Nespresso Aeroccino XL Milk Frother

This is a kitchen essential for anyone who wants to delight in a huge cappuccino without fuss and bother. My first Nespresso frother was one of the very first ones from many years ago (silver outside with handle), and that frother still works the same as day 1. It is because I was recommending it to a friend and searching for a link, that I discovered this larger version, and I couldn’t resist the splurge! i’m so glad I did! Here’s the pros & cons & tips:1) pro: yummie decadent goodness, turns any strong coffee into a masterpiece.2) tip: I use less than 1/3 cup coffee and then fill the rest of the cup with the warm frothed milk.3) tip: we use goat milk - works great. Have tried oat milk, gives less magnificent foam but still warm and nice. Have used regular milk, low fat, full and nonfat - low fat works pretty well, full fat the best. Nonfat gives results similar to oat milk. Horizon lactose free milk gives great results. We choose goat milk because we heard it is healthier.4) Con: If you hand clean in between each use then these A BREEZE to clean. If you try to use 2x back to back you will regret it - it will be harder to clean. These need to be cleaned in between each use (which is why I purchased larger capacity size). If you try to do two uses back to back the milk can ‘burn’ on the bottom. So be disciplined and always hand wash gently in between EACH use. Do not scour, clean gently.CON: Do not scoop out the finished froth with metal spoon as that will damage the inside. I bought some wooden ice tea spoons on Amazon and they are perfect for gently scooping out the foam without scratching the surface.Pro: Every person I have served a cup of coffee with this foam absolutely LOVES the result. Even folks with milk steamers say this so much easier to maintain and tastes just as good.Pro: Makes a great gift that will bring many smiles with each use.Pro: my original old one still fully functional after many years, so these built to last if treated right. I think the new one gets the froth a little warmer than the old one did. I wish the new one had a handle like my old one. It’s worth sacrificing the handle for the largest capacity one. That way two people can have a lovely generous cappuccino from one use. The old one did enough for one generous cappuccino or two skimpy ones, so my advice is to get the large capacity one like Muny new one.Tip: to use, I fill the frother with goat milk to the fill line for frothed milk (max froth lone). I plug in the base. Then I put the frother on the base AND WAIT FOR IT TO BEEP TO SHOW ME ITS READY. Then I GENTLY glide my thumb ONCE over the ‘button’ area. I don’t push, I just glide. That’s all it takes to get warm frothy yummieness. IF YOU PUSH THE DEVICE TEAFS IT AS YOU EANTING COLD MILK INSTEAD OF WARM MILK, so just gently glide your thumb over the button for warm frothy milk. Easy easy easy!Five stars, highest recommendation, hope this review and photos helpful to you!10-22-2024 update: Still working great, looks like new inside and out with near daily/twice daily use. Key to maintenance is cleaning the inside with water and soft cloth between EVERY USE (or milk residue will burn if not clean before EACH use). Also, we still use wooden ice tea spoons to gently spoon out the frothy milk into our cups. If you keep inside clean and unscratched, cleaning will be a breeze every time :).

This frother is great. The large size is very convenient. The speed at which it heats up and froths the milk is excellent. The magnetic aerator is a must as the ones that connect directly can break the machine if they get stuck. The quality of this machine is excellent as well. I’ve paid less and got less. This is not an item that you want to go cheap on as the first cheap one I bought took too long to heat and the second just stopped working.I highly recommend this brand and this specific product.

This frother makes amazing lattes as well as cold foam. It is easy to use and clean. The best part is it makes enough frothed milk for a large latte or cold foam for a large cold brew. I would definitely repurchase this item. So good!!!!

My wife can make her entire protein drink in it.1 button press and it heats up quickly.Literally just toss the whole thing in the dishwasher.5 stars

Works great. Easy to clean. Foams up fairly quickly. Solid build. Expect it to last a very long time. That will be the true test.

Love this frother. Easy to use and makes plenty of froth for two to four people. Easy to clean.

Next level frother! I love this thing! Its xlarge size enables you to make any level of milk or cream frothing for your coffee or any other creation you can think of. It is super quiet and fast when using and its easy to use...one button press to get frothy goodness. Trust me this unbelievely enhances the coffee...I now see I was living in the Flintstones era of coffee and now Im on the Jetsons level! Great value for the money as well.

Very disappointed. Does not get warm. Controls don’t really work well. Too late to return. Had a different Nespresso model for 5 years that was great. Don’t buy this one
