What is a milk frother?
A milk frother is a device that allow you to create thick and creamy texture called froth with regular or plant-based milk. This froth is typically added to coffees such as cappuccinos and lattes.
To create the perfect coffee at home, there are different types of electric countertop milk frothers: a traditional steam wand, an electronic whisk, or a standalone frother. At Nespresso, outside our range of coffee machine with integrated milk solution, we have our own range of standalone milk frothers, including the Aeroccino 3, the Aeroccino 4, Aeroccino XL, and the Barista milk frother.
Why do I need a milk frother?
If you enjoy your coffee with milk, a standalone milk frother is a must-have! This device allows you to create a hot or cold milk froth of incomparable creaminess, ready in just a few minutes.
The major advantage of standalone milk frothers lies in their versatility: they adapt to all types of milk (from regular milk to plant-based milk), are remarkably easy to clean, and consistently produce froth of quality worthy of the best coffees.
From refreshing iced coffee to indulgent mocha recipes, this device transforms the preparation of delicious frothy coffees into a truly enjoyable moment, accessible to everyone. Whether you are a novice or an informed enthusiast, let yourself be guided to create drinks worthy of a professional barista, all in the comfort of your kitchen.

What is the best milk to use for a milk frother?
- Whole milk creates a thicker and creamier froth when frothed, giving more body to your coffee drink.
- Semi-skimmed and skimmed milk are much lighter and create larger quantities of froth with larger air bubbles, suitable for a more delicate latte or cappuccino.
- As for plant-based milk alternatives, soy, almond, and oat milk can also be used in a frother.
- Our advice: For the best milk froth, use refrigerated milk. Results will always vary, so the best advice is to explore different milk brands with your home milk frother.
AEROCCINO 3 Milk Frother
How to use the Aeroccino 3 Milk Frother
How to use the Aeroccino 3 Milk Frother?
From cold milk to hot milk, use the Aeroccino 3 milk frother for a perfect iced latte recipe!
- For cold milk: press and hold the button for two seconds until it lights up in blue. In 60 seconds, your frothed cold milk will be ready.
- For hot milk: Press the button once, the light will turn red, and the milk will be ready in 70-80 seconds.
Step 1: Choose the type of milk coffee to prepare
First, decide if you are going to prepare a cappuccino, hot chocolate, macchiato, as each type of coffee will require a different quantity of milk.
Step 2: Decide whether or not to use the spiral frothing spring
Inside the Aeroccino 3 milk frother, a whisk attaches magnetically to the bottom of the frothing pitcher. This whisk is equipped with a removable spiral spring.
For flat whites: remove the spiral spring, place the whisk at the bottom of the pitcher, and fill it with milk up to the maximum level. You can store the spiral spring by attaching it inside the lid.
For lattes or cappuccinos: leave the spiral spring attached to the whisk and place it in the pitcher. Then fill with milk up to the minimum level.
Step 3: Pour the milk
Once the milk is frothed, immediately pour it into your cup. Frothed milk is lighter than liquid milk. If you wait too long, gravity will separate the milk from the froth.
By pouring the milk right away, you will harmoniously mix the warm milk from the bottom and the froth from the top, creating the creamiest drink possible.
How to clean your Aeroccino 3 Milk Frother?
It is recommended to clean the Aeroccino 3 milk frother after each use to avoid residue buildup. The non-stick coating of the pitcher facilitates quick and effective cleaning.
Since the pitcher is waterproof and not dishwasher compatible, simply clean it with clear water using a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
Ensure that the bottom of the frothing pitcher is completely dry before placing it back on the base of the appliance.
