Does it froth plant-based milk?

It froths barista-style oat and soy milk well. Almond and some low-fat plant milks foam thinly, so use the barista versions.

Can it heat milk without frothing?

Yes. Fit the whisk and press once for hot froth; the unit also warms milk for hot chocolate and flat whites.

About 8 oz for heating and roughly 4 oz for frothing, enough for one large or two small milk drinks.

No. The jug and whisk are hand wash only; rinse the non-stick interior and wipe the base.

Yes. It is a standalone frother and does not need a Nespresso machine, though it is sized to sit beside one.

The Aeroccino4 adds a second whisk for more foam textures and a larger jug. The Aeroccino3 is simpler and smaller.
