For my birthday I received the
Nespresso Aeroccino Automatic Milk
Frother to
accompany the
Essenza single serve
espresso machine I purchased late last year. This unit is a simple and easy method to produce frothy heated milk and foam for lattes and
cappuccinos. The Aeroccino + has a stainless
steel outer body and
Teflon coated frothing and
heating chamber with a capacity of 6 oz along with two
attachments for steamed milk and frothed milk. The unit draws about 550 watts , is 3 1/2" x 5 3/4" high, and has a very small small footprint. It has no moving parts other than a
magnetically driven frothing wheel - so virtually silent. The run cycle for hot foamed milk is
approximately 50 seconds with heating milk to 165 degrees. I'd prefer my milk
a little hotter; but the ratio of hot
milk and
froth is perfect for a latte or
cappuccino. This model the
Aeroccino + allows for both hot and cold beverages to be made. A simple two second push of the only button puts the unit into a cold frothing mode. A nice touch is the red or blue led back light button to let you
know if you are heating milk and automatic shut-off. User
friendly right out of the box, easy to clean, and a nice companion to the Nespresso machine line.
Approximately $120

Interesting. I always use a simple milk frother, heating the milk manually. I wonder if the consistency is better with Aeroccino...
ReplyDeletePretty similar in texture but convenient all in one process.
