother and now get cappacino in about half the time.

TO JUST HEAT UP MILK NO. MAYBE IF YOU DON'T PUT THE ATTACHMENTS ON.There are 3 settings, High Heat, Regular Heat and No Heat(JUST COLD FROTH). 2 Attachments, one for light froth and other Cappuccino.Has level marker inside to pour milk, very hard to see.BUT I'VE ALWAYS FIND MILK A BOTTOM NOT DONE.MOST OF ALL IT'S VERY HARD TO CLEAN.
