Good Housekeeping Megan Geall · reviewer With a small capacity and quick one-minute frothing times, we’d opt for the Aeroccino 4 every time if we were making coffee for one. The milk had a velvety texture, remained stable for over five minutes, and combined well with our coffee, ticking all the boxes for a fantastic cappuccino.Read A

Dat's Guide Wknd Tinkerer Published · reviewer That's a fair, if slightly reductive, description of the Nespresso Aeroccino 4. It froths milk hot, it froths milk cold, and it heats milk without frothing it at all if you swap the whisk. That's the entire feature list.Read B
Balance Journal Balance Journal · reviewer The Aeroccino 4 and Sage Milk Cafe come closest to silky enough for a home flat white. For pour latte art, you need a steam-wand espresso machine.Read F
