Nespresso Aeroccino 3

One-touch frother that makes hot foam, hot milk or cold froth, heating to 160–170°F with automatic shut-off.

By Dana WhitfieldUpdated September 2026

Why we love it

One button, three results: press once for hot, hold two seconds for cold froth. The cold setting is the reason to pick this one — cold foam for iced drinks is something most heated frothers cannot do at all, and it is what an iced latte actually needs. It stops at 160–170°F, which is the range where milk is sweetest before the proteins start tasting cooked, and the non-stick interior rinses rather than scrubs.

Pros

  • Hot foam, hot milk and cold froth from one button
  • Cold froth for iced drinks, which most heated frothers can't make
  • Stops at 160–170°F — hot enough, short of cooked
  • Non-stick interior wipes clean
  • Slim base, and it shuts itself off

Cons

  • Nespresso states cow’s milk works best and makes no promises about oat or almond
  • Holds 4.1 oz of froth — one drink at a time
  • Not dishwasher safe
  • No temperature adjustment, just the one setting
