Nespresso Aeroccino 3 Milk Frother Black - Complete Standalone Unit

Product Information

Traditional coffee purists among us may have chosen to focus on the quality of the bean or espresso machine, but for some of us, the enjoyment is all in the perfect, luxurious foam. I have been successful cleaning the milk frother by just adding a little dish soap a little water and pushing the heat froth button. This is probably a bit more cautious than necessary, but we can't recommend doing anything with this machine that its instructions forbid. If it is necessary to stop the Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother whilst in operation the base can be turned off with a switch on the side. As Boots says, most of us are using machines with steam wands for steaming, which gives much more control.

Recently, the plain whisk has been coming off while whisking and I find it sitting on the bottom of the frother when I pour the milk. It’s frothed my skim milk quietly with no troubles since I brought it home, although my friend mentioned it took her a few tries to find the right brand of almond milk that frothed (she recommends Pacifica). By the end of a 6 pint container it might be less fresh - or was maybe on the shelf longer before purchase. I’m using my second Nespresso milk frother and I’ve not had a problem like this with either of them.

In recent years, making a cup of coffee at home has stepped up several notches, with instant granules shunned in favour of barista-worthy beverages. Original frother beater had lost its magnetism and would not revolve properly to whisk the milk, hence no froth.

Perfectly frothed milk should have an inviting sheen, almost like wet meringue, with the bubbles so small they can’t be individual While it’s hard to beat our favourite barista brew, many of us took the opportunity in the height of the pandemic to master a DIY coffee.Also keep in mind that creating foam takes up a lot of space inside the Nespresso milk frother, so the capacity increases when you simply want to heat your milk instead of froth it.

If you turn it upside down it should still remain in situ even though gravity is trying to make it drop off. To complement our own first hand experience, we draw from reputable sources within the industry, including coffee communities such as the coffee and espresso SubReddits, and a number of specialty coffee forums and private groups. It lies very near to the motor which might add to the heat in this area and reduce air circulation at this place within the container.On the base you’ll find the four settings symbolised on separate buttons, making this one of the clearest frothers to use. The Nespresso milk frother is incredibly quiet and, in just fifteen seconds, it will quickly produce quality milk-froth for use in any of your favorite espresso drinks. It can make all your favourite coffee beverage recipes, but can also be used to prepare treats like hot chocolate and mulled wine! I never heard any loud whooshing sounds, and the coffee stayed hot while we ate breakfast outside on her balcony in the cool morning air.

From pulling espresso shots in hipster filled cafés, to roasting beans to perfection or tinkering with espresso machines - we've been there, done that. Editor’s Note (September 2023): We originally published our review of the Nespresso Aeroccino4 Milk Frother in 2021. It is one of the largest appliances we tested, although the built-in cord storage on the base will keep your kitchen looking neat. My wife has also bought a Dualit milk frother for times when we have guests and need more milk all at once.

Its Aeroccino4 Milk Frother completes the set of tools you need to make barista-level coffee drinks at home.
