Nespresso has “combined coffee culture with style” and created a new milk frother for coffee fans, the Aeroccino4.
The Aeroccino4 is more versatile and convenient than its predecessors. With two types of hot foam, hot milk and cold foam, the Aeroccino4 offers a wide choice to prepare more coffee and milk recipes at home in a simple way.
With one single whisk, one can now do all the preparations: pour in the milk and select the desired button to obtain a milk froth for a variety of recipes. The Aeroccino4 is also dishwasher proof to ease cleaning.
According to Nespresso, the Aeroccino4 offers the following key benefits and features:
- The Aeroccino4 provides the user with two types of hot milk froth (airy or dense) for even more incomparable recipes
- The Aeroccino4 is able to prepare a cold milk froth and hot milk preparation for your hot chocolate or caffé latte
- It uses a single whisk for all preparations
- It is dishwasher proof (below 70°C / 158°F)
Max capacities
- For hot or cold milk froth: 120 ml (for two Nespresso Cappuccino’s or one Latte Macchiato)
- For hot milk: 240 ml
Preparation times
- For hot milk froth: approximately 80 seconds
- For cold milk froth: approximately 80 seconds
