    "content_text": "Tassimo Kenco Cappuccino: Four Foam-Topped Cups a Box, in summary: Eight discs, four cappuccinos: every drink takes a milk disc and then a coffee disc. The result is foam-capped, milk-led and barely bitter, best in a wide, warmed cup and left unstirred.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.\nThe number to remember with this box is four, not eight. Every cappuccino uses two discs, and the prepared milk accounts for most of the box's weight, which tells you what the drink is mainly made of.\nWhy a 260g box holds four drinks \nThe box is 260g, so each of its eight discs averages over thirty grams, while a black coffee disc is around nine. The difference is the milk component, and Tassimo's published ingredients for Kenco Cappuccino include concentrated ultra-filtered whole milk. That is why a black disc plus a splash from the fridge cannot make this drink, and why the box is counted in pairs rather than singles.\nThe published label confirms that the drink contains milk. When you work out how long a carton will last, count drinks rather than discs: four cappuccinos a box means a household having one every afternoon gets through it in well under a week. Put side by side with a black coffee carton of sixteen, the two boxes are measuring quite different things.\nMilk first, then leave the foam alone \nLoad the milk disc first and the coffee disc second. The brewer reads each barcode and brews the two parts quite differently; get the order backwards and the foam collapses while the coffee sits underneath, already cooling. Use a wide cup rather than a tall mug, and warm it beforehand, so the foam can spread into a proper cap rather than forming a thick plug in a narrow neck.\nThen do not stir it. The foam is the point, airy and milk-soft, while the coffee below adds depth without much bite, and a spoon turns it into ordinary milky coffee in seconds. If you take sugar or syrup, put it in the cup before brewing rather than digging through the foam afterwards. A dusting of cocoa on top is the one addition worth making, since it is the first thing you smell.\nCappuccino or flat white? \nKenco makes both for Tassimo and they split on foam. This one wears a deep cap and feels airy, with the coffee pushed to the background. The flat white swaps most of that foam for steamed milk, so it is denser and lets more coffee through. If you want to taste the coffee in a milky cup, choose the flat white; if you want comfort, choose this.\nBuyers who come away unhappy tend to be those hoping for strong coffee softened by milk. The drink is built the other way round, milk first with coffee beneath, and taken on those terms it is a very good comfort cup for a slow weekend morning or an afternoon break. It is a caffeinated drink, so bear that in mind before making one late at night.\nThe packs we stock \n\nTassimo Kenco Cappuccino Coffee, 8 Pods 260g (barcode 8711000373156)\n\nWhat the label says \nThe published ingredient list for Tassimo Kenco Cappuccino Coffee, 8 Pods 260g says it contains milk.

Four. Each cup takes one milk disc and one coffee disc.\nWhat happens if the coffee disc goes in first? The foam goes flat and the coffee ends up at the bottom of a cup that is already losing heat. Milk first, every time.\nShould I stir a cappuccino? No. Stirring flattens the foam cap, and the cap is most of what makes it a cappuccino.\nWhat is the milk in the Kenco cappuccino made from? Tassimo's published ingredients for Kenco Cappuccino include concentrated ultra-filtered whole milk, and the label confirms the drink contains milk.\nHow is it different from the Kenco flat white? More foam and less coffee showing through. The flat white carries more steamed milk and only a thin layer on top.\nCurator's note: Wide cup, warmed, milk disc first, and keep the spoon in the drawer. Buy it as a milky comfort drink and it will not let you down.
