The modern market responds to an increasing demand of milk frothers by creating a great variety of competitive products. The consumers have become overwhelmed with a range of choices offered by the brands.
In this article, MilkFrotherTop explores the key features and the main differences between the three nifty options produced by Nespresso – Aeroccino models #3, #4, and Plus. The following Nespresso milk frother review will show you what we have found during our research.
Comparison of Nespresso Milk Frothers
Aeroccino is an electric appliance for milk frothing produced by Nespresso as a stand-alone device. It can be purchased individually or bundled with an espresso machine. We are going to compare the three models and review their capabilities in order to determine the best tool that is worth your money.
| Review | Model | Color | Dimensions | Weight | Handle | Noise |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Aeroccino 3 View Details | Black, white, red | 10 x 10 x 18.3 cm (4 x 4 x 7.2 inches) | 0.86 kg | No | Low |
 | Aeroccino 4 View Details | Chrome | 18 x 18 x 21 cm (7 x 7 x 8.3 inches) | 1.0 kg | Present | Low |
 | Aeroccino Plus View Details | Stainless chrome | 10.4 x 10.4 x 17 cm (4 x 4 x 6.7 inches) | 0.45 kg | Present | Low |
The Aeroccino Plus is no longer manufactured; however, all frothing devices are worth mentioning.
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.
Features of Nespresso Aeroccino 4
The Aeroccino 4 is developed with a ceramic coating inside and a chrome cover. It is equipped with a comfortable handle for easy pouring.
The appliance is capable of producing 8 oz. (240 ml) of heated milk and 4 oz. (120 ml) of hot and cold foam. It includes a whisk suitable for all types of froth. The tool has a very quiet operation mode.
There are four buttons on the detachable base, which offer several options for froth, making for a variety of beverages:
- cold foam;
- heated milk (for hot chocolate);
- dense foam (for macchiato);
- airy foam (for cappuccino).
The appliance is dishwasher safe, including the pitcher and attachments. This device is quite versatile, but it is easy to use. Pour your dairy product into the jug and select the button to make a desired beverage.
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.

Hi, guys, I’ve read this article and I’m wondering whether Aeroccino works with and non-dairy milk, such as soy milk?

Last week I bought Aeroccino 4 and now it’s not working properly. I mean it launches the process, but it’s not frothing the milk. What should I do?
Ann, I’m really sorry about that. However, I believe warranty will help you to solve this issue. At least, you can contact hot-line and they will help you with troubleshooting.
I love this Aeroccino, but the temperature of milk is too hot for me.
It’s hot enough – nothing special
Me neither, it’s warm enough and it’s not hot!
I’m really confused now. I intend to buy this frother, but now I’m afraid that the froth will be too hot for me…
Kelly, you shouldn’t be afraid of too hot milk. The thing is temperature perception is different in all the people, thus, someone would say it’s to hot, for someone – it’s cold. You can be sure, that the milk temperature can’t exceed 70C.
Hi, everyone! Thank you for the review of the best products ever. Could you tell me where to buy one of these devices except Amazon? And what would be the price for this?
Hi Olly, thank you for your question. In fact you can buy Aeroccino anywhere where the electrical appliances are. I can appear in online and offline stores of Best Buy, Walmart, EBay etc. The price can vary from store to store, but the price range is usually the same. Besides, these devices can appear on sale, thus you can get it for a really good price.

Why do you promote Amazon only?
Dean_Man, there is no promotion of Amazon. The reason why the buttons lead to Amazon service, is that it’s quite easy to compare with other devices on this service.
