Nespresso Aeroccino 3 Milk Frother Black - Complete Standalone Unit

Product Information

Now that I’ve used it for myself, I should have never questioned the price. (Besides, even on its own, I see it regularly on sale for less than retail). It only took a single morning to understand that in the exact same time it took to brew a pod coffee, I could have foamy warm milk, which when poured into my morning cup of joe, elevated my entire morning routine. The whisk has magnets in it (prove it by spinning it over a compass). Inside there is a motor with magnets on the spindle which interact with the magnets in the whisk and spin it around. The attraction between the two sets of magnets is what holds the whisk onto the post.

With the Aeroccino, you’re paying extra for the convenience of one-touch functionality, which is perfect for multitasking and busy mornings. VERSATILITY: This Nespresso milk frother has a simple one touch operation, and you use one second of button pressure for hot milk and froth, and two seconds of button pressure for cold milk froth While I’d advocate that any milk frother would be a morning game-changer, I’ve been really impressed with how easy it is to use the Nespresso Aeroccino 3. 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).On the inside of the Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother’s jug, you’ll find two max indicator lines. The first line, marked at 120 ml, is for drinks that require dense milk foam. You’d pour milk to this point for macchiatos and cappuccinos. If it is necessary to stop theNespresso Aeroccinomilk frother whilst in operation the base can be turned off with a switch on the side. Pouring The Milk Out I seem to remember seeing posts on the internet in the past about this problem but I don’t remember a particular solution. Except there is a solution held by fixya but I think you need to phone them to get the answer. That might cost you.

Overall, Nespresso Aeroccino 3 has a simpler design. The pitcher is made of stainless steel, but the plastic casing makes it feel less durable. The base is flush with the cylinder and mostly invisible. The frother has a single button that you press to create hot or cold milk froth (it glows red for hot milk and blue for cold milk froth). It does not have a spout, so I had to be more careful when pouring. But if you don’t have a dishwasher or prefer not to use one, this isn’t a problem. Some users may prefer washing their frother by hand to make sure that they get it properly clean, and in that case, the choice may just come down to personal preference. ConclusionThe addition of a pour spout is a huge game-changer over the Aeroccino 3 since it gives you more control over your pour for added safety (and better latte art!) One of my commenters (Craigh) found his spiral whiskgot contaminated. I suggest that, “If a whisk gets a build up of milk or calcium on it, then try soaking it in a strong solution of bicarbonate of soda orcalcium descaler. Ahalf hour should be enough time. Brush it clean with a toothbrush.”

The Aeroccino 3 milk frother also comes with two interchangeable whisks – one to stir and one to froth the milk. Nestle have even made a convenient storage pod in the machine where you can easily store the whisks when they’re not in use. How Much Milk Can Be Foamed at Any One Time?On the other hand, it’s slightly heavier than Aeroccino 3. Here are the exact dimensions and weight. Overall, both the Aeroccino 3 and Aeroccino 4 Nespresso milk frothers are great value for the money if you make milk-based coffee drinks on a regular basis. The older model Aeroccino 3 is about two-thirds the cost of the new Aeroccino 4, and might be the better value of the two if you don’t have a strong desire to pour latte art and don’t mind swapping out the two disks. It’s dishwasher safe, which is a huge convenience for daily users who don’t want to handwash their frother after every use.

I find it interesting that it lies under the point where milk burns on the bottom of the bowl. It is obviously the point that got hottest in my case and I have seen them burnt out just here in other pictures I have seen on internet videos. It lies very near to the motor which might add to the heat in this area and reduce air circulation at this place within the container. This love affair I have with a milk frother began innocently when a close friend and mentor offered to make me an espresso while staying with her for a few days. "Sure," I said and asked for some milk to go with it. Soon after, she was serving me a cup of espresso, with warm milk, foamed on top. I never heard any loud whooshing sounds, and the coffee stayed hot while we ate breakfast outside on her balcony in the cool morning air. While it’s a more basic machine than the Nespresso Aeroccino 4, there’s no denying that the Aeroccino 3 is a quality frother that will get the job done right, consistently. While there are a few differences, if you’re willing to sacrifice a few nice design elements, you’ll still get yourself a great little machine at a more affordable price. Nespresso Aeroccino 4 You have limited counter space: If you’re short on space, the Aeroccino 3 is much more compact than the Aeroccino 4. But if that still doesn’t fit your kitchen, consider a hand-held frother like the Powerlix instead. Keep in mind that hand-held frothers only whip the milk, they don’t heat it. So you’ll also need a stovetop or microwave handy. If you’re making for two or more for friends you’ll need to prepare one cup after another, but this is norm for virtually all milk frothers. And most can only prepare one latte glass/cappuccino worth of milk at any time.It didn't take long to discover that the Aeroccino 3 is the perfect morning gadget—even if you’re half asleep you can operate it without fear of messing up or, even worse, burning yourself. Pour cold milk to the first fill line, attach the plastic lid, and set the Thermos-looking vessel onto its base. Briefly press a button and let the round whisk-like piece inside quietly whirl your milk into frothy goodness. Stretching is the process of adding air into the milk.…Texturing, on the other hand, is what happens when you create a milk vortex in the jug. 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.
