Frequently Asked Questions

Can I adjust the recipe proportions?

Yes, all recipes are adaptable. You can use more or less milk, change the coffee intensity, or adjust ingredients according to your personal preference.

What type of milk is best for recipes?

Whole milk produces better foam and creaminess. However, almond, oat, and soy milks also work well with the Caffitaly frother for plant-based options.

Can I prepare these recipes with cold coffee?

Many recipes can be adapted for cold versions. Prepare the normal espresso and pour it over ice, or cool it before mixing with cold milk and ice.
