Overview
The Aeroccino 3 is a countertop milk frother built to pair with a Nespresso machine. One button press heats and froths milk or produces cold froth, depending on how long you hold it down.
A roughly one second press starts hot milk or hot froth, and about two seconds switches it to cold froth, so the same button covers both modes. The body is stainless steel and black plastic, and it shuts off on its own once the cycle finishes.
- 1 second press = hot milk/froth, 2 seconds = cold froth
- Heats to about 160-170 F
- 4.1 oz froth / 8.1 oz hot milk capacity
- Auto shutoff, non stick interior
Who it's for
Suits a Nespresso owner who wants frothed or heated milk without a built in steam wand. Less useful for a household that regularly needs to froth milk for more than one or two drinks at once.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- One button handles hot milk and both froth modes
- Heats milk to about 160-170 F automatically
- Auto shutoff when a cycle ends
- Non stick interior for easy cleaning
- Small capacity: 8.1 oz hot milk, 4.1 oz froth
- Alternative milks may froth less reliably than cow's milk
Performance notes
Internal heating brings milk to roughly 160 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit for the hot settings, and a whisk inside creates the froth rather than a steam wand doing it. The maker notes that cow's milk froths most reliably, and that results with alternative milks are not guaranteed to match.
