Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Aerolatte Deluxe Edition Milk Frother with Stand, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Just about perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
This came up while browsing on Amazon and it turns out I bought it 2 1/2 years ago--it is still going strong and ended my search for a frother that actually worked (had tried several others that definitely were lacking), even with soy milk, even right out of the refrigerator. Four AA rechargeable batteries give plenty of power and last a long time. I'm usually reluctant to give five star reviews, since very few things are perfect, but I actually don't know how to improve on this. Being able to have a mug of fresh coffee with lovely foam and a sprinkling of cinnamon any time I want gives it high marks from me. Even with our limited counter space, it has earned a permanent place--the only negative is that it's a gadget that only does one thing, but it does it well.Customer Review: Recommend using Sanyo batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this frother with Sanyo Eneloop batteries ([...]) and the performance of the two products together has been phenomenal. A single charge lasts for many weeks, while making 3-6 lattés daily. The rotational speed is also perfect and does not change that much over time (unlike alkaline batteries). It may be even a little too fast right after the charge, so I have to put a teaspoon into the cup to slow it down a bit (just make sure the spoon does not touch any moving parts). Another suggestion is to use a tall cup with the initial amount of hot milk or cream no higher than 1/4 of the overall height and tilt the cup at about 30 degree angle initially. Then gradually straighten it up as the froth fills the rest of the volumeCustomer Review: Just wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
So here's my method. Prep my 6-cup Bialetti and place on stove, turn on burner and wait one minute. During that minute part fill two (nice) mugs with 1% from the fridge and pop them in the 1500w microwave. Zap for two-minutes. The milk will then be piping hot but not boiling.
Then - and this really does make a difference - take the back of a small spoon and remove the skin that forms. The coffee should be about ready now - so take it off the heat. Now - wuzz with the aerolatte wand working from the bottom of the mug till you reach perfection. Maybe 30 seconds. Then pour the coffee into the center of the foam. Dust with chocolate and cinnamon.
All up - about 4 minutes for two mugs.
Customer Review: Amazing little tool
Summary: 5 Stars
In looking for a frother to take the place of a non-functioning steamer on my expresso machine, I came across the site featuring the Aerolatte Stainless Steel Deluxe Edition frother with stand. Since ordering it, I've been having fun creating some nifty little beverages for my husband, who can no longer have coffee or any caffeine. His favorite is a simple "Steamer". I add some type of flavored italian syrup to milk, heat it well, then froth it. In just a few seconds, it make a great foamy "head" on the milk. It also works well for frothy hot chocolate and more!
It runs on two long-lasting AA batteries and has an amazing amount of power to make froth/foam.
Customer Review: Makes a really foamy latte
Summary: 5 Stars
I have gone through about 3 of these in the last 5-6 years. Eventually their switches wear out...
But I wouldn't be without one. Every morning I make my husband and I two non fat Misto's ( brewed coffee and foamed heated milk)
If I bought the drinks retail... I would pay for an Aerolatte in one day...
It is portable and you can take it camping... You can stick it in your suitcase for trips, ( but expect your luggage to be searched after the x-ray)
I have also used it to emulsify salad dressing ( without the herbs, as they stick to the frother) and to even whip a small amount of whipped cream to pour over strawberries.
I love my Aerolatte!
