Nespresso Aeroccino 3 Review

The Aeroccino 3 makes the process of milk frothing very simple. It is equipped with a single button and has a one-touch operation mode. Just pour fresh milk into the jug and press the button for one second to heat your dairy product or make foam in hot milk. Press it for two seconds for frothing cold milk.

This model has a Teflon interior coating, which is non-stick, and a plastic housing, which comes in three stylish colors.

The tool contains a whisk, which is used for making a dense froth. If less frothy milk is required, the whisk is removed. The appliance turns off automatically after the process of frothing is finished.

The maximum jar capacity for heated milk is 8 oz. (240 ml) and 4 oz. (120 ml) for milk foam.

The device is not dishwasher safe and can be rinsed with water and soap. This appliance is very quick at work with no vibration or noise, which is highly appreciated by the customers.

Review of Aeroccino Plus Milk Frother

The Aeroccino Plus has a stainless chrome outer coating and a Teflon interior, which is non-stick. The capacity of this model is 4.4 oz. (130 ml) for making froth and 8.4 oz. (250 ml) for heated milk. The pitcher has indicators of its minimum and maximum capacity level. The tool has a detachable base. It has a black handle for more comfortable use. There is a single button on the jug, which launches the process of frothing. The appliance makes hot and cold milk foam and heats milk.

The device is not dishwasher safe and should be hand washed by rinsing it under a running faucet. This is the fastest appliance. It is quiet at work and prepares incredible froth.

Difference Between Aeroccino Plus vs 3 vs 4

Just like kids growing up in one family, we can trace common features and various peculiarities in all three of the frothers. Let’s review the main differences in the elements of their design, cleaning options, functionality, and certainly their price.

Design Elements

The Aeroccino 4 and Plus have a chrome housing, and the Aeroccino 3 has a plastic cover, which is available in assorted colors. Among the three, only the model # 4 is ceramic inside, while the models # 3 and Plus have a regular coating, which is non-stick.

The model # 3 doesn’t have a handle in comparison with its competitors.

The model # 4 is the heaviest one due to the ceramic coating and is the largest one is comparison vs Aeroccino Plus (the lightest in the category). The capacity of all models is approximately the same.

Milk Froth Options

The Aeroccino 4 is the winner in this group, because it can offer more frothing options. There are four settings on its base for making foam of various textures.

The other models have a single button with no mode selection. They have one whisk, which should be detached if you want less foam in your milk.

Cleaning Methods

Again, the Aeroccino 4 is the best solution, because it is the only tool that is dishwasher safe. The other two appliances should be cleaned manually, because their design prevents them from being submerged in water.

Cost of Models

Talking about the budget, we can omit the most expensive Aeroccino Plus, as this model is discontinued. If we compare the Aeroccino 3 vs 4, the first frother is the cheapest device, but it has fewer options.

Conclusion

MilkFrotherTop sums up the most significant features among these Nespresso frothers. In fact, there is no right or wrong decision between these products.

If you are on a budget and want a simple frothing device, opt for the Aeroccino 3. If you need a quality appliance designed for best results, the Aeroccino 4 will be the right choice. You will no doubt enjoy this multifunctional frother, which will make your daily coffee routine a pleasure.
