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

Product Information

Our Lab team has spent collective decades working in professional kitchens, developing recipes, and testing kitchen gear. For both units, it’s a good idea to use a soft cloth and hot soapy water to clean any milk residue from the inside of the frothing milk jug. The jug’s interior is ceramic, so it’s best to avoid using metal spoons or abrasive brushes as it’ll ruin the coating. Value for Money – 4/5 Nespresso Aeroccino 4 is manufactured with a lot of care and thought into it. It fits snuggly on your kitchen counter sporting a chrome jug, clear lid, a whisk, connector base, and seal. 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

Further, if you use one of the best Nespresso machines and are thinking of adding on a frothing attachment or investing in a fancier machine with a built-in frother, consider this one first. It's not only more powerful, it's also much easier to both use and clean than the frothers built into and added onto the pod machines we've tried. The Nespresso Aeroccino 3 and 4 are much easier to use than a traditional steam wand. Just pour in the milk and push a button. Plus, the steam wand adds water to the milk, which doesn’t happen with a frother. The frothing machine will have a red light on when making hot milk froth, and blue light while making cold milk froth.The 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.

Its four-button interface makes it easy-peezy to use. It weighs just 2.2lbs, so it’s easily portable for travel, just put the Nespresso Aeroccino 4 in your bag with other important items, and there you go. The second indicator line, marked at 240 ml, is for any drink that requires hot milk without foam. You won’t want to start frothing at this level, as there’s a chance it could overflow and cause some unpleasant burns. 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 While the brand touts that this frother runs at 19,000 rpm, we found it to be on par with other handheld frothers in terms of speed. However, it does provide a smoother experience in our hands, which enhances usability.You can froth cold milk with a milk frother, but, again, it depends on the type of frother. Most, if not all, manual and small handheld models will froth cold milk, while many automatic models won't have a cold-frothing setting. The Aeroccino4's jug seems to be fairly delicate in general. The manual says that metal spoons and abrasive sponges can damage its interior finish, as can using it to heat non-milk ingredients like hot cocoa. This is probably a bit more cautious than necessary, but we can't recommend doing anything with this machine that its instructions forbid.

The flashing red light can mean several things, but the primary reason it appears is that the mechanism is overheated. Like most handheld frothers, it's lightweight, small enough to easily store away, and cleaning takes seconds since you only have to spin it in soapy water. We found the grip extremely comfortable, as well. One nice detail that sets the ElitaPro frother apart is that it comes with a whisk for eggs, so you can use it for more than just beverages. The biggest disappointment with this model is that it’s not dishwasher safe, which is a bit of a let-down considering the two models. You will have to hand wash this frother after every use.For smaller drinks, add milk to the Aeroccino up to the bottom line. For bigger drinks, fill the Aeroccino to the second line.
