Maven Gadgets: My favorite Milk Frother, Kudos Nespresso

Knowing that I am addicted to Matcha Green Tea Lattes, a friend of mine recommended a milk steamer so that I could enjoy my addiction at home. I am a gadget geek. I love any kind of gadget, tool, office supplies and more. But often gadgets are a source of great disappointment failing to live up to their original promise.

The Nespresso Aeroccino lives up to it’s promise and more. I love any sort of a latte but I don’t drink coffee nor do I have a traditional steamer (as you would find on an expresso machine). Billed as a milk frother or steamer, I actually use the whisk attachment to whisk my matcha tea (which I either drink straight or as a latte). We have been known to use it to heat a single cup of water for tea. The kids can use it relatively unsupervised and have on several occasions whipped up their own hot chocolates (which are hot but not scalding).


Nespresso 3192US Aeroccino Plus

Product Features

  • 4.4 Oz max. hot or cold milk froth capacity

Looks neat. Where did you buy it from. Do you know if Costco carries it.
