Tips for Perfect Keurig K-Cafe Drinks

1. Milk Choices: These recipes are flexible. Use cow’s milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk. Experiment with different flavors like toasted marshmallow, hazelnut, or raspberry.
2. K-Cup Selection: Use dark roasted or espresso-style K-Cups for a robust flavor that won’t get watered down.
3. Frothing: Cold milk froths better, so always start with cold milk. For most drinks, 2% milk works best as it creates nice foam while maintaining creaminess. Whole milk can make mochas and iced coffees extra creamy.
4. Ice Tips: For iced drinks, use 4-5 large ice cubes per drink to avoid watering down your coffee.
