Product Information

But some users may not want all the extra settings and are simply looking for a no-fuss milk frother that will give them the frothy milk foam they want without all the extra steps or effort. The Aeroccino 3 is the better option for those users, and even more so at a lower price point. Dishwasher Safe: Is It A Must? If you have the time to be more hands-on, you can go the cheaper route and buy a hand-held frother like the Powerlix frother or the Matcha DNA. Do not Buy the Nespresso Aeroccino Milk Frother If… Meanwhile, you don’t need to mess around with the spring on Aeroccino 4. The different buttons change the whisk speed to get different foam rather than modifying the whisk itself.

The Italian manufacturer Smeg is known for making high-quality appliances with a sleek matte aesthetic, and this milk frother continues that trend. It has seven different settings all controlled by a simple dial. The first setting is for hot chocolate and, after testing it ourselves, we found that the cocoa powder blends smoothly into the milk and that the temperature is ideal to drink right away without burning yourself. The other settings are designed for heating milk with no froth, heating milk with froth, or frothing cold milk. The latter is great for iced coffee drinks.

A wand-style milk foamer is not as powerful as a countertop electric model, but it gives you a lot of control and can easily be stored in a drawer or taken along with you. The NanoFoamer’s wand is made from rugged plastic, and the device includes a case that’s perfect for traveling, if you want to take your coffee show on the road. It’s an effective, powerful device and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it if you can’t get your hands on the less-expensive Golde or if you want a battery-powered option for maximum portability Less milk will lead to a denser foam, so use the 4oz setting for drinks like macchiatos and cappuccinos. Meanwhile, a high amount of milk can’t forth as much, so the 8 oz setting is for drinks that need hot milk with light foam. At 12 ounces, it's enough for a single-serve, or maybe two if you're going small — I make two cappuccinos with mine. It won't take up much cabinet space, but it has enough of a rounded bottom to help roil up your milk (or milk alternative) in a jiffy.

It has a ceramic coating just like the Aeroccino 3, but it doesn’t tend to wear out at the same rate, meaning your machine will last longer. If you're willing to dedicate a little counter space in your kitchen and you want to be able to simply add milk (or a milk alternative), press a button, and wait for an assuring beep that your flawlessly warmed and frothed milk is at the ready, the Nespresso Aeroccino 4 is the best milk frother for you.Most people probably don't want to have a frother the size of a coffee grinder sitting on their countertop, but would rather have something slim enough to stow away in a drawer and forget about most of the time.One standout choice for the best milk frother is the Powerlix Pro. This sleek and slim frother is designed to be space-saving, making it ideal for those with limited countertop space.

Regardless of how you choose to clean the milk frother, it’s important to do so regularly. That way, you prevent milk residue from accumulating and causing jams in the mechanism. If you're interested in experimenting with a milk frother, the world is your oyster. Around the world, there are dozens of coffee-based concoctions that call for frothed or steamed milk. Below are some of our favorites: Admittedly, you can get it by rinsing it out after each use. But, if you’re like me, cleaning up after drinking my morning dose of caffeine is the last thing you want to do, and dishwasher compatibility takes this away. In this article, MilkFrotherTop explores the key features and the main differences between the three nifty options produced by Nespresso – Aeroccino models #3, #4, and Plus. The following Nespresso milk frother review will show you what we have found during our research. Comparison of Nespresso Milk Frothers On the other hand, you have a higher level of control with a steam wand, which means a higher chance of achieving microfoam perfection. However, this has a learning curve, and you’ll probably spend months perfecting your latte art. Recommendation and Which Aeroccino Is For YouThe Aeroccino 3 milk frother lets you prepare both cold foam and hot foam milk. For the first option, just press the button on the device once. Microfoam is basically thousands or millions of very small bubbles that form through the steaming process. It looks like velvety wet paint. You actually can't even see the bubbles. If you're trying to make microfoam at home, be sure to heat up the milk first, then run the milk frother. It won’t work if it’s not heated up." — Paulo Asi, Director of Training at the Seattle Barista Academy What’s the difference between frothed and steamed milk? That said, the countertop models are just a lot easier to use and more versatile than the wands, and what we would recommend for the vast majority of home coffee enthusiasts (even the Bodum Lateo might make more sense in a kitchen since you can heat milk in it). But if you need something very small (maybe you take a manual espresso machine camping or you have a tiny kitchen) you should be satisfied with a wand-style frother. Before you even start using the Nespresso Aeroccino frother, you must consider whether you want steamed or foamed milk. Be careful how much you froth at the high level because the milk frother will overflow with a lot of milk at a high setting! Cleaning and Maintenance
