- How to make frothed milk without a machine, for perfect lattes and cappuccinos. Use an Aerolatte to make foamy, frothed milk. That's frothed and foamy milk, without steam! Aerolatte, a portable device, froths milk in less than a minute & the clean-up is much simpler than a cappuccino machine. The Aerolatte milk frother makes foam for lattes and cappuccinos that stays perky and foamy for over 30 minutes. You can use the Aerolatte with espresso coffee or even regular coffee. The Aerolatte can also be used to mix drinks.

Thanks man you made my life easier. I mean my wife's life. I guess that means my life.
couple goals
lmaooo
Ha! Yes... so goes the saying- "Happy wife, happy life!" May you both enjoy!
Nice comment ☺️☺️😅
The cutest thing I’ve seen all morning 😩♥️
I haven't used mine yet...now I know how! Thanks so much!
And I thank you for watching and commenting! If after you try your new hand frother you have any questions, write back. Also, there are some additional videos I made on this channel that demonstrate the Aerolatte being used in a clear glass and filmed from different angles. They can be useful in terms of seeing technique. Plus you realize just how many different things you can froth- like fruit juices, hot chocolate, and alcoholic drinks. Enjoy!
Yes I have that machine. But I replaced the batteries with a Li-Ion. The 2 batteries are empty in no-time. With a 3.7V Li-Ion the whisk speed is very high.
You're right, the batteries do discharge relatively quickly compared to other electric devices. It's not clear if that is the case with all hand frothers or just the Aerolatte. You've offered a solid solution as far as using rechargeable batteries. When you use the Aerolatte to froth milk right after putting in a fresh pair of batteries, it definitely spins extremely fast. Any faster might actually counter productive. But if the rechargeable batteries maintain that higher speed for longer periods of time (i.e. more uses), that is certainly a great benefit. Thank you for the tip and Happy Frothing!
Pacific Almond Barista coffee creamer works great.

Does it work the same with soy milk?
I haven't tried the Aerolatte frother with soy milk, but in general the higher the fat content of the "milk", the better/easier it is to froth. When whole milk is frothed it’s more stable, "smooth", "velvety" than skim milk, but it will be less voluminous. The opposite is true for skim: you will see a thinner, less stable froth but with greater volume. Some refer to the froth from skim milk as "dry". Skim milk produces an abundance of foam, but the consistency is less "supple". Outside of fat content, the amount of sugar and protein will also effect the amount, type, and physical characteristics of the foam/froth you create for your lattes, cappuccinos, and other mixed drinks.
hi!! this video is great, i just bought a frother for whipped coffee was was curious about other things a frother could be used for! :)
Thank you for positive feedback. If you haven't seen it yet, there's a video on this channel "Healthiest Drink....." It demonstrates a great use of a hand frother for creating a delicious and satisfying fruit juice drink that most people wouldn't think to froth. I have some other frother/video ideas for various types of drinks that I will eventually get to making, so please stop back in the future, or subscribe to be alerted. Enjoy the whipped coffee....sounds yummy!
EfficientWay thank you so much for replying! i will definitely check out that video thank you for suggesting it :) can’t wait to see your future videos!! subscribing now (:
Question sir, is the amount of milk should be little so it can froth better?
Great question. The amount of milk used should be based on the size of the drink you are making and the strength of the espresso you are using (if you're creating a latte or cappuccino) or regular coffee. More milk will take longer to froth up, but that's not really an issue. The issue is that you don't want to dilute the taste of the latte, cappuccino or other coffee drink you are creating milk froth for. You want the flavor and taste of the espresso/coffee to come through. With a little trial and error you will nail down the perfect proportions for your personal taste.
Hey
Did you put warm milk or cold milk ?
It was actually hot creamer I believe. Hot milk works well too when using a hand frother.
I've been using this milk frother wrong the whole timee 😭 thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for the feedback! So glad you learned how to froth milk properly from the video. Enjoy your hand frother and all the delicious coffees, lattes, cappuccinos, and other great drinks you can now make for yourself and others!
Lol me too!
Read my Blooody comment !!!
Thank you... btw, your original comment regarding how others are frothing milk isn't being published for some reason. Please try re-posting it. In any case, thanks for the positive feedback.
What were you doing wrong?
Thank you and you have a very clean stove :)
Ha! Thank you for noticing and thank you for the positive feedback. Happy Frothing!!
strange - upgraded his Frother - but not his ceramic stove- Needs Stainless Steen top !!
@@melaniok6729 none of your business :)
You should’ve used a clear cup to demonstrate how much the milk really expands. I received one of these for Christmas and I absolutely love it! It’s significantly cheaper than an actual milk steamer and the results are just as good, if not better. Like dude in the video says, the froth this little wand makes is almost indestructible.
Very glad to hear you're loving your frother. It does make a great gift as it's used and enjoyed by many on a daily basis. Happy Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Frothing!!!
Sounds like Ray Romano made this video.
Nah, he doesn't go around making free videos to help others ;-)
@@efficientway whatever you say ray... Everybody loves Raymond
Ray Romano is very passionate about his froth
That's exactly what I was going to say, then I saw you had already said it! Indeed he does sound like Ray Romano.
I love this gadget! I bought it and I never drank so much coffee in my life. No more regular coffee.
Ha! Glad you've had so much success and enjoyment with your Aerolatte. It does change the whole coffee drinking experiene with minimal effort. The 1-2-3 cleanup process is in part what makes it so great. That and of course those delicious drinks it produces. Enjoy!
My milk instantly deflated, is there anything I can do to prevent?
Haha, never mind. I figured out that cold milk deflated and hot milk froths really well. I over frothed it! It’s at stiff peaks 😂
Oh, nice! Yes- I was going to suggest two things to combat IDF "Instant Deflating Froth" and you hit on the first- "try warming your milk more". The second was about technique, but I'll spare you the details as you seemed to have nailed it on your own. Well done.. enjoy!
I was wondering what I was doing wrong! I'll try warming my milk. Thanks!
You should have an Amazon affiliate link in the description so you can make some $ from everyone buying after watching this
Ha! Well the real reasons for making the videos are to save people Time, Money, and Frustration. That's the common theme throughout- either letting people learn from my mistakes (so they don't buy the wrong products, have to return them, lose money on them, etc), sharing the hours and hours of research that I've already done (so that they don't have to do it themselves) and giving others solutions/techniques that have been proven successful. Some people claim that UA-cam can suspend accounts for placing links in descriptions. I'm happy if people will just give it a thumbs up or better yet, "SUBSCRIBE"! So if you're reading this, and you found the video helpful, please go ahead and hit that button :-) Many Thanks!
@@efficientway No dude. The customer isn't paying anymore for that. Look at Scotty Kilmer for example, his description states he is an Amazon affiliate like he is supposed to so it is perfectly okay. You are just leaving money on the table right now, the money comes from Amazon not the customer. But anyways, nice video!
I just purchased my frother on Amazon....thank you for this step by step video. Now I can save money ..now that I wont have to go to Starbucks or Dunkin....
At a daily cost of $7 for a latte, your little hand frother will be sending you on vacation at the end of each year! Once you master the frothing technique (to your liking) your coffee drinks will be just as good, and you can even buy Starbucks beans to use in your own Espresso or drip coffee machine. If you make an Espresso shot or two, it will even smell like Starbucks in your kitchen for about 30 seconds :-) Enjoy!!!
DaAlski78520 lol
Thank u I needed that laugh🤣🤣
@DaAlski78520 lmao yet ur probably a scary ass old man hiding behind a screen at least she looks good enough to show herself and isn’t and insecure pos like you,js
Thanks for demoing! We have one and I knew I wasn’t using it right because the froth would disappear quickly. I knew there was a better motion for getting better froth.
That's awesome...I'm glad you found this video because fresh froth that you make yourself is super satisfying (too look at and drink!)!! Thank you for taking the time and leaving the positive feedback. Happy Frothing and Enjoy!
Ohhhhh I put too much milk and that’s why it didn’t work. Now I learned my mistake
Glad to hear! Hope you're now able to enjoy some long lasting, thick froth in your beverage of choice!
@@efficientway thanks for the info!
I’ve recently tried to achieve the best and longest lasting froth. Friend who worked at Starbucks long ago told me to use 2% milk instead of heavy, half n half, etc
It really does work! But I’m still off my super coffee game, came here for the quest of more knowledge. Happy New Years yall
@@dantheanimator5072 Your friend who worked at Starbucks was putting you right in the middle... not too much, not too little. Here's why: the more fat content i.e. full fat milk or cream (whipping cream, heavy cream), the thicker, the "heavier" the bubbles/froth you will produce. They will be tighter too. If you use something like skim milk for frothing, the bubbles will be larger, less dense, and occupy more space. I like to think of froth created by the higher fat content milk products as better for lattes while the 2% or half n half or even skim froth created as being better for cappuccinos. I mean taste wise, it's hard to argue with more fat content, but that comes at a cost to your health. So a good compromise is the 2% milk and the froth it creates, that your friend at Starbucks suggested. It's "middle of the road" LOL! Do you use a traditional espresso machine (vs. Nespresso, etc.)? If so, dialing in your espresso machine (especially if you like to try new coffee blends/types) is a whole art unto itself. Just have fun experimenting along the quest for that perfect cup!
@@efficientway very interesting! Thanks
After losing both my Tassimo and Kuerig machines this year, I’m using a decent Mr Coffee machine and just sad with it
So gf got me a good mixer wand like in your video, I’m a artist so I have a cup or two twice a day....and with 2020 being how it’s been we’ve barely been in a Starbucks etc
So just trying!! Over holidays I tried that new Landmark Half n Half with 30% extra cream, reg half n half, 2% and whole milk. Gotta say 2% and new Landmark one were the best. Yet to try heavy cream
I have been microwaving the milk for 30 seconds, and my mixer wands said “do it at 45 degree angle and 90 degree”
I get the milk straight from the cow, when I want it frothed I get the cow to run around a little bit and it gets the milk organically and naturally frothed. Straight from the cow 🐄 but I guess you could sit there and make some froth if you wanted to. I’m just a little old fashioned and prefer it the way nature intended to make the cow froth the milk for me 🥛. Happy frothing cheers 🥂
And you're getting all that fresh cream for an even better froth! Just one thing I can't figure out.... how do you get the cow to run? :-) Thanks for the smile matey. Enjoy!
I use 1/2 and 1/2. I froth the cold half and half in a very tall plastic tupperware tumbler about 45 sec to 1 min. then I heat in micro for about 30 to 40 sec. and watch it foam up then pour over the coffee. It comes out great this way.
Interesting. I'm always weary of using plastic in the microwave (despite what the labels say) for health reasons. I'm sure it took a lot of trial and error, in terms of timing, so as not to let the half n half overflow in the microwave LOL! Have you tried heating the half n half, frothing it, and then sticking it back in the microwave for the "foaming" effect? The added heat at the beginning of the process definitely makes for easier, faster, thicker, and longer lasting froth.
I wouldn't use plastic in the microwave...I use a separate microwave-safe large mug. Personally, I avoid using plastic for cooking whenever I can.
I would say the reason why your milk frothed with a steamer didn’t stay frothy for that long is because from what I know you aren’t a barista and frothing milk without leaving any bubbles also you don’t want bubbles because it means it’s not holding air which means it deflates quicker.
Frothing milk for lattes and cappuccinos can certainly be tricky. To be clear, I didn't say that the froth from the machine didn't stay frothy for a long time. I just said that when using an Aerolatte I can get froth that stays up longer than the milk froth made with the steamer from an espresso machine. It's a relativity thing. I didn't mention anything about bubbles. I do appreciate your thoughts though so thank you for the comment.
Thank you for the amazing demo and tip! I’ve been wondering why so many people are leaving bad reviews on websites about Frothers but it’s because they’re doing it wrong by putting it all the way down in the cup and damaging the frother.
Very happy to hear this "how to" on milk frothing helped you and even more pleased that you took to the time to comment. I really do appreciate the positive feedback. I often try to help viewers improve their froth via this comment section, but I didn't realize hand frothers were presenting such a prevalent problem. I hope others will continue to find this video and be so kind as to drop a positive comment the way you did! Enjoy and happy frothing!!
I bought a frother from Ikea for $2.99; it came with no instructions except to dispose of properly. It looks like the Aerolotte so I hope that by following your demonstration I will be able to make a delicous cup of latte at home.
If the mixer from Ikea is the same design as the Aerolatte, you should be in great shape, and on your way to enjoying the perfect latte or cappuccino. Just remember to heat the milk a bit before frothing. It definitely makes a difference in terms of ease, speed, and foam "staying power" (i.e. how long the foam lasts) LOL!
@@efficientway Thanks a lot for your video, I not only benefited from your video but also from your reply to Meghan Byrne.
Awesome... enjoy your Aerolatte and all the tasty drinks you will make with it! Thank you for the positive feedback.
Just got one and it's on the way
Can't wait to use it and make some nice latte for my wife
thank you :)
Nice! I know she'll appreciate it and in it will be very gratifying for you too as you produce better and better froth for the lattes each time. Plus think of all the "brownie points" you'll be accumulating each week ;-) Smart man!
I have one I hadn’t used in a while. This was a great refresher on “how to”. Thanks.
Very happy to hear it was helpful. Thank you for the + feedback. Good luck getting re-acquainted with your old frother, and happy frothing! I'll be doing some follow-up videos with the Aerolatte so be sure to check back or subscribe to be notified. Enjoy!
Excellent demo, very easy to follow...thank you! 👌☕🍶
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. If you have any questions after giving your frother a go, please let me know. Enjoy!
Thank you. The milk gets sweeter as you warm it up. The peak of this subtle sweetness is between 57C and 66C (135-150F). Enjoy!
Great info for frothing milk, and yes, there is science behind that. Thank you for sharing this.
@@efficientway No problem. Thank you for the video!
COFFEE YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM,I CAN NOT HAVE A GOOD DAY WITH OUT MY FROTHY COFFEE! I JUST CAN'T LOL
We know that feeling!
Thrilled with the tip! I just got a French Press, frothier, pouring cup and some coffee art tools. I had a Keurig espresso and latte maker. After 2 years the frothed died, and I was sick of buying the rare pods online. Thanks.
Enjoy! The coffee art is quite a skill to master, but very impressive once you do! :-)
This was very helpful. I just received a frother for Christmas and can't wait to use it.
Your excitement is certainly warranted... a hand frother is a simple kitchen tool that will allow you to create (new types of drinks- not just coffee btw), to experience (new tastes and flavors- even if you're using the same old coffee), and to get a little extra joy out of every cup! Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I appreciate it. Enjoy & Happy frothing!
I have the same frother, I've clearly used it incorrectly since I bought it lol, UNTIL, your video. I just tried your method and WaLa... perfect froth! 👌Thank you! Very helpful video. BTW, Love my Aerolatte frother tool, It's very durable and now, perfect froth.
Sincerely appreciate the positive feedback and very happy to hear you're now enjoying great froth from your Aerolatte! Thank you
looks yummy..... but I am not a Coffee person but I want to make some froth for my vegan lemon sorbet recipe, So I will try this with cold coconut milk and see how it comes out...
It's generally easier to froth up hot milk (including coconut milk), but give it a try cold first. Coconut milk has a decent amount of fat in it so it should froth up really well. Outside of milk, you can also froth fruit juices, hot chocolate, and alcoholic drinks. I have videos on each that you can view on this channel. Thank you for the comment and enjoy that sorbet. Sounds delicious. Btw... given the vegan interest, I have videos on frothing almond milk and oat milk too! Enjoy
@@efficientway Thank you!
Thank you !! I got this gadget as a gift but it didn't have any instructions. I love cappuccinos 😊
That's awesome... a hand frother is truly a gift that keeps on giving each and every day (or at least each time you use it)! Especially for people like you that love their lattes, cappuccinos, and the froth that makes them so delicious. And it's a smart gift to give someone as they will likely think of you (at least for the first month LOL!!) each time they take that first sip in the morning. Enjoy and thank you for the comment!
I want to make hot chocolate with a frother- suggestions?
Great video- I was ready to send my frother back, doing it completely wrong!!
First, I'm happy to hear you're now frothing away! Thank you for the positive feedback on the video. Second- have I got a video for you.... how about Frothed, Triple layered, salted caramel, low fat, hot chocolate? I made a video on it that you can find here: ua-cam.com/video/0pQXl9xPLLE/v-deo.html
I also have other frothing videos using Baileys Irish Cream and some fruit juices if you're interested. Additionally, I filmed these videos using a clear glass and from different angles so you may pick up some more frothing techniques. Thanks again and Happy Frothing!
Thanks so much- I'll look at them and keep trying! Still getting more on me than in the glass!
@@jennioliver4065 Ha! Just remember not to turn the frother on until after it's already deeply immersed in the milk or other liquid (toward the bottom of the glass, but not touching) and only shut it off when the blade is near the bottom of the glass. Enjoy!
Thank you - your tips saved me upgrading from my frother wand to an expensive frothing machine!
That's awesome. True value added... I appreciate the feedback as the goal of the channel is to help save others time, money, and frustration. Btw, I created a video comparing a hand frother to the Nespresso Aerocino 3 to help people buying either one for the first time and for people exactly in your situation though in many cases it's people who already own a frothing machine that they got for free with the purchase of a Nespresso machine (vs. someone who bought a frothing wand first). If you haven't watched it already, you may find the video interesting. Either way, enjoy the new found benefits of the frother wand!
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. La Paz.. Namaste ..
🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮️ ❤️ 🕊
Thank you!
Thank you! Bought one, did it wrong, watched your video, did it right! 👍
Niiiice! It's quite satisfying to produce your own milk froth isn't it? It tastes great and looks great! Thank you for the comment and happy frothing. Enjoy!
This was very helpful, I froth almond milk, but will try your technique, as mine remains flat at the bottom
You'll actually find a whole video dedicated to frothing almond milk on this channel. I'm not a big fan of the taste, but the almond milk frothed up incredibly well! Thank you for the positive feedback. Here is the link to the video in case you missed it: ua-cam.com/video/KKvz5LtUvq4/v-deo.html
Enjoy!
It’s been a while since you have uploaded this video, but hopefully you will see it. Great video! Here’s my somewhat silly question. How long do you microwave the cream? I tend to overdo it with the microwave, so a little extra guidance would be great. Thank you!
Yep, as you saw, start with 30 seconds, but it's really a bit of trial and error. Everyone has different size microwaves and different power levels. It also depends how much milk (dairy or non) you are using. That will be determined by what type of drink you are making. The trial part (you'll nail it within a week) is it worth it because once you figure it out, since your are using a microwave, you can dial it in the exact number of seconds needed and replicate the same great cup every time. Enjoy and Happy Frothing!
Can you use a Keurig when you make your coffee? I just purchased a frother. Can't wait to try. Thanks.
Absolutely, you can use your Keurig coffee with the hand frother. If you are trying to make an authentic latte or cappuccino, you'd want to use something closer to an espresso or at least a "darker/stronger" coffee so that the coffee flavor isn't overwhelmed by the milk. But if you just want to treat yourself to a little froth in your coffee each morning (who wouldn't??? :-) go ahead.... froth it up! The technique shown in the video produces a "strong" froth than can withstand you either pouring your freshly made Keurig cup into the froth you just made, or vice versa- transferring the froth into the mug/cup filled with Keurig coffee. Excited for you! Enjoy!!!!
This was most helpful. Thank you for this great tutorial and for making this video.
I sincerely appreciate the positive feedback. I'm very happy to hear it helped and you're on you're on your way to enjoying perfect milk froth for you lattes and cappuccinos. If you haven't already seen them, there are a few other vids I made that demonstrate (with a bit less tutorial) the frothing techniques. At the suggestion of a viewer, I used clear, glass cups and filmed from different angles, so those too may be helpful. Thanks again and happy frothing!
Okay I was doing too low. Thanks for the demo
Once you get the hang of it you'll really start to appreciate your hand frother. I have some other videos on this channel where I use the Aerolatte in a clear cup and film from different angles. You may find them additionally helpful in terms of technique. Thank you for the comment and Happy Frothing!
I heat my half and half milk and little coffee cream 2/3 cup full add a teaspoon instant Nescafé coffee...then used thefrothing tool. Opps....milk everywhere. First time user. Any good advice not to splatter everywhere?
Sounds delicious! Yes...first, place the Aerolatte about 3/4 of the way down the cup (towards the bottom). THEN turn the frother on. Leave the machine on for about 15 seconds in that position (you can experiment with ideal amount of time in future drinks). This will get the froth going (especially if you have fresh batteries in the Aerotlatte and it's spinning at maximum speed), and the drink will start to become less "liquidity" as a result. Then follow the technique described in the video. The "art" of using the frother comes into play here. As you move the aerolatte towards the top of the cup, and thus the top of the drink, you don't want the whisk part to move above/out of the drink. You have to take it to the very top/edge, but not above the liquid/froth. Second, make sure you shut off the frother while it's still submerged in the drink. Otherwise your drink will literally be splattered/fly everywhere in the form of tiny little annoying spots (that are hard to locate because they end up everywhere). While in practice mode, you could always consider using a taller cup before switching back to your favorite morning coffee cup :-)
A tip I learned is to tilt the cup at an angle and to actually stay right beneath the surface of the milk to avoid bringing bubbles into it. Slight up and down motion right beneath the surface, and voila fluffy creamy foam!
I'm not sure if you meant from this video, but yes as far as frothing milk with a hand frother for lattes, cappuccinos, or any other drink, those are some helpful tips. Part of the frothing technique does require a bit of action at the bottom of the cup, but as you say, the frothing wand should not stay there the entire time. Thank you for the comment and Happy Frothing!
Ummm quick question, what if I wanna use froth milk for ice coffee or ice cappuccino? I did the steps but I used cold milk, and at first the froth turns out great but after a while when I was making my coffee and bring ice out of the freezer all the froth disappeared and it was just a regular milk again ☹️🥺
Even just trying to froth cold milk is much harder than frothing hot milk. So the fact that your cold milk froth didn't hold well does not surprise me. There aren't many alternatives... it's not like they can create cold froth at Starbucks with a traditional steam wand. But there is one thing you can try and it's sort of a compromise. In fact, I may try it myself and if it works, perhaps I'll do a video since you're not the first viewer to inquire about cold frothed coffee drinks. Try starting with cold/chilled coffee from the fridge. This is actually superior to using ice cubes because ice cubes will ultimately dilute and weaken your coffee. Then add cold milk- preferably at least 2%, but whole milk is even better. If you like sugar in your coffee drinks, add that to the hot coffee after it's brewed (before you chill it). Then try frothing the whole drink. This drink won't stay "frothed" as long as plain, hot milk would stay frothed, but it should have a desirable outcome in terms of texture, thickness and taste. It's not too dissimilar to a milky coffee. I did a video on how to make a frothed milky coffee not too long ago and it came out perfect. The difference in your case is that there's an element of water vs. a milky coffee that is made 100% with milk. However, if you're using traditional espresso shots, the ratios of milk to coffee/water should be large enough to develop a good frothy drink! If you try it, please let me know how it goes. Enjoy!
I just got a rechargable milk frother on Amazon for $9.99, came here to see how to use it!
I do appreciate that and I hope you found this tutorial on how to froth milk with a hand frother helpful. Enjoy and Happy Frothing!
Thank you so much waiting on my frother to get delivered today can't wait to try it your way🐴☕☕btw new subscriber here
I am excited for you!! Honestly.... I hope you enjoy many fine cups filled with tasty froth going forward. Thank you for watching and for subscribing! Please let us know how it turns out.
A good design does not need to change. Just bought a new Moka pot and one of these Aerolatte whisks today. Your video gave me some ideas for my usual coffee...
That's awesome. If you haven't seen them already, I have some videos where I use the Aerolatte to froth not only milk, but also fruit juices, hot chocolate, "milky coffee", alcoholic drinks, etc. Plus, I froth them all up in a clear glass so you can really see the Aerolatte in action. Thank you for the feedback and comment. Enjoy the new Moka pot and frother!
16 to 20 dollars? Wow!
In some japanese stores in the Philippines, they'd just cost about a dollar sixty for price comparison.
I know you can find cheaper version of this.
If you only have the froth attachment, you can use a drill, or a Dremel...
or make one of your own with a toy motor and a piece of wire.
There are certainly cheaper versions of hand frothers like the Aerolatte such as the ones sold at Ikea. However, do note that they are not made with the same materials, the same design, or come with the same accessories. For example, a carrying/protective case may be important to some people. Nonetheless, if it gets the job done and produces froth that you enjoy, that's all that matters. The brand does not.
I bought one identical from kmart without the logo for $2 great quality.. I heat milk in glass jug. Heat. Pout in metal jug.
It whips better in metal jug. I use about 200mls for both of us.
Make our coffee with instant and sugar pour 1/3 boiling water in our cup disolve sugar and coffee
I put mine 1cm under the milk hold on angle to get mine nice and velvety then pour. And is almost like a flatwhite /latte. Sometimes i give my wife extra foam and make hers a capachino.
If im making milo(a type of hotchocolate)
I put the milo in the milk before i froth it.
Either way. I bought it a week ago and my wife makes me make her a frothy coffee or milo every single time
Sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe and the details of how you use your frother. Please keep us posted on how your new frother holds up. Enjoy!
I JUST bought the aerolatte frother 2 days ago!!!! I’m trying to find uses for it other than just foaming milk and coffee though.
Edit: I actually don’t drink coffee believe it or not😅
- which is why I’m looking for other uses. It just seems fun.
Beyond coffee drinks, I think the Aerolatte is great for mixed drinks- alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Sure, it's not a necessity, but you could save the hassle and time of cleaning up an extra cup or "cocktail shaker". I think the Aerolatte would make a mean Margarita (with ice, not frozen). When you shake a margarita in a cocktail mixer you naturally get some kind of "frothy" white stuff on top when you pour it into a cup, and people love to slurp that part down first. So an Aerolatte should be perfect. Navigating the ice cubes might be tricky, but if you're just having some fun, try mixing the ingredients (not just a margarita mix) get some froth, then add ice cubes and perhaps then use a cocktail mixer to get it super cold and super frothy. Some fruit juices should work well too. And the thicker the better. Don't laugh, but prune juice is very sweet and normally thicker than most juices. I stuck the aerolatte in there and whipped it up creating a light, foamy delicious treat! It's hard to describe. Perhaps I'll do a video on it?? Please come back and let us know the creative ways you end up using your Aerolatte! Enjoy and have fun!
EfficientWay Ooooh I extremely new to bar drinks, as I turned 19 just over a month ago (legal drinking age in Canada) and haven’t been to a bar or club yet. I’m actually quite curious about alcoholic drinks and have one friend who was practicing bartending (also roughly the same age), so maybe I’ll ask him and see what he knows about foam in those types of beverages.
Honestly I figured thicker liquids would work better. Example, cream would work better than milk, right?
I think experimental videos from you would be awesome!
I’ll definitely try a few things out and let you know the results!
Thank you for your advice!
I think you'll have some fun and get some enjoyment out of your new Aerolatte either way. Remember to drink responsibly :-)
EfficientWay I most certainly will be responsible! Funny thing is, jut after replying to you yesterday I asked my mom if she knew any other uses for it. She suggested I take a bartending course, even if I wasn’t going to get a job as one. I’m actually considering taking a course now...😅 I suppose the knowledge would be useful in some situations.
Again, thank you so much for the help!
is the milk in the cup cold or hot?
When frothing milk with an Aerolatte or any other hand-held milk frother, the milk should definitely be hot. An easy way to heat the milk is via a microwave. You can also heat the milk in a sauce pan. With a microwave especially, it will take some experimenting to dial in the exact time (based on the microwave and the amount of milk you are heating, along with the type of cup/mug) required. To get the perfect milk froth, you don't want to overheat the milk to the point where it starts to boil and bubble, nor do you want the milk to form a skin. On the other hand, if the milk is not hot enough, it will not froth up easily or quickly.
Here's the scientific explanation. So basically milk contains fat and proteins. Whenever you froth milk you are basically stirring oxygen into the milk. The proteins bond together and form bubbles that trapped the oxygen which make foam. But also the fat inside the milk is basically an anti foaming agent. It destroys the protein bubbles when they form. But the hotter that you make the milk the more the fat droplets will melt away which will prevent it from destroying the protein bubbles that have formed around oxygen. As to why a steamer doesn't create foam that lasts as long as the stirring frother? I'm not sure but it surely has something to do with the fact that a steamer creates foam from water vapor trapped in bubbles. The stir frother creates foam from oxygen trapped in bubbles. Perhaps its the water vapor cools faster and turns back into a liquid that makes the bubbles pop faster. So if you just use oxygen to create foam they'll basically just stay there until the fat droplets start forming again
"Science With Peanut Butter"... could make a catchy podcast! Thank you for the detailed scientific explanation. The importance of the "heating" portion of the exercise (which you explained) is often overlooked. When viewers are having problems frothing milk, it's one of the first things I mention in my reply. I would note though that fat content does alter the creaminess and thickness of the foam created. So fat content isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just depends on what type of milk froth you prefer or what type of drink you're trying to make... i.e. a latte or cappuccino or your own layered creation.
Looking into these for visiting family and trips. Had no clue how they worked or what to expect. Thanks so much for showing us.
Hand frothers are perfect for travelling, using at the office, in an RV, a boat, a tent, etc. There's no reason to miss out on a frothy latte or cappuccino when you're visiting family or on vacation, let alone have to get up, get dressed and run down to the nearest Starbucks to pay $7 a drink when you're supposed to be relaxing on the balcony in your bathrobe :-) If your hotel has a mini-fridge you're golden. Worst case you'll need to dump a bunch of those mini-creamers with the pull bag tabs in a cup and start frothing LOL!!!
Great video, clear instructions, thankyou 👍👍
Happy to hear it helped. Thank you for the positive feedback. Enjoy and Happy Frothing!!
Thanks so much for this excellent demonstration. I greatly appreciate it!☕️
I'm glad you found it helpful and I appreciate the positive feedback. Happy Frothing!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! 😍
Enjoy the froth my friend! Thank you for the + feedback.
You can make your own coffee at home for about .30 or .40 cents a cup ' I don't go to Starbucks because the can't make a decent coffee, I think they just can't be bothered to try.
There's also a sense of satisfaction when you produce a great cup of coffee on your own. When you add your own hand made froth, for lattes and cappuccinos, there's another layer of skill involved, and thus another layer of satisfaction just from the creation of the froth. The enjoyment of the coffee drink you've produced is a whole other thing. From an economic standpoint, there's no comparison. There's a huge amount of savings vs. a six dollar latte from Starbucks. The ability to enjoy your coffee anywhere in your house or apartment vs. in a crowded shop, your car, or office, is yet another advantage to making your own coffee, milk froth, and drinks in general.
But how do I HEAT IT and then pour into coffee like a latte
For making lattes or cappuccinos (with an Aerolatte or other frother), you can use a ceramic mini "milk jug", that you'd normally find in a dining set (or separately) to display/hold milk on a table. Like the kind that would come with a matching sugar bowl, salt & pepper shaker etc. Like this creamer pitcher on Amazon amzn.to/2ATzwcg
Heat the milk in the microwave using that, then froth the milk in the jug. Alternatively, heat the milk over the stove in a pan or pot and use said mini milk jug to pour your froth into the latte or cappuccino. If you're not doing latte art or aren't too finicky about your drinks, you could really use any type of cup to heat the milk in the microwave and then pour it into your espresso. Given the demand, I will soon do a follow-up video demonstrating the process and hopefully something new and unique (as far as latte art) so please subscribe to be alerted to future videos. Enjoy!
Did you really not know how to heat up milk? :D
That's like watching some pasta recipe and going "ok, but how do I make water boil?"
Just bought one yesterday and haven’t stopped using it….. anything i can froth I’ll do it 🤣🤣🤣 any recipes on how to do sweet foam with one
Glad to hear you're loving your hand frother! I'm not familiar with sweet foam, but it sounds like it would be the perfect topping on my "Frothed, low-fat, salted caramel hot chocolate" recipe- you'll find the video on this channel. OR... it would probably be great on my "frothed Baileys & Espresso" drink. I did a video on this channel for that one too. Also, I have a video on "frothed grape juice"- super healthy, lowers cholesterol and froths really well. In addition to a video on, yes, "frothed prune juice". Nope, it's not for the elderly LOL! It's sweet, froths up perfectly, and satisfies anyone's sweet tooth (especially children) and it's healthy. You can find all of those videos right here on this channel. If you try any, please share your thoughts. In the meantime, Happy Frothing!!
Was using it incorrectly your demostration was the best one.Thank you Terry
Awesome.. I'm glad you're on your way to some nice thick froth in your lattes, cappuccinos, matchas or whatever your choice of beverage is. Thank you for the positive feedback and for leaving the comment. Happy Frothing!
Thank you I had this in my drawer I was using it to blend and not froth 😭 This was the missing piece to my match green tea lattes 💚🍵
That's awesome...I'm glad you "re-discovered" your Aerolatte! Using a hand frother to make green tea lattes is way more popular than I thought. A hand frother seems to be equally as useful to tea drinkers as it is coffee drinkers. Who would have thought...coffee drinkers and tea lovers coming together and uniting over froth! I love it. Happy Frothing everyone!! And thank you Naomii for the comment and the positive feedback. Enjoy!
Amazon has a lot of BAD reviews on this product.. it's JUNK.
The Aerolatte milk frother has a 4.4/5.0 rating from 4,824 reviews from the online merchant you mentioned, which is a pretty respectable rating. So I'm not sure if you're specifically talking about the Aerolatte, or other hand frothers you saw. Remember, SOME poor reviews you see out there come from "user error" and poor maintenance. "How to use a hand frother" seems simple enough, but if you read some of the comments in this video, you'll see that it isn't. And to be fair, the instructions that come with the Aerolatte are not detailed. That is why I created this video- to help others. But some don't seek help and just assume the item they bought (any item, not just hand frothers) "don't work". As far as maintenance, in the case of the Aerolatte, if you wash it and water drips up into the motor area, it won't take long for parts to rust. If someone uses it for a month and the batteries start to die, they may assume the problem is with the machine, rather than the batteries. I'm sure like all mechanical devices, the Aerolatte is susceptible to breaking down or failure. But the company offers a 2 year warranty! For a $19 item, that's very generous. And it should put a lot of concerns to rest. As far as whether it "does the job" of frothing milk and other liquids, I have plenty of videos demonstrating that it does. I hope this helps you and others who are on the fence. As a side note, keep in mind that not all hand frothers are created equal- i.e. the materials they use, whether or not you have to hold down the button when using it, warranty/no warranty, the blade design, etc.
It still didn't work for me. Was it because I use cheap $1 wand?
I won't blame the hand frother yet, especially without knowing which one you're referencing, but it is possible. Before you toss it away, check the obvious- fresh pair of batteries (even a "fresh" pair can be drained right out of the package fyi). Next, make sure you are heating the milk to the necessary hot temperature. It should be too hot to touch comfortably, but stop it before it boils or starts to form a skin. From there, check your technique. I have several other milk frothing videos on this channel. And in these other videos I use a clear glass (vs. the opaque one I used in this video) in addition to shooting from different camera angles. You may be able to pick up a few more tips as a result. If you try all the above with no success, then consider upgrading your hand frother/ milk frothing wand. And if you still have issues, write me back and we can troubleshoot more specifics.
Wow all this time I've been using it wrong
No worries... it's never too late. Just think of all the delicious frothed drinks you'll be enjoying going forward! You may find some of the other frothing videos on this channel helpful as well since they are filmed at different angles and I've used clear glass mugs/cups vs. the opaque mug in this one. Happy frothing!
Those handhelds are nice but only works a short tim, i had 3 in 5 months . I gave up bought real frother cup kind.
I wouldn't expect you to go back to a hand frother after your experience, but I will point out a couple of things that may or may not be applicable to your experience. First, although they all look a like, hand frothers do differ. They sell for anything from $2 up to $30. Some of that price is based on the quality of materials, warranty offered, patent designs, "name brand", etc. I'll point out that they're not all constructed the same and they don't all use the same materials on the inside and outside. That makes them more susceptible to rust, etc. will cause the machine to stop working. Some are not really stainless steel- they're just coated or made to look like stainless steel when in fact they are plastic. Another thing to note: after washing the blade of the frother, it's tempting to invert the machine and stand it upright. But when you do that, little bits of water that are still on the blade can drip right down the shaft and end up going right into the guts of the machine- which over time can also cause rust to build inside where you can't see it. At the same time, users should avoid resting the machine flat so as not to put too much pressure on the blade. Also, if you place the frother back in its case (for those hand frothers that come with a case), you don't want to put it back until it is completely dry- the potential rust issue again). Anyway, I've done review/comparisons of a hand frother vs. a "cup type". They both have their benefits. Thanks for the comment and Happy Frothing!
Great tutorial - I've ordered the wand and can't wait to give it a go. Milk into coffee or coffee into milk?
Sorry for the late reply. It's generally easier and more efficient to either pour the coffee directly into the newly created milk froth or place the cup with the newly created froth under your espresso machine if you are using one. Doing it this way saves the integrity of the froth/foam. Otherwise you risk it collapsing and/or destroying the froth. Additionally, you save on cups and dishwashing this way. By now you will have probably received your new frothing wand. I hope you are enjoying it. Thank you for the positive feedback. Happy Frothing!
Froth it up 😎
[insert Austin Powers meme here] "Yea Baby, yea!" :-)
Check out the " got froth? " video/merch....
I heard cold milk froths up better and yes you can go down deeper into the milk and go up and down you would have more volume and your frother makes a lot of noise mine is quiet
It is possible that you read that or heard that, but it's likely they were referencing frothing milk with a milk steamer/ steam frother (as opposed to a handheld frother). If you're sure they were referencing hand frothers, the best way to find out is to conduct some A/B tests yourself. Try frothing the same milk after it has come out of the fridge and then try heating up the same milk, in a microwave until it is too hot to touch comfortably, but not hot enough that it starts to boil or form a skin on top. The required time may take some experimenting, but you can simply heat it up in increments. Here's what you should be noting: how long it takes to create the froth you desire (it will vary by personal preference and type of drink you are making), what type of foam and bubbles you create, and most importantly, how long your froth "stays" up. You will likely note that the cold milk froth deflates much quicker than the hot milk.
Just replayed the video and heard you say that you heat the cream for about 30 seconds. Ugh! Sorry about that!
Yep, as you saw, start with 30 seconds, but it's really a bit of trial and error. Everyone has different size microwaves and different power levels. It also depends how much milk (dairy or non) you are using. That will be determined by what type of drink you are making. The trial part (you'll nail it within a week) is it worth it because once you figure it out, since your are using a microwave, you can dial it in the exact number of seconds needed and replicate the same great cup every time. Enjoy and Happy Frothing!
Is heating the milk a prerequisite, or is there a model that heats too? Thx
When using a hand frother to froth milk without an espresso machine steam, yes... you need to "manually" heat the milk prior to frothing if you want proper, warm froth. A microwave or stove top works well for this purpose. There are devices (they are not hand frothers or frothing wands) like the Nespresso Aeroccino that will both heat the milk and froth at the same time. This type of device has its own advantages, but also several disadvantages vs. using a hand frother. I detail the advantages/disadvantages, and compare the Aeroccino to the Aerolatte in the following video if you are interested: ua-cam.com/video/SbtFCvd6XAQ/v-deo.html
If you have any follow-up questions, write back and I will get back to you asap. Thanks!
I wonder if I could use this to make my protein shake instead of just shaking the bottle and still having clumps
Unfortunately it won't work well for that purpose. The blade is to small and arguably not powerful enough. It would take you a really long time. I make a meal replacement shake every day!! I have two videos on this channel that review and compare the ideal personal blender for making shakes (protein or any other kind). It is one of the best appliances because you can whip up a shake in seconds! It gets used every day and you can drink right from the containers you create the shake in. There's isn't a big blender to wash out and it doesn't take up a lot of space on your counter like a full size blender.
Check out the videos... you won't regret getting one.
Found one on Amazon for $8.97
An Aerolatte? Or a different brand hand frother?
I also use my Aerolatte frother for making very creamy hot chocolate !!!
That is great timing! I literally just filmed a video on how to make low-fat, triple layered, salted caramel, FROTHED hot cocoa last night! It just needs to be edited. I have to call it hot cocoa vs. hot chocolate so the purists out there don't come after me (I use powdered cocoa vs. melted chocolate so it's technically hot cocoa) LoL!. Please be sure to check back soon/subscribe so we can compare notes! Happy frothing!
Fyi... the how to on a "Frothed, triple layer, low-fat, salted caramel hot cocoa" video is now live. Thanks!
Great little tool, add some brown sugar to my coffee and it is yummy!
I use "raw sugar" - the big brown crystals and yes, it sure is yummy. The Aerolatte milk frother, or perhaps all hand held milk frothers are underrated. A little tool like that can create temporary happiness :-)
Does it warm the liquid it's spinning in?
Could it be used to add heat to a cup of coffee?
The Aerolatte and other hand-frothers do not heat the milk or liquid you are using. The benefit of that is that you can use it to froth other liquids like fruit juices and alcoholic drinks. It's generally easiest to use a microwave if you have one, but you can also use a stove top or if travelling, one of those devices that looks like a metal coil and plugs into the wall.
The froth I made didn't last longer. What can I do? Any suggestions?
There are a few reasons your froth may not be holding up well. Here are the main ones: 1)The type of milk as well as the brand- i.e. dairy vs. almond, vs. coconut, etc. 2)The temperature of the milk you are frothing 3)The technique you're using to froth milk I will assume you are using dairy milk (brand is more important for non-dairy milk frothing). Skim vs. full fat can make a difference, but not huge. So I will focus on 2 and 3 (you can find more detail about both in some of my other replies, but the following are the main points). The milk should be hot enough so that it is uncomfortable to touch, but not so hot as to cause it to boil or form a skin. This will take some experimenting on your part. The easiest and most consistent way is to use a microwave. Cold milk will cause various issues. As far as technique, it's possible you are spending too much time near the surface and getting extra aeration which creates larger, less dense, less stable bubbles/foam/froth. There's definitely a skill to using a hand frother like the Aerolatte, but it's every easy to learn, so don't worry. Watch this video again or I have many other videos on this channel where I use a clear cup (as opposed to the one in this video) which will allow you to see a bit better and also I film from different angles. Take note of the above, watch the other videos, try a few times, and let me know what happens. We can troubleshoot from there if you still have problems getting proper, long lasting, thick froth. Also, if you don't use dairy milk, watch my recent video on frothing coconut milk and the video where I compared frothing almond milks. Happy Frothing!
I was using too much milk!! Thank you!!
Ahh... glad it helped and you can enjoy from here on in! Thank you for the + feedback. Happy frothing!
I pour the milk froth cup to the espresso cup. Will try your method next time
The benefit of pouring or making the espresso directly in the cup that has milk froth in it already is that you won't break up the froth. I actually think you'll notice quite a difference, especially if you froth the milk as shown and create "strong" and "lasting" froth. Let us know what you think.
I tried fat free half and half and it did foam up but it melted with in seconds after adding to coffee. Any tips ?
Sorry for the delayed response. Before changing the milk product, I would check or alter the temperature. Make sure you are heating your half and half so that it's too hot to touch comfortably, but not so hot that it starts to boil or form a "skin". After that, it may help to view some of the other milk frothing videos I've done because I use a clear glass in those videos and it may be easier to see some of the technique. It's hard to pick up on the nuances with opaque cup I used in this video. Try those two things first (give it a few tries with the hot half and half with the proper technique) and if that doesn't work, I will help you troubleshoot. Be patient, and remind yourself that it can be done. There are plenty of comments in this section from other viewers who shared their great success stories. After a tough go at first, they are now happy frothers. I appreciate their follow-ups and I look forward to yours! Thanks
Thank you. I had one of these, but watching the technique for using this thing really helps
Excellent! I'm glad it was helpful and I thank you for the positive feedback. Now you'll really enjoy your frother!
When do you add the sugar?
That's a great question, thank you. If you want to replicate a latte or cappuccino experience similar to what you would get by creating the milk froth from an espresso machine, you can go ahead and add the sugar last, after you've combined your froth and coffee. The froth you will create from your hand-frother will be "strong" and "durable" enough to withstand mixing in sugar with a spoon (ideally a small espresso spoon to do the least damage to the froth). NOW.... here's the advantage of using a hand frother to make the froth and foam for your lattes and cappuccinos (or whatever drink you are creating) over using an espresso machine: After you have heated up your milk (doesn't matter what kind- dairy, almond, soy, etc.) add in your sugar and stir into the hot milk. Now go ahead and create the froth and foam as shown in this video (I also have some other videos that demonstrate the technique using a clear cup fyi). The foam itself will now be sweet and you will either pour that on top of the coffee/espresso or you can make the espresso right in the cup with froth in it (another advantage btw... saves dishes). As you take your sips, the coffee passes through the sweet froth and creates a flavor profile that is unique and special. If you make your coffee/espresso separately, you could add sugar to that first (though you will break up the crema if using espresso), then just pour in the foam on top. So in short, there isn't one way. It's personal preference. You could even combine two methods depending upon how sweet you like your drinks :-) If you have any questions, please do follow up. Happy Frothing!
I love my froth!!!! This makes me happy!
In a chaotic world, it's often the simple things in life that bring a smile to our faces. A cup of coffee topped off with the perfect white froth is one of those things. Enjoy it!
Thanks for this Video. I love this little gadget! I use it daily. If you use a glass/plastic measuring cup, you won't have to worry about splashing the milk everywhere. (You can also use your cup like this gentieman did). The Aerolatte also has its power switch on the side and it stays on until you switch it off. On other hand-held frothers, you may have to hold down the power button with your finger while simultaneously frothing the milk. I found that a little difficult to do. The Aerolatte's battery life is awesome and the batteries come with the machine when you buy it. Save yourself some money on those expensive electric milk frothers. This one is fantastic! You control the amount of foam and temperature of the milk. I have given this as gifts as well.. Give it a try!
Excellent highlights of the Aerolatte hand frother and may I add, concisely and eloquently written! I know YOU "got froth!" Enjoy!
Thank you! Now it’s not just for “treat” time.
Indeed, you can enjoy your favorite coffee drinks any time, by frothing milk with your milk frother, quickly and easily. It' a huge cost savings too! Enjoy and thank you for the comment.
Full cream powdered milk dissolved in hot water doesn't froth😒
I've never tried frothing powdered milk, so that is good information. I'm sorry it didn't work for you. It may not be as practical as small sachets of powdered milk, but I know they sell small cartons of almond and oat milk that are long life (don't have to be refrigerated). They will froth up really well. I have videos on this channel demonstrating this. Thanks again!
My aerolatte frother broke in less than 2 months. Rubbish product.
You should contact customer service no matter what as it can't hurt. That's an abnormal experience. Do keep in mind that the Aerolatte is not completely waterproof. If water drips down the shaft during the cleaning process, rust could eventually develop inside the hand frother and cause problems.
You just saved me $500.00 dollars 💵 🤣
Awesome! That's the goal of this channel- to save others time, money, and frustration! So feedback like yours, and those from others, are helpful in many ways- so thank you. It's great that you could actually quantify it. Happy frothing!
Never thought of the clean up. Thanks for the video:) now I know I don’t want one.
Don't let cleaning up the Aerolatte or any other milk frothing device deter you from purchasing one. It literally takes 5 to 7 seconds to run it under the faucet and that's it... done! You've cleaned up your hand frother. Since I recommend frothing milk in the same cup you will use to pour coffee or make an espresso in (in part to save cleaning up more items), there's nothing additional to clean up. With that said, if you don't like the idea of using a hand frother to froth milk for your lattes and cappuccinos, I did a video comparing the Aerolatte to a frothing machine called the Aeroccino. You can find that video on this channel.
@@efficientway thank you… I do appreciate that. I definitely wouldn’t. I just ever thought about the cleaning. Saved me SO MUCH money doing it his way though.
I feel like this is great to increase the volume of the milk without increasing the calories lol.
Ha! I know you're only joking, but it is amazing how how voluminous the frothed milk becomes. You can start with just a tiny bit and it becomes a mountain of thick, velvety deliciousness! Happy Frothing!
Thanks for this helpful video.
Could you tell me what the 2 little black buttons are for on the handle of the frother.
They are opposite the on/off slide button .
Those little black things on the Aerolatte frother are just rivets or something. They are plastic and aren't actually buttons.
Thank you so much for replying.
Batteries only last 150 uses. It's a good idea to get rechargeable batteries. I add a bit of Carnation Evaporated milk to the carton milk, just to make it creamier.
The battery life will depend upon how much milk, juice, liquor, etc. you are frothing at any given time. It also depends upon the quality of the battery (brand and how it was/is stored), and other factors. But assuming you about in the right neighborhood, someone using their hand frother every day to froth up milk for a latte or cappuccino would get about 5 months out of a set of batteries. That's a great suggestion re: adding evaporated milk to make your milk froth even creamier. Thank you for the comment and the tip!
@@efficientway I like my Bialetti Moka and Brikka pots and the French Press, so an electric frother is perfect for that. Thank you for taking the time to respond. 👍
Stay frothy my friends
Love it!
Nice tutorial. You could also be a hand model. Very nice hands.
You are too kind! Thank you very much for the positive feedback on the hand frother. Enjoy and Happy Frothing!
Hi, I have a similar product here, would you like to try it?
There are many tools used to froth milk for lattes and cappuccinos. The Aerolatte milk frother is one of the originals, if not the original. The build quality and design is different to other brands, plus it comes with a case, etc. On the other hand, other brands can get the job done and are less expensive, even if they don't last as long. So when it comes to "how to froth milk for lattes and cappuccinos without using steam, there isn't just one tool. But this video teaches you how to use a hand-held milk frother, regardless of which brand one buys.
I use Lactaid 2% (the blue cap one) and I get better results with cold milk. YMMV I suppose.
That's interesting and may prove helpful to some other viewers. I don't have any experience frothing Lactaid. I notice that the ingredients are very different to milk and dairy cream and perhaps that's causing a difference in performance. Additionally, "results" can be all encompassing or partial, meaning froth and the quality of froth can be so different. The speed at which froth develops, the size of the "bubbles"/foam that make up the froth, how tightly packed they are, how much air in the froth, how long the froth "stays up", how much froth to milk ratio left when done, etc. etc. So cold lactaid may have better results across the board or just in certain aspects. Anyway, here are the ingredients in Lactaid. It's certainly not apples to apples vs. plain milk: Ingredients. Reduced Fat Milk, Tribasic Calcium Phosphate (Calcium) (Ingredient Not In Regular Milk), Carrageenan (Ingredient Not In Regular Milk), Guar Gum (Ingredient Not In Regular Milk), Lactase Enzyme (Ingredient Not In Regular Milk), Vitamin A Palmitate And Vitamin D3. Heat could interact with any one of those ingredients to prohibit or delay the onset on of foam and froth. But regardless, for those who use Lactaid 2%, it's worth experimenting to froth up cold and properly hot Lactaid, to see which meets their personal standards for proper froth, based on your comment. So thanks again for posting.
@@efficientway Thank YOU for the thorough reply and informative video. =)

I got this thing for free with a kitchen appliance on Amazon.
You are lucky. The Aerolatte handheld milk frother is the gift that keeps on giving. Even if you don't drink coffee or don't use frothed milk for lattes and cappuccinos, you can still froth fruit juices, hot chocolate, alcoholic drinks, etc. I have several videos on this channel that illustrate how well they come out. Enjoy and Happy Frothing!
Can you spoon the froth into a cup of coffee instead of pouring the coffee in afterwards? Which kind of milk is preferable?
Absolutely you can. When froth is made with a steam wand (using an espresso machine), the froth and heated milk beneath it are transferred into the coffee, rather than the other way around. But in this case, because you can use your coffee mug or coffee cup to create the froth when using a hand frother (as opposed to having to use a special milk "frothing jug" some people prefer to save doing dishes, etc. When you froth milk for lattes and cappuccinos using a hand frother and an espresso machine or Nespresso machine, the coffee comes out in a narrow, precise pour and doesn't disturb the froth. But if you choose to spoon in the froth, you'll have no problems. The froth will be thick enough and strong enough to make the transfer :-) The milk you use will depend upon what type of froth you are trying to make (which will be dictated by personal taste/choice and also the type of drink you are trying to make). For a cappuccino you may prefer more "airy foam" and go with a skim milk. For creamier froth you will prefer full fat milk. You can also use almond milk and oat milk! It's best to experiment. I have several videos demonstrating both milks and I also have other videos where I use the Aerolatte to froth milk in a clear glass. This allows you to see my frothing techniques better and from different angles used in this video. The most important thing, no matter which milk you use, is to heat the milk "enough". Hot enough so that it's uncomfortable to touch, but not so hot that you get any bubbling or it forms any type of "skin" on top.
@@efficientway thank you so much for your helpful answer!

HaHa! Yes, thank you....that is a simplified overview of the milk frothing process! In all seriousness though, there is technique involved in hand frothing milk and depending upon what type of froth you want, the technique will vary. In all the follow-up videos I've made, that involve the Aerolatte or hand frothing in general (I froth juice, liquors, hot chocolate, etc. not just milk), I use a clear glass (vs. the white opaque cup I used in this video) so that the audience can see the techniques in detail. More specifically, the heights/depths at which I am frothing, as well as for how long. Don't worry, I used to think Dressage riders just sat on the horse and let the horse do all the work. Turns out there is technique...they control/direct everything with their hands, knees, and legs... it's just that subtle ;-) Happy Frothing!
