Product Information

You want three things to intermingle if you're looking for the best foam and to produce the best latte art," he says. "Sugar, proteins, and fats." Regarding non-dairy options, Asi prefers oat milk. He suggests looking for milk alternatives that say barista blend, barista friendly, or barista edition on them to know that they are suitable for coffee drinks.

The standout detail of Secura's Detachable Milk Frother is, naturally, the stainless steel milk jug that can be removed for easy pouring. Our testers found it convenient not only when making drinks, but also for cleaning up after, as the jug is dishwasher safe. 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 FrothersThe Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother takes that steep learning curve out of the equation by making milk froth preparation as simple as the touch of a button.

There are three primary types of milk frothers. There are the multifunctional, countertop electric milk frothers, designed for frothing and heating milk (not for nothing, but they also make amazing hot chocolate). Then there are the electric whisks—handheld and typically battery powered, and popular for blending matcha, mushroom tea, collagen powder, and other powdered drinks. Lastly, there are manual milk frothers, which look a lot like French presses, require no electricity, and are ideal for cold foam. For the purposes of this test, milk frothing capabilities were the primary concern over broad usability. The Breville Milk Cafe is built like a tank, with a price tag to match. Though it is undoubtedly sturdy, this model also takes up a lot of precious counter space. With a 25-ounce capacity, the Breville can froth two cups of milk, the biggest capacity of any frother we tested — it’s a good choice for tall lattes, or hot chocolate. The Breville also lets you precisely control temperature between 120-160 degrees F. This may not be necessary for most users — and we didn’t find having that level of fine-grained control made a big difference in results — but it gives you more control if you want it. The foam is excellent, with the kind of tiny microbubbles that baristas prize. If temperature control is important to you, or if you have a big kitchen, then the Breville certainly produces great results, but for most, the Aeroccino 4 will do the job for a bit less money. If it’s still not working, you may need to change the type of milk you use. Remember that low-fat, low-protein milk will often not froth or steam up as well as whole milk. How do I reset my Nespresso milk frother? 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. This frother doesn’t have a pour spout, which can make pouring out your foam a bit more clumsy, and that’s kind of a let-down for latte art lovers.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. You’ll get a good consistency on a milk frother, but it’s limited to the device settings. I also noticed that the milk comes out very hot on the Nespresso Aeroccino 3 — about 150-160 F, while you want 140-150 F max for steamed milk.

With both models, you’re going to get a quality milk frother that does what it says on the tin: heating and frothing your milk or coffee creamer for espresso drinks. This machine is quite compact and cozy thanks to its dimensions; it will definitely save space in the kitchen. Thus, many owners will be glad to have such device. 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. A downside that may be inconsequential: If I’m being completely honest, I do find the Aeroccino4 to be — how do I put this nicely? — ugly. Whether that matters is up to you. It matters a little to me, but not a ton. One thing to note with any handheld frother, including the Powerlix, is that you do have to preheat your milk or milk alternative. Additionally, some users may find the on/off button on the top of the device a little uncomfortable to press.For hot milk foam, press the button twice within two seconds. That will make sure the machine heats the milk while frothing it. One of the only downsides we encountered is that the temperature isn't consistent. The milk tended to end up hotter than the temperature we selected. It wasn't a major difference, though—the 140-degree setting frothed milk at 151 degrees—and the consistency of the milk froth is, by and large, more important than milk temperature. When it comes to the best milk frother, a reliable and efficient milk-frothing pitcher is a crucial barista tool. Among the options available, the De'Longhi milk-frothing pitcher stands out as a top choice.
