Nespresso Aeroccino Plus Milk Frother Review: Worth It?

*The Nespresso Aeroccino Plus has been continued and I now recommend it’s improved successor, the Nespresso Aeroccino3*

If you’ve seen any of my other reviews you’ll know I have an unusual passion for anything frothed. From my purchase of the Kuissential SlickFroth to the counter-consuming Ninja Coffee Bar I’ve tried just about everything.

So you can imagine my pleasure when I learned that there was a happy medium. An appliance that was far less messy than a handheld frother but wouldn’t leave my wife without any counter space for her 6 place bagel toaster.

The Nespresso Aeroccino Plus Milk Frother.

So of course I bought one. Any if there’s something I own that is related to coffee or food you can bet that I’ll be telling you about it.

So here it is in short.

The Nespresso Aeroccino Plus is a great addition to your coffee appliance stable. It easily froths milk without a mess for cappacinos and other hot drinks. It froths and/or steams many types of milk and is the perfect addition to your coffee maker of choice.

Whether you choose to use the milk frother every day or only once in a while, the Nespresso Aeroccino Plus is a great choice for consistently easy specialty coffee drinks.

If you don’t have one, you probably should.

But if you’re here for the long haul, let’s talk about the benefits of this milk frother and how to use it.

Nespresso Aeroccino Plus Milk Frother: Impressions & Use

The Nespresso Aeroccino Plus is designed for anyone to be able to use it. There is no need to have previous experience making specialty drinks to enjoy the full perks of this kitchen tool.

This simple tool can sit on your kitchen counter and take up nearly zero space. It is the size of a large-ish mug, holding up to 130 ml of frothed milk or 250 ml of warm milk. The compact milk frother is designed to take up the least amount of space possible, so you don’t need to worry about a cluttered kitchen counter.

The cover helps the Nespresso frother maintain a low volume while you whip up your favorite drinks. This design feature means that no matter what time in the morning you are getting ready, you don’t need to worry about waking anyone else in your home. Unlike a traditional milk steamer, you won’t hear a high-pitched whir. The Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother excels in quiet coffee preparation.

Most at-home espresso machines require that you know at least a little about specialty drink preparation. The Nespresso Aeroccino Plus is much easier to use than most. The simple design of this milk steamer is unparalleled, allowing you to make a specialty coffee regardless of previous experience.

To use the milk frother, simply put in the amount of milk you want. Press the button and let the Aeroccino do its job.

With a double-whisk system, the Aeroccino Plus is a step above most other milk frothers. The first, a paddle whisk, causes the milk to heat evenly, while the wire whisk whips milk into foam. You can even make iced cappuccinos by only holding the button for a couple of seconds for a cold froth.

Using the Aeroccino Plus means you will have milk for any drink in fewer than 70 seconds. In just over a minute of steaming, you can make any coffee drink you’re craving.

Cleaning The Nespresso Aeroccino

A lot of milk steamers on the market do not come apart. As a result, cleaning is more difficult as you try to clean around the electrical component and tight spaces.

When using this coffee tool, you won’t stress over cleaning your supplies. The base of this Nespresso milk frother detaches from the container, allowing you to fully submerge the frother in water. The pieces are not dishwasher-safe, but they are very easy to clean after being taken apart.

Choose the Nespresso Aeroccino Plus if you are looking to have a milk frother that is always clean and very easy to work with. On the lower end of the milk steamer price range, you can have the best value with great functionality.

Can The Nespresso Aeroccino Plus Milk Frother Make A Cappuccino?

Making a cappuccino at home has never been easier than it is today. All you need is fine coffee grounds, steamed milk, and your favorite coffee cup.

Brew your coffee stronger than you normally would to make it more espresso-like. If you have the option to use a coffee maker with pressurized functions, you should use that to make your espresso base.

Next, use the Nespresso Aeroccino Plus to make milk foam, like you see baristas do with a big, expensive machine with a steaming wand. Simply pour the amount of milk you desire into the Aeroccino Plus, and heat it for the necessary time (70-100 seconds for a hot beverage).

Once your milk is frothed, combine it with the espresso. Fill your coffee cup two-thirds with espresso, pour your milk slowly and mix it just as slowly. Stop mixing as you near the top of your cup, and let some of the foam sit on top.

Nespresso Aeroccino Plus: The Easiest Specialty Coffee Machine

If you are looking for a way to spice-up your home coffee life then this is one of the best and easiest options.

It is a well designed a easy to use option that can make your morning just a little bit better.
