The Senseo machine can make three different types of coffee that use foamed milk: cappuccino, cafe latte, and latte macchiato. These aren't real cappuccinos however, since the Senseo system uses only a mild pressure to brew the coffee, and does not make real espresso. The coffee is still delicious and you will save time and effort. Also, you won't require an additional milk frother.
