Thank you very much. You know much more than Nespresso staff, who just read from a prompt sheet. When they say they only recommend cow’s milk, they are not speaking from knowledge, they are just reading their prompt. I think Nespresso should employ you to train their staff. I have had Nespresso machines of many types for many years. I have never spoken to anybody who has actual real life experience. I have learned more from you than I ever have from them.
I clean it after use by adding cold water to the higher water line and turning the machine on. It clears the wisk and insides really well. The only time it doesn’t is if you let it sit overnight, and there’s a little bit clinging to the bottom. However, doing it this way mostly relieves the tedious task of worrying about the small wisk and its parts.
Same here, I just add few drops of dish washer to water, then just rinse with water and wipe out parts. That is also guidance from Nespresso how to clean it.
I’ve added syrups to the frother while using the hot setting and had no problem getting a good froth. I have had issues on the cold setting though. I’ve also made my own pumpkin spice creamer using pumpkin pie sauce and half & half and, OMG the creamer both smells and tastes delicious on the hot setting!
I’ve used it to make Nutella latte, I just drop a teaspoon of Nutella while the milk is already spinning and haven’t had a problem so far. Just make sure the dollop of Nutella is not so big that it gets stuck and the spring can’t turn. Also used broken up pieces of orange chocolate, caramel, very small pieces of candy cane and cocoa powder to make different kinds of lattes. I’m also gonna try out making a matcha latte in it, as I’ve done that numerous times on my breville milk frother. I also find the aeroccino easier to clean than the breville when I forget to clean the frother right away and the milk has already dried. 4.5/5 ⭐️ Edit: just wanted to add that I’ve also put eggnog and a dash of nutmeg in there to make eggnog lattes and I use barista grade oat milk as I’m lactose intolerant.
Thanks so much for sharing all those ideas, will be trying some of those out and sure lots of other subscribers will too 👍 Been meaning to try the matcha latte in it myself, so will do that soon. We have a video where we made one with the Barista Recipe Maker and also a Matcha Latte Macchiato using the Matcha pods, but not tried it in the Aeroccino yet.
This video was very helpful. I didn't know whether the spring went over the top or the bottom when putting it back on, & I saw that I had not been placing it correctly (not over the black plastic part at the bottom). I appreciated the tips as well.
Tip 11 for cleanliness freaks, guess what is the easiest way to clean your Aeroccino? Pour a tiny bit of your favorite dish soap with some water up to just over the spring and let it foam! Rinse and voilà!
Putting the Aeroccino in the fridge before frothing helps produce a good cold froth. I do this frequently, even leaving it in the fridge overnight, and there’s never been a problem. If the milk produces low froth, like some alternative milks, or half and half, I’ll spin it a few times on cold. You can then run a hot froth cycle, but watch it carefully, as the hot cycle amps up the froth. Thanks for all the good tips!
Great video which I came across just by chance. First thing I did was take off the black rubber from the cover and wash it. Never realized it should be done. Now it's all sqeeky clean. Thank you so much!
AWESOME video…and super duper tips. Thanks!! I just tried Almond Breeze in mine (hot) and it frothed beyond my expectations. Maybe because manufacturer states to shake milk prior to consumption? I was so thick I need a spoon to get the last little bit out.
I want to mention there are 2 plastic tabs on the inside of the lid to hold the magnetic spring when heating milk (no froth). This keeps the spring from getting lost or damaged. Also, the same tabs can be used to hang the lid on the side of the areoccino while adding syrups & such.
Every time I look in the bottom of someone's Aeroccino I see scalded milk and burn marks on the bottom beside the spring. The reason this happens is because the heating element is very hot and remains so for a while after the machine turns off. If you want to protect your frother and prevent this simply wait for the contents of the frother to absorb the heat from the element. I wait a minimum of 15 seconds before pouring and never get scalded milk
Another tip: if you tend to push the limit on filling it, align the notch in the lid just to the right of the button. This is especially helpful if the unit is one of the integrated ones. This way I see the mess in time and the “slosh” pattern from the whisk doesn’t directly target the notch (the weakest point to overflow). I’ve had a large reduction in messes since this change (and learning just the right level for my milk).
Love the Aerocinno 3 👌🏻 meets all my coffee requirements for Americans, Latte and Cappuccino. I don’t see the need to upgrade to the barista one for my needs. I’ve always found that I’ve got decent enough foam with semi skimmed milk, healthier option than full fat as well.
Cheers Jeff and that sounds really nice! Did you take the spring off for that and did you mix it with a bit of milk or just put the ice cream straight in?
@@A2BProductions took the spring off and let the ice cream melt a little first. It got a little frothy but still retained its consistency. I used good ice cream.
I love the Starbucks cinnamon creamer 😋 They come in 3 flavors. I find that they froth up better than 2% milk and table cream or half and half cream are excellent for a thick rich froth.
I came to this video after getting frustrated with how the milk would pour out and then I'd have to shake out the foam and eventually make a huge mess. Tip#1 👌 Thank you sir!
Not a tip but more like a warning, the whisk can lose its properties after several times being used and it will stop making a frothy milk; I bought a replacement to prove my theory and it was the problem, indeed. Also there's a recommendation about not leaving the Aeroccino put on its base when connected to the power, so make sure the base is not connected to the power.
i use oat milk (a brand of Greece actually ) Olympos oat and huzelnut flavour. i put the milk into the level just to cover the whisk. It turns out very nice for cappuchino latte and the huzelnut inside the milk gives my coffee a very nice flavour (i like sweet epresso)
Thank you for the informative video. I usually make my latte's on an inexpensive Delonghi from Target. It's quite a process, but, I like my milk at 180 degrees. Can you froth and make the milk extra hot?
Interesting that as I haven’t tried making a cortado with the Creatista yet. Do you still find the milk too frothy even on the lowest froth level then?
What do you suggest for a frother that is not frothing but it is spinning and heating up? I've cleaned it and cannot figure out why it stopped frothing.
Hi 👋 Did you find a solution? It might be worth getting a new spring or whisk. I had an aeroccino that stopped frothing in the past and that fixed it. If it’s in warranty Nespresso might even send one out for free.
Got the same issue with similar Tchibo frother. Did 2 or 3 times perfect foam and that's over. Just heating, spinning and no foam at all. Found video of a woman, who tells to use 'gray acid' or few tabs of Aspirine, melt in water and clean with this solution. If it doesn't work, I'll check warranty terms.
I find you can hank the lid on the side of the aeroccino with the little plastic bit under the lid. it allows it to vent and stops it smelling if not being used especially on a hot day.
Cheers Darren, I’ll give that a go. I had the Aeroccino 4 for a long time and didn’t find the odor as much of an issue after getting a dishwasher but was a problem before that and when I had the Aeroccino 3. Shame you can’t put the aero 3 in a dishwasher isn’t it. Thanks for the tip 👍🏼
@@A2BProductions I have both too, wasn’t sure you could put the AC4 in the dishwasher. You learn somthing everyday. They don’t seem too different in build too
Don't know how much of a "Tip" this is or exciting, but the magnetic swirler (on mine) fits up into the two fingers under the lid. For my use, after cleaning and setting it aside for next day, I clip it under the lid as a reminder that I did indeed clean it.
Hi 👋 We have quite a few videos and a playlist where you can see it in operation but a dedicated aeroccino cleaning video is a good idea 👍🏼 Will see what we can do 😁
I have the large stainless version with 4 buttons That I got from William Sonoma it’s the best thing outside of my Breville Baristapro espresso machine.
Tip 8 - is a must if making 2 drinks back to back, clean the milk out, and put cold water in for 30 seconds to cool the machine, otherwise the milk wont heat or foam enough....
Hi 👋 We actually made a video where we measured the temperature of the milk against the other Nespresso frothers in case that helps. Here's the link - ua-cam.com/video/Puox-8m3GDE/v-deo.html
The aeroccino4 and Barista Recipe Maker are hotter but having used the steam wand on the Creatista machines, I personally feel they are the way to go if you like your milk based coffees hot ☕️
This is a great unit even if you don't have a Nespresso machine, I have a Saeco Superautomatica and using its steam wand is annoying, because it is a single boiler. I can use the Aeroccino while brewing up with the Saeco. Since in North America we have wimpy 15 or 20 amp circuits at 120V, the Aeroccino with its 450 watts also won't overload a circuit for the minute or two it needs to run.
I didn’t know about removing the spring. I knew about the cold and hot thing. When I bought this one from QVC they told us about that. I have tried almond milk, oat milk and pumpkin flavored oat milk. None of them really thicken at all like cold foam at Starbucks, I didn’t realize that there were barista versions. I don’t think my supermarket sells that. I knew about the magnetic quality of the spring. I just put it back in the machine when it is dry.
Thanks for sharing! Yeah if you can get hold of some Barista Edition plant milks I think you’ll really see a difference. We have a video on the channel where we compare a few brands like Oatly MOMA Alpro and Rude Health in case you want to check that out.
Of the milk frothers I’ve tried on the channel so far it’s still the best along with the Aeroccino4 but I do want to review more milk frothers going forward. It’s worth keeping an eye on the Nespresso website as they sometimes give good discounts if you buy it along with a Nespresso machine.
I have put my frother in the frig for years no problem. Soy milk works great. Almond not. My whisps are still in awesome condition after 6 years, but the magnet in the frother gave out. Nespresso gave me discount on new 3.
Hi 👋 Do you mean different types of dairy or alternative milks? 🙂 If dairy then this might be the one - What Milk to Use With a Nespresso Aeroccino Milk Frother? | Whole Milk, Semi Skimmed or Skimmed? ua-cam.com/video/G0k9ev1BE2w/v-deo.html
I have been having a problem. I have the Aeroccino base built into my nespresso machine. I have use all sorts of milk; whole, 2%, 1%, and I have issues of with the milk frothing. It only froths from a carton and not a plastic container. Why???
@@A2BProductions , so I have tried boxed milk from the refrigerator section of the store, as well as the box shelf milk that doesn't need to be cold until you open it. They both frothe perfectly! The bottles milk, not so much. I never had this problem in the states.
My aeroccino isn't frothing my 2% grass fed milk...there doesn't seem to be any issue with the whisk or device itself. I tried to decrease the amount of milk as well and it still came out flat. I tried all of the FAQ from their site (cold milk, clean the whisk, etc) and nothing seems to work. From the reviews I've seen, many have had success with this type of milk. Any tips?
Is it a new aeroccino or have you had it a while? One of my aeroccinos stopped working in the past and Nespresso sent a new whisk and spring out and it fixed the problem. Don't know if that's worth a try 🤔
Hi there 👋 We tend to just use it for one cup to be honest. With less milk you can make one cappuccino or one latte macchiato and with more milk (and no spring) one latte coffee. You may get 2 cappuccinos - Nespresso 100ml size - at a push but that’s something I’d need to try out again to check for sure.
@@A2BProductions Thanks for the prompt reply. I thought that it looked like just one cup and, with the time taken to clean and dry it all between uses, I could end up with a queue in the kitchen every morning. Strategy rethink needed. :)
Why put in fridge....you can run the milk on blue setting couple times get it frothy and then before serving run on hot one last time if you want extra froth
I do it the other way. I froth it hot , wait a few seconds and run it with the cold option to get a better froth. I have found that when I use the longer lasting, ultra filtered milk, I get a much better froth though. It never fails.
👉 Il est inutile de mettre l’appareil au réfrigérateur. Utilisez d’abord le cycle lait froid ( bouton bleu ) et lorsque que la mousse a déjà monté, faites un deuxième cycle ( bouton bleu ). J’obtiens une superbe mousse pour 2 cappuccino ☕️☕️
Yes but Nespresso don't recommend it. There's also a big difference in how much froth you get between the milks. The Barista edition plant milks are good and we have a few videos on the channel comparing them in case that's of interest.
Thank you very much.

Thanks so much Bob, really appreciate the kind words and support of the channel too 😁 Great to hear when we've been able to help out a subscriber!
I sprinkle some cinnamon in the milk while the machine is still frothing. It makes great aromatic milk, perfect for fall coffee 🍂☕️❤️
That sounds great!! Going to try that 👍
great tip!
Great video thanks! I found that that when you remove the spring whisk, it can be store on the two prongs underneath the lid.
I passed mine to my neighbour so have passed all these tips to him. I did not realise how versatile this gem of a machine is. Thanks very much
Yeah it does a lot more than you think doesn’t it! Hope your neighbour finds the tips useful 😁

Another tip for extra frothier milk, is to shake the milk really well before you put it in the frother. You will get a much thicker and more froth.
Thanks for sharing 🙂👍
I make my own creamer. 1 part sweetened condensed milk, 1 part milk. Shake vigorously. Then 1 part heavy whipping cream. Delicous
I’ve added syrups to the frother while using the hot setting and had no problem getting a good froth. I have had issues on the cold setting though.

I didn't think we were allowed to add things into the aeroccino. I thought i read somewhere that we were only supposed to put milk or nut milks in.
Cold frothy pineapple juice is banging in this!!

Thanks for the tip on removing the spring! I didn’t realise I could do that as I don’t like too much froth ☕️🤗
Really happy we could help ☕️😁 Thanks for sharing!
Under the lid there are two lugs. These are for holding the spring when you want to have less frothy milk.
Seems like this is the true reason for the lugs , I used it to hang off the AC3 to stop it sweating and smelling when not in use.
I never knew that 😂 Thanks, will try it out. Great tip 👍🏼
@@darrengaynor4966 lol suppose that could be another use. 😂
Reading the comments to see if someone has mentioned this before, discovering other great tips 👍🏻
Putting the espresso shot in there makes a Blue Bottle Shakerato, absolutely delicious and foamy!!

I also add a wee bit of chocolate powder into the milk/ creamer
Never realized the “barista edition” - thanks for the tip! Cause my other oat milk doesn’t get super frothy ♥️
Yeah the barista edition makes a massive difference. Hope you like it 👍🏼
If I just want to heat up the milk, can I remove the whole whisk altogether and just use the flask alone to heat up?

Excellent... Thanks ! 🤗
Thanks 😁
Very informative and quite helpful. Thanks.
Great to hear, thanks!
I use milk from a farm and it froth’s up amazing
I need to try this 👍🏼
i would just use the cold froth to start with then change to hot froth. in this way u can get longer frothing time as u like
Thanks for sharing 🙂👍
The inside of the cap is a holder for the spring when it’s not being used for frothing.
When you remove the metal spring from the whisk, you can store it on the inside of the transparent lid!
I add my Torani syrup to the aeroccino rather than to the coffee. Makes the flavour fuller.
Good to hear you've used a syrup in your aeroccino with no problems. Thanks for sharing 👍
I've heard other people say they do this, I'm tempted. You have no problems?
I put my creamer in there once- it was very good!
Another tip. The whisk can be stored at the groove located in the middle of the cover

what is the best milk for frothing....oat, almond, milk, 1/2 and 1/2?
If you try to froth milk without the cap on, will that change anything with the temperature sensor?
Great video... Super agree, especially Tip 1; after a couple of seconds, froth is gone and you're left with just hot milk.
Cheers...
Makes such a difference doesn’t it. Thanks Liam 👍🏼
Can we froth the milk more than once? I tend to like super stiff/dense froth!
I wanted to see it used and cleanup after

I use oat milk barely makes any froth recently used half and half leftover from Xmas and made a very stiff foam and thick milk !
Different oat milks gave completely different results. The only one in NZ that froths beautifully is actually called The Boring One.
Store the spring on the tabs on the bottom side of the lid when not needed.
Great extra tip 👍🏼
I am considering getting one of these. Does it make the milk quite hot as i hate luke warm like some coffee machines make it?

Can you make cold hot chocolate or just make hot and cool down?

How much milk we have to add in the milk forther for a cup of coffee
Put the spring in the lid. It attaches there.
Did you know you can pop in the spring on the inner part of the lid? It has a special part to attach the spring onto the lid.
Only found that out after making this video from the comments, thanks for sharing 👍
@@A2BProductions can you share a pic of that please? Thank you :)
Yes, some of us read the instructions 🙄
I can’t take off the metal piece to clean it any idea how to take it off
When I do my cappuccino or Expresso, I don’t feel milk is hot enough. How can I resolve this issue
is it still worth it to buy it? after 2 years. its 75 euro
Of the milk frothers I’ve tried on the channel so far it’s still the best along with the Aeroccino4 but I do want to review more milk frothers going forward. It’s worth keeping an eye on the Nespresso website as they sometimes give good discounts if you buy it along with a Nespresso machine.

I make hot chocolate with it as well, just add your sugar , Vanilla flavour and cocoa powder and your cup with be ready >
Thanks for sharing! We made one with chocolate callets on the channel not too long ago but haven’t tried it with powder yet. Will give that a go 👍🏼
I have put my frother in the frig for years no problem. Soy milk works great. Almond not. My whisps are still in awesome condition after 6 years, but the magnet in the frother gave out. Nespresso gave me discount on new 3.
Where is the video on the different types of milks please
Hi 👋 Do you mean different types of dairy or alternative milks? 🙂 If dairy then this might be the one - What Milk to Use With a Nespresso Aeroccino Milk Frother? | Whole Milk, Semi Skimmed or Skimmed?

Is there a trick for almond milk
I would say to buy a barista edition almond milk but hope others will chip in if they have suggestions for you 🙂
Great tips! I just got this, and the instructions are so sparse, more like IKEA furniture diagrams 😅
They don’t make it easy sometimes do they 😅 Really glad we could help and thanks for commenting ☕️😊
I have been having a problem. I have the Aeroccino base built into my nespresso machine. I have use all sorts of milk; whole, 2%, 1%, and I have issues of with the milk frothing. It only froths from a carton and not a plastic container. Why???
Not sure on that one I'm afraid but would be great to hear if you got to the bottom of it 🤔
@@A2BProductions , so I have tried boxed milk from the refrigerator section of the store, as well as the box shelf milk that doesn't need to be cold until you open it. They both frothe perfectly! The bottles milk, not so much. I never had this problem in the states.
Interesting, don’t think I’ve ever tried a long life milk off the shelf so will give that a go 👍🏼
My aeroccino isn't frothing my 2% grass fed milk...there doesn't seem to be any issue with the whisk or device itself. I tried to decrease the amount of milk as well and it still came out flat. I tried all of the FAQ from their site (cold milk, clean the whisk, etc) and nothing seems to work. From the reviews I've seen, many have had success with this type of milk. Any tips?
Is it a new aeroccino or have you had it a while? One of my aeroccinos stopped working in the past and Nespresso sent a new whisk and spring out and it fixed the problem. Don't know if that's worth a try 🤔
@@A2BProductions I just bought the set from Costco 2 days ago! Lol. I’ll try contacting them and seeing what they say though. Thank you!
The Nespresso instruction video says the spring is for cold milk frothing and "you can remove it to make hot milk drinks". So I did.
How many cups of coffee, would you say, can you make at one time?
Hi there 👋 We tend to just use it for one cup to be honest. With less milk you can make one cappuccino or one latte macchiato and with more milk (and no spring) one latte coffee. You may get 2 cappuccinos - Nespresso 100ml size - at a push but that’s something I’d need to try out again to check for sure.
@@A2BProductions Thanks for the prompt reply. I thought that it looked like just one cup and, with the time taken to clean and dry it all between uses, I could end up with a queue in the kitchen every morning. Strategy rethink needed. :)
Why put in fridge....you can run the milk on blue setting couple times get it frothy and then before serving run on hot one last time if you want extra froth
Never tried that, will give it a go 👍🏼
I do this technique as well. Otherwise there’s only enough froth for a latte.
I do it the other way. I froth it hot , wait a few seconds and run it with the cold option to get a better froth. I have found that when I use the longer lasting, ultra filtered milk, I get a much better froth though. It never fails.
J’utilise également cette technique et j’obtiens une mousse très dense et j’en ai assez pour 2 cappuccino ☕️ ☕️
👉 Il est inutile de mettre l’appareil au réfrigérateur. Utilisez d’abord le cycle lait froid ( bouton bleu ) et lorsque que la mousse a déjà monté, faites un deuxième cycle ( bouton bleu ). J’obtiens une superbe mousse pour 2 cappuccino ☕️☕️
Oooo…some date syrup, espresso shots, steamed milk & a sprinkle of cardamom
How hot does it come out?
Hi 👋 We have a video on the channel where we tested the heat of all 3 of the Nespresso milk frothers in case that helps
It works with plant milk?
Yes but Nespresso don't recommend it. There's also a big difference in how much froth you get between the milks. The Barista edition plant milks are good and we have a few videos on the channel comparing them in case that's of interest.
