Read our full Nespresso Aeroccino 4 review →
What we like
- Genuinely simple, one dial, two whisks, no learning curve
- Compact footprint that doesn't dominate counter space next to a Nespresso machine
- Consistent, repeatable results cycle after cycle
What we don't
- Only two froth modes with no in-between density control
- Smaller capacity than rival automatic frothers, so no batching for a crowd
- Non-stick coating on the jug interior can scratch and wear with dishwasher use
