Is the Aeroccino 4 worth it over the Aeroccino 3?

The 4 adds cold foam, a fourth program and a dishwasher-safe jug. If you only make hot lattes, the 3 does the same job for less.

Does it work with oat and almond milk?

Yes, but results vary by brand. Barista-style oat and almond milks froth best; thin milks may only heat.

How much milk can it froth at once?

The jug holds 240 ml. That is enough foam for about two lattes or cappuccinos.

Can I put the jug in the dishwasher?

The jug and whisk are dishwasher-safe. The base with the button and cord must be wiped by hand.

Does it steam milk like an espresso machine wand?

No. It heats and aerates milk automatically; you cannot adjust steam pressure or texture mid-cycle.

Bundles with a Nespresso machine and holiday sales tend to be the lowest points. Check the price history before buying standalone.

Our take on the Nespresso Aeroccino 4 Milk Frother

The Aeroccino 4 is Nespresso's countertop milk frother and steamer, with a 240 ml jug that makes hot froth, cold froth, hot milk and steamed milk at the press of one of four buttons. It is the larger, dishwasher-safe successor to the Aeroccino 3 and pairs with any espresso machine, Nespresso or not. It is a convenience appliance: it heats and aerates milk but does not pull shots. Shoppers rate it about 4 out of 5.
