Nespresso, Aeroccino4 milk frother Schiuma latte, in silver, code 4192

Product Information

When it comes to the best milk frother, the Latteo from Bodum is a standout choice. It shares the same high-quality construction as Bodum's renowned French presses, featuring a borosilicate glass jug and a plastic plunger lid. It has a stainless steel and rigid plastic outer casing. But I find the look of the Nespresso Aeroccino 4 a bit old-fashioned as it does not match the vibe of most modern kitchens. Since Nespresso is famous for its sleek yet modish look, we expect something equally extraordinary for its frother line. Still, other than the looks, it functions great! Usability This is not the only detachable milk frother on the market, so why does it stand out enough for us to recommend it ahead of the others? One reason is its frothing power. It created such fine foam with whole milk that we could scoop it with a spoon and still retain its shape. Another advantage is that it has four frothing modes, all accessed by the touch of a button. There's a setting for hot milk foam, cold foam, and hot chocolate, and a separate whisk attachment for plain hot milk.

Cheyenne Elwell is a freelance writer specializing in food and coffee. Her work has appeared in Business Insider, Insider, MSN, and her coffee blog BakedBrewedBeautiful.com. She recommended the Nespresso Aeroccino, which we later tested in our Lab. In our tests, we found that the Powerlix Pro was able to froth four ounces of whole milk, almond milk, and oat milk in under one minute. Its powerful motor and whisking mechanism create rich and velvety froth with ease. Additionally, if you prefer your frothed milk warm, simply warm it in the microwave for an additional 30 seconds to achieve the desired temperature. Okay, so I love to make Latte Macchiatos when I run out of cold brew, and for that, I froth oat milk at about 155°F. In a traditional steam wand, the texture of the foam is determined by the position of the steam wand’s tip relative to the surface of the milk. The more exposed the tip is, the larger your bubbles will be. 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

Just like kids growing up in one family, we can trace common features and various peculiarities in all three of the frothers. Let’s review the main differences in the elements of their design, cleaning options, functionality, and certainly their price. Design Elements If you’re frothing milk with the coil ring, you should never go over the lower maximum line. If you do, the machine could overflow. For example, Aeroccino 4 has two hot frothing options so that you can have more control over the texture of your desired froth. If you’re big into latte art or are on the hunt for that perfect espresso drink, this is a huge plus!

However, the Aeroccinos don’t provide the same level of control and customization as a traditional wand. Using a steam wand is a learning curve, but you can deliver the perfect aeration and stretch the milk exactly to your liking. That matters as different milk (dairy, oat, etc) froth differently, and a solid heating element can produce some excellent steam for microfoam.Here are some frequently asked questions by Nespresso customers about this milk frothing system. Why is my Nespresso frother not frothing? Pros: Cafe-quality steamed and frothed milk, compact for what it does, sturdy, high-quality stainless steel components built to last Another pro tip for steaming milk with your Aeroccino is to use cold whole milk. This type of milk tends to make the creamiest frothed milk. 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.
