When I first set out to create a healthier morning routine, I didn’t anticipate kicking my Starbucks habit completely.

The Nespresso Aerocinno has a similar style to the Lavazza a modo mio with a small base and large jug, however with the addition of a particularly comfortable handle for pouring. 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). I’ve had a Nespresso Pixie since June 2012 and at the same time I acquired a Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother (Aeroccino 3 to be precise).The problem I have been facing recently is that the frother is frequently throwing its plain whisk off the post. The Aeroccino is an ultra-simple and fast automatic system for preparation of a light and creamy hot or cold milk froth. It is important, therefore, to rinse the Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother between uses and visually check that there are no deposits on the bottom. This is what gives the foam a thick texture that will hold its shape and give it that melt-in-the-mouth feel. You won’t want to start frothing at this level, as there’s a chance it could overflow and cause some unpleasant burns.

With one single whisk you can now do all your preparations; just pour in the milk and select the desired button to obtain, in no time, a divine milk froth for your favourite recipes. Briefly press a button and let the round whisk-like piece inside quietly whirl your milk into frothy goodness. All you need is a Nespresso machine, a compact Nespresso milk frother accessory, and your favorite milk.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. and their products are not endorsed by, sponsored by, licensed by, or approved by Nespresso USA Inc.

I've recently started off my at-home brewed coffee journey with a Nespresso Inissia and their "Aeroccino 3" milk frother. It is an absolute pain having to clean the wretched stuff off every time you use it, and, like Colin, I am always worried about damaging the stick proof coating.

However the induction heat surface on which the glass jug sits does get hot, so if you experience tremors, are a bit clumsy or have curious children that are prone to touching things they shouldn’t, this might not be the most suitable option. For me, it’s exactly what I need for my coffee: I can pour in warm milk and there’s plenty of froth to spoon on top, creating at least an inch-high layer (if not more). I find that if a large amount of milk is poured at once it doesn’t drip much when pouring stops, but if only a small amount of milk is poured when it is filled to the top mark it can run down the side and drip when pouring stops. The milk splashes up around the seal and probably due to the gap in the lid flange the milk can get into the seal and spread all around it. As Boots says, most of us are using machines with steam wands for steaming, which gives much more control.

What if you could make your favorite espresso drinks each morning in your own kitchen, and for a fraction of the cost? Editor’s Note (September 2023): We originally published our review of the Nespresso Aeroccino4 Milk Frother in 2021.Creamy, dense and with the smallest bubbles, any barista will tell you that the skill to making the perfect cup is all in the way the milk is frothed. So if it is refilled and more milk is heated there is a great tendency for milk to burn onto the bottom. The base can heat up the jug and spin the whisk separately or together, which makes for multiple setting options. I find soaking it overnight in a fairly thick paste of bicarbonate of soda and warm water, and washing with a gentle sponge/scourer helps. I cleaned mine of stubborn burnt on deposits using very hot caustic soda solution – all came off in minutes.
