AEROCCINO 3 Milk Frother

How to use the Aeroccino 3 Milk Frother

Step 1: Choose the type of milk coffee to prepare

 First, decide if you are going to prepare a cappuccino, hot chocolate, macchiato, as each type of coffee will require a different quantity of milk.

Step 2: Decide whether or not to use the spiral frothing spring

Inside the Aeroccino 3 milk frother, a whisk attaches magnetically to the bottom of the frothing pitcher. This whisk is equipped with a removable spiral spring.

For flat whites: remove the spiral spring, place the whisk at the bottom of the pitcher, and fill it with milk up to the maximum level. You can store the spiral spring by attaching it inside the lid.

For lattes or cappuccinos: leave the spiral spring attached to the whisk and place it in the pitcher. Then fill with milk up to the minimum level.

Step 3: Pour the milk

Once the milk is frothed, immediately pour it into your cup. Frothed milk is lighter than liquid milk. If you wait too long, gravity will separate the milk from the froth.

By pouring the milk right away, you will harmoniously mix the warm milk from the bottom and the froth from the top, creating the creamiest drink possible.

Step 2: Pour the milk to the preferred level

Start by placing the whisk element in the correct position, then fill the jug with milk up to either one of the two max level indicators shown on the inside of the jug: the lowest level indicator is for maximum milk froth preparations, while the highest level indicator is for the maximum milk level for preparations with no froth.

Step 3: Choose your milk froth option

Place the lid on the jug, then place the jug on the base. It’s time to choose the style of milk froth required for your coffee option – whether its hot milk for creamy hot chocolates or lattes, warm and airy milk foam for indulgent cappuccinos, warm and dense milk foam for silky smooth lattes, or cold milk foam for refreshing iced lattes or iced macchiatos.

Click the selected button and wait for it to blink (it will become steady when it’s complete) – the cold milk button will be highlighted blue, while the hot milk buttons will be red. Once frothed, pour the milk immediately into your vessel of choice.
