I’m trying to get myself into an at-home cofffee/matcha habit but I need a really good milk frother to make it stick. Not one of those wimpy little sticks that barely makes any foam; I need one that really spins up the froth  Willing to pay for quality - it will pay for itself very quickly if I kick the coffee shop habit. What’s your favorite? |

The Nespresso aeroccino 4 is awesome. It does hot milk, two types of hot foam (dense or airy) and cold foam. And it’s dishwasher safe. Just pour your milk in the pitcher, put the lid on, put it on the base and press the button for the foam you want. perfection!

I agree, I have the older version of the aeroccino and I'm very impressed with it.

Another vote for the Nespresso Aerrocino. Mine is the older version with a handle, but it operates the same as the newer ones.

I had this one for many years. It started slowing down this year, so I got an updated version of it with a clear carafe that I don't like nearly as much. Cleanup on the old one was a breeze, but the new one is much more difficult to get really clean. Like you, I invested in a good machine and brother so I could cut down on my coffee shop habit. I figure everything was paid for in well under a year! I absolutely love having a separate brother for my espresso machine. My Saeco semi-automatic has a built-in frother/steamer, but I can set a separate one to froth and heat while I pull shots, so Mom and I get our morning coffee much faster, which is always a good thing.

I forgot to mention - One of the best things about the brother is I can pour any coffee I might have let get too cool into it and in just a minute my coffee if hot and frothy. I figure that this along has paid for the frother! I also use it to make any powdered drinks since it blends them in so well. Maybe TMI - you can easily add Miralax to the frother as it's swirling so that here is no residue when you drink. Mom has no idea why her bodily functions work so well at my house. She thinks my coffee is just magic!  |

Marcy I have a very similar one the the linked metal small jug type one here. Believe to bought it at Walmart for about $50 CAD about 3 years ago and it’s still going strong. I use it almost everyday for my tea lattes. |

By little sticks are you referring to the aero latte? If so, and you are not getting great foam, you may be overheating the milk or using non fat milk. I use one every day ans always have foam left after the drink is done. The hot espresso comes up through the foam and its always delish!

I have the Mixpresso I got on amazon and it works well! Especially with cows milk. I drink soy and almond and it doesn’t froth as well.

I have the Nespresso mentioned above. If it stopped working today, I would go out and replace before tomorrow morning. I love it!
