Keurig Coffee Latte Recipe

Can you make a latte with a Keurig coffee maker? Well, not directly as the Keurig machines do one thing- make a single serve coffee - and do it incredibly well. However, it is not hard to transform your favorite cup of Keurig into a nice latte using this simple trick.

A caffè latte is typically prepared with approximately 1/3 espresso and 2/3 steamed milk, with a layer of foamed milk topping the drink. It is easy to create a latte with your Keurig coffee maker, particularly if you have the Keurig Milk Frother (but still simple if you dont!)

First, brew up one K-cup of dark-roast coffee - both Caribou Coffee's Mahogany Roast or Sumatra Roast work well, as does Green Mountain's espresso blend. Pour 4 oz. of the brewed coffee into a mug.

Next, heat 6 oz. of low-fat milk in a saucepan on the stove. Reserve 2 oz. of the heated milk to pour into your blender. This creates the foamy froth for the top of the latte. As we saw in our Keurig Milk Frother review, if you have the fantastic Keurig Frother this part is a cinch. The Milk Frother may be around $80 from Amazon, but it will save in the long run as you will not be hitting the local Starbucks anywhere near as often. The machine quickly steams and froths milk, and looks impressive while it does it.

Finally, pour 4 oz. of heated milk into your coffee cup and stir. Blend 2 oz. of milk in the blender until it's nice and frothy. Pour the foam on top of the latte.

Sweeten and dress your latte as you like; a sprinkling of cinnamon, nutmeg or cocoa powder on top makes the best latte.
