- How to make frothed milk without a machine, for perfect lattes and cappuccinos. Use an Aerolatte to make foamy, frothed milk. That's frothed and foamy milk, without steam! Aerolatte, a portable device, froths milk in less than a minute & the clean-up is much simpler than a cappuccino machine. The Aerolatte milk frother makes foam for lattes and cappuccinos that stays perky and foamy for over 30 minutes. You can use the Aerolatte with espresso coffee or even regular coffee. The Aerolatte can also be used to mix drinks.

@Jay Lex
😂....
I asked about milk frother....
Not vibrator for ur...........
Fill in the blank as u wish....😂😂
Thanks man you made my life easier. I mean my wife's life. I guess that means my life.
couple goals
lmaooo
Ha! Yes... so goes the saying- "Happy wife, happy life!" May you both enjoy!
Nice comment ☺️☺️😅
The cutest thing I’ve seen all morning 😩♥️
I love this gadget! I bought it and I never drank so much coffee in my life. No more regular coffee.
Ha! Glad you've had so much success and enjoyment with your Aerolatte. It does change the whole coffee drinking experiene with minimal effort. The 1-2-3 cleanup process is in part what makes it so great. That and of course those delicious drinks it produces. Enjoy!
I've been using this milk frother wrong the whole timee 😭 thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for the feedback! So glad you learned how to froth milk properly from the video. Enjoy your hand frother and all the delicious coffees, lattes, cappuccinos, and other great drinks you can now make for yourself and others!
Lol me too!
Read my Blooody comment !!!
Thank you... btw, your original comment regarding how others are frothing milk isn't being published for some reason. Please try re-posting it. In any case, thanks for the positive feedback.
What were you doing wrong?
You should’ve used a clear cup to demonstrate how much the milk really expands. I received one of these for Christmas and I absolutely love it! It’s significantly cheaper than an actual milk steamer and the results are just as good, if not better. Like dude in the video says, the froth this little wand makes is almost indestructible.
Very glad to hear you're loving your frother. It does make a great gift as it's used and enjoyed by many on a daily basis. Happy Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Frothing!!!
I just purchased my frother on Amazon....thank you for this step by step video. Now I can save money ..now that I wont have to go to Starbucks or Dunkin....
At a daily cost of $7 for a latte, your little hand frother will be sending you on vacation at the end of each year! Once you master the frothing technique (to your liking) your coffee drinks will be just as good, and you can even buy Starbucks beans to use in your own Espresso or drip coffee machine. If you make an Espresso shot or two, it will even smell like Starbucks in your kitchen for about 30 seconds :-) Enjoy!!!
DaAlski78520 lol
Thank u I needed that laugh🤣🤣
@DaAlski78520 lmao yet ur probably a scary ass old man hiding behind a screen at least she looks good enough to show herself and isn’t and insecure pos like you,js
Thanks for demoing! We have one and I knew I wasn’t using it right because the froth would disappear quickly. I knew there was a better motion for getting better froth.
That's awesome...I'm glad you found this video because fresh froth that you make yourself is super satisfying (too look at and drink!)!! Thank you for taking the time and leaving the positive feedback. Happy Frothing and Enjoy!
Thank you for the amazing demo and tip! I’ve been wondering why so many people are leaving bad reviews on websites about Frothers but it’s because they’re doing it wrong by putting it all the way down in the cup and damaging the frother.
Very happy to hear this "how to" on milk frothing helped you and even more pleased that you took to the time to comment. I really do appreciate the positive feedback. I often try to help viewers improve their froth via this comment section, but I didn't realize hand frothers were presenting such a prevalent problem. I hope others will continue to find this video and be so kind as to drop a positive comment the way you did! Enjoy and happy frothing!!
Thank you and you have a very clean stove :)
Ha! Thank you for noticing and thank you for the positive feedback. Happy Frothing!!
strange - upgraded his Frother - but not his ceramic stove- Needs Stainless Steen top !!
@@melaniok6729 none of your business :)
I use 1/2 and 1/2. I froth the cold half and half in a very tall plastic tupperware tumbler about 45 sec to 1 min. then I heat in micro for about 30 to 40 sec. and watch it foam up then pour over the coffee. It comes out great this way.
Interesting. I'm always weary of using plastic in the microwave (despite what the labels say) for health reasons. I'm sure it took a lot of trial and error, in terms of timing, so as not to let the half n half overflow in the microwave LOL! Have you tried heating the half n half, frothing it, and then sticking it back in the microwave for the "foaming" effect? The added heat at the beginning of the process definitely makes for easier, faster, thicker, and longer lasting froth.
I wouldn't use plastic in the microwave...I use a separate microwave-safe large mug. Personally, I avoid using plastic for cooking whenever I can.
Was using it incorrectly your demostration was the best one.Thank you Terry
Awesome.. I'm glad you're on your way to some nice thick froth in your lattes, cappuccinos, matchas or whatever your choice of beverage is. Thank you for the positive feedback and for leaving the comment. Happy Frothing!
Thank you - your tips saved me upgrading from my frother wand to an expensive frothing machine!
That's awesome. True value added... I appreciate the feedback as the goal of the channel is to help save others time, money, and frustration. Btw, I created a video comparing a hand frother to the Nespresso Aerocino 3 to help people buying either one for the first time and for people exactly in your situation though in many cases it's people who already own a frothing machine that they got for free with the purchase of a Nespresso machine (vs. someone who bought a frothing wand first). If you haven't watched it already, you may find the video interesting. Either way, enjoy the new found benefits of the frother wand!
Thank you. The milk gets sweeter as you warm it up. The peak of this subtle sweetness is between 57C and 66C (135-150F). Enjoy!
Great info for frothing milk, and yes, there is science behind that. Thank you for sharing this.
@@efficientway No problem. Thank you for the video!
Thank you !! I got this gadget as a gift but it didn't have any instructions. I love cappuccinos 😊
That's awesome... a hand frother is truly a gift that keeps on giving each and every day (or at least each time you use it)! Especially for people like you that love their lattes, cappuccinos, and the froth that makes them so delicious. And it's a smart gift to give someone as they will likely think of you (at least for the first month LOL!!) each time they take that first sip in the morning. Enjoy and thank you for the comment!
Got mine on AliExpress for 2 bucks and didn’t wait months for it. Came quick and works 👍🏻
Nice! Don't forget to check out some of the other frothing videos on this channel for some creative drinks to make with your new frother. There's a video on a cool new drink (alcoholic) that will be released soon too. So please check back soon or subscribe. Enjoy!
Looking into these for visiting family and trips. Had no clue how they worked or what to expect. Thanks so much for showing us.
Hand frothers are perfect for travelling, using at the office, in an RV, a boat, a tent, etc. There's no reason to miss out on a frothy latte or cappuccino when you're visiting family or on vacation, let alone have to get up, get dressed and run down to the nearest Starbucks to pay $7 a drink when you're supposed to be relaxing on the balcony in your bathrobe :-) If your hotel has a mini-fridge you're golden. Worst case you'll need to dump a bunch of those mini-creamers with the pull bag tabs in a cup and start frothing LOL!!!
Thrilled with the tip! I just got a French Press, frothier, pouring cup and some coffee art tools. I had a Keurig espresso and latte maker. After 2 years the frothed died, and I was sick of buying the rare pods online. Thanks.
Enjoy! The coffee art is quite a skill to master, but very impressive once you do! :-)
Thank you! Bought one, did it wrong, watched your video, did it right! 👍
Niiiice! It's quite satisfying to produce your own milk froth isn't it? It tastes great and looks great! Thank you for the comment and happy frothing. Enjoy!
A good design does not need to change. Just bought a new Moka pot and one of these Aerolatte whisks today. Your video gave me some ideas for my usual coffee...
That's awesome. If you haven't seen them already, I have some videos where I use the Aerolatte to froth not only milk, but also fruit juices, hot chocolate, "milky coffee", alcoholic drinks, etc. Plus, I froth them all up in a clear glass so you can really see the Aerolatte in action. Thank you for the feedback and comment. Enjoy the new Moka pot and frother!
I have one I hadn’t used in a while. This was a great refresher on “how to”. Thanks.
Very happy to hear it was helpful. Thank you for the + feedback. Good luck getting re-acquainted with your old frother, and happy frothing! I'll be doing some follow-up videos with the Aerolatte so be sure to check back or subscribe to be notified. Enjoy!
I bought a frother from Ikea for $2.99; it came with no instructions except to dispose of properly. It looks like the Aerolotte so I hope that by following your demonstration I will be able to make a delicous cup of latte at home.
If the mixer from Ikea is the same design as the Aerolatte, you should be in great shape, and on your way to enjoying the perfect latte or cappuccino. Just remember to heat the milk a bit before frothing. It definitely makes a difference in terms of ease, speed, and foam "staying power" (i.e. how long the foam lasts) LOL!
@@efficientway Thanks a lot for your video, I not only benefited from your video but also from your reply to Meghan Byrne.
Awesome... enjoy your Aerolatte and all the tasty drinks you will make with it! Thank you for the positive feedback.
I get the milk straight from the cow, when I want it frothed I get the cow to run around a little bit and it gets the milk organically and naturally frothed. Straight from the cow 🐄 but I guess you could sit there and make some froth if you wanted to. I’m just a little old fashioned and prefer it the way nature intended to make the cow froth the milk for me 🥛. Happy frothing cheers 🥂
And you're getting all that fresh cream for an even better froth! Just one thing I can't figure out.... how do you get the cow to run? :-) Thanks for the smile matey. Enjoy!
This was very helpful. I just received a frother for Christmas and can't wait to use it.
Your excitement is certainly warranted... a hand frother is a simple kitchen tool that will allow you to create (new types of drinks- not just coffee btw), to experience (new tastes and flavors- even if you're using the same old coffee), and to get a little extra joy out of every cup! Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I appreciate it. Enjoy & Happy frothing!
I haven't used mine yet...now I know how! Thanks so much!
And I thank you for watching and commenting! If after you try your new hand frother you have any questions, write back. Also, there are some additional videos I made on this channel that demonstrate the Aerolatte being used in a clear glass and filmed from different angles. They can be useful in terms of seeing technique. Plus you realize just how many different things you can froth- like fruit juices, hot chocolate, and alcoholic drinks. Enjoy!
I picked up a frother, and use it to froth the butter in my black coffee (bulletproof coffee). The nice part is I can't tell that I'm drinking butter, and makes the black coffee more enjoyable without the aftertaste I used to get from cream. Thanks for the demonstration.
I have to say... my first thought was "butter"??? But then I quickly realized, it all comes from the same liquid dairy base, so I can see how it works. I do have lots of questions though :-) I assume the butter you use in your coffee is salt free? Do you melt the butter in the microwave first? How much butter do you have to melt to get enough cream for your coffee...a stick, half a stick? Finally, could you explain or go into more detail about the "aftertaste" you get from cream? Have you tried different brands? Are you using heavy cream or half n half? Half and half is great for frothing and lower in fat. Anyway, very glad to hear the video helped. Thank you for taking the time to report back. P.S. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE as we plan to use a few surprise ingredients of our own (for frothing) in future videos!
I do the same, I went low carb, no sugar, 1 spoon of salted butter (room temperature) and a splash of heavy cream in my coffee every morning, so creamy and delicious.
Very nice that you do that for your wife! Now I need to show my husband, so he can make my coffee! lol.
Ha! Yes, it was a definitely a good way to score some points until the novelty wore off. When performed instead only on occasion, the praise for my closeness to a "real one" from the coffee shop seemed to be much more regular :-) Just send him/share the link and let the video do the teaching. It's less subtle in terms of your bigger plan, and if he's like the rest of us men, he'll be excited to show off his new frothing skills :-) Enjoy and thank you!
This saved me from buying an expensive steamer/frother. Thank you.
That's great! That's 2/3 main goals of this channel- saving others time, money, and frustration. All three can come in different forms so there are a few ways to help. Enjoy your new milk frother when you get it, and know that I appreciate you taking the time to leave the positive feedback.
Just got one and it's on the way
Can't wait to use it and make some nice latte for my wife
thank you :)
Nice! I know she'll appreciate it and in it will be very gratifying for you too as you produce better and better froth for the lattes each time. Plus think of all the "brownie points" you'll be accumulating each week ;-) Smart man!
Thanks for this Video. I love this little gadget! I use it daily. If you use a glass/plastic measuring cup, you won't have to worry about splashing the milk everywhere. (You can also use your cup like this gentieman did). The Aerolatte also has its power switch on the side and it stays on until you switch it off. On other hand-held frothers, you may have to hold down the power button with your finger while simultaneously frothing the milk. I found that a little difficult to do. The Aerolatte's battery life is awesome and the batteries come with the machine when you buy it. Save yourself some money on those expensive electric milk frothers. This one is fantastic! You control the amount of foam and temperature of the milk. I have given this as gifts as well.. Give it a try!
Excellent highlights of the Aerolatte hand frother and may I add, concisely and eloquently written! I know YOU "got froth!" Enjoy!
I have the same frother, I've clearly used it incorrectly since I bought it lol, UNTIL, your video. I just tried your method and WaLa... perfect froth! 👌Thank you! Very helpful video. BTW, Love my Aerolatte frother tool, It's very durable and now, perfect froth.
Sincerely appreciate the positive feedback and very happy to hear you're now enjoying great froth from your Aerolatte! Thank you
I love this video-I purchad this product from Amazon $12.and I was doing it ALLLLLLL WRONNNNGG I had milk everywhere :) Thanks so much for this demonstration!!
And I love the energy you are bringing to this channel!! Thank you for the positive feedback! I love to hear these kind of stories. I hope you'll take a look at some of the other hand frothing videos I've done. In subsequent videos I use a clear glass to demonstrate, and film from different angles so that you can see my techniques even better. Now that you've mastered frothing milk, check out my videos on frothing fruit juices, frothed hot chocolate, frothed alcoholic beverages, etc. There are so many things you can do with your new handheld frother. Enjoy it and Happy Frothing!
I love my froth!!!! This makes me happy!
In a chaotic world, it's often the simple things in life that bring a smile to our faces. A cup of coffee topped off with the perfect white froth is one of those things. Enjoy it!
White milk, white cup, white stove. No issues. Love the consistency.
Kidding aside
I got one of these as a gift and wasnt sure how to use it. Thanks for the video!
Ha! It's a gift that keeps on giving... I hope your new frother brings you joy each and every morning :-) Thank you for the + feedback!
I was skeptical but was very impressed when I tried it! Great device!
Indeed the Aerolatte and other hand-frothers provide gratification (as far as "creating" froth) and the froth itself provides a bit of extra pleasure in your lattes, cappuccinos, teas, and a variety of other great drinks you can create. Enjoy and thanks for the feedback!
Excellent demo, very easy to follow...thank you! 👌☕🍶
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. If you have any questions after giving your frother a go, please let me know. Enjoy!
I picked up one at IKEA oddly enough and didn't know what to do with it until this video - thank you!! Game changer for me - you mean I don't HAVE to spend $6 for a small latte and the 'coffee-rage' from a guaranteed screwed up order!!
That's awesome! The goal of this channel is to save others time, money, and frustration. You hit the trifecta! It's a huge savings on a yearly basis btw. Thank you for the comment and Happy Frothing!
Thank you. I had one of these, but watching the technique for using this thing really helps
Excellent! I'm glad it was helpful and I thank you for the positive feedback. Now you'll really enjoy your frother!
I just received my new frother the other day, straight away oured a coffee as normal - hot water with a bit of cold milk at the top, stir - then turned the frother on and lowered it into the full cup: boom, that coffee was all over the bench, splattered all over the wall, stove top and electric jug (uh-oh, wet electronics!) 🤦♀️
Had a better result the next time I tried, but then had another wee incident - now I'm here! Armed with this knowledge I will (hopefully) finally be unbeatable!
I know the cleanup involved after a splatter so I feel for you. It's happened to everyone at some point. As you've now discovered, don't turn the hand frother on until it's immersed in the milk (or juice)! And... don't take it up too high when making your vertical moves and of course, shut it off before lifting the frother above the froth line. Enjoy your new frother with your new found knowledge and experience!!
Thanks so much for this excellent demonstration. I greatly appreciate it!☕️
Thank you! I received something like this as a gift, but I had no idea how to use it. Now I do!
As I've said before, the Aerolatte and really any hand frother, is the gift that keeps on giving all year long. So give an extra thanks to the person who you received it from. It's an intelligent gift to give because you will likely think of that person often. Happy Frothing and thank you for the positive feedback on the video!
Okay I was doing too low. Thanks for the demo
Once you get the hang of it you'll really start to appreciate your hand frother. I have some other videos on this channel where I use the Aerolatte in a clear cup and film from different angles. You may find them additionally helpful in terms of technique. Thank you for the comment and Happy Frothing!
Sounds like Ray Romano made this video.
Nah, he doesn't go around making free videos to help others ;-)
@@efficientway whatever you say ray... Everybody loves Raymond
Ray Romano is very passionate about his froth
That's exactly what I was going to say, then I saw you had already said it! Indeed he does sound like Ray Romano.
I would say the reason why your milk frothed with a steamer didn’t stay frothy for that long is because from what I know you aren’t a barista and frothing milk without leaving any bubbles also you don’t want bubbles because it means it’s not holding air which means it deflates quicker.
Frothing milk for lattes and cappuccinos can certainly be tricky. To be clear, I didn't say that the froth from the machine didn't stay frothy for a long time. I just said that when using an Aerolatte I can get froth that stays up longer than the milk froth made with the steamer from an espresso machine. It's a relativity thing. I didn't mention anything about bubbles. I do appreciate your thoughts though so thank you for the comment.
Thank you I had this in my drawer I was using it to blend and not froth 😭 This was the missing piece to my match green tea lattes 💚🍵
That's awesome...I'm glad you "re-discovered" your Aerolatte! Using a hand frother to make green tea lattes is way more popular than I thought. A hand frother seems to be equally as useful to tea drinkers as it is coffee drinkers. Who would have thought...coffee drinkers and tea lovers coming together and uniting over froth! I love it. Happy Frothing everyone!! And thank you Naomii for the comment and the positive feedback. Enjoy!
Mine run out of battery so I am using the cappuccino machine, but it's satisfying to watch it again.
Ha! Yes, it's probably nice not to have to pre-heat the milk prior to frothing, but at the same time, you probably have a renewed appreciation for the ease of clean up with the Aerolatte hand frother? :-)
@@efficientway That's right, but I enjoy making coffee at home, it's a pleasure and neither cleaning or heating bothers me. 🙂💕
Great little tool, add some brown sugar to my coffee and it is yummy!
I use "raw sugar" - the big brown crystals and yes, it sure is yummy. The Aerolatte milk frother, or perhaps all hand held milk frothers are underrated. A little tool like that can create temporary happiness :-)
Just bought one and needed to know what to do with it. Thank you so much.
I get excited for people who just discovered (or in many cases "re-discovered" after learning how to properly use one) hand frothers. You can use a hand frother to froth milk, juices, liquors, hot chocolate, etc. - I have videos on all of the above. But I get especially excited thinking about how much joy others will get from frothing milk (dairy or otherwise) for their morning coffee. So many people look forward to their first morning cup of joe, and knowing that this little kitchen device will enhance that experience each and every day is just awesome. No matter what, or when, you end up doing your frothing, I know you will enjoy it. Thank you for the positive feedback... I do appreciate it.
A tip I learned is to tilt the cup at an angle and to actually stay right beneath the surface of the milk to avoid bringing bubbles into it. Slight up and down motion right beneath the surface, and voila fluffy creamy foam!
I'm not sure if you meant from this video, but yes as far as frothing milk with a hand frother for lattes, cappuccinos, or any other drink, those are some helpful tips. Part of the frothing technique does require a bit of action at the bottom of the cup, but as you say, the frothing wand should not stay there the entire time. Thank you for the comment and Happy Frothing!
I bought one identical from kmart without the logo for $2 great quality.. I heat milk in glass jug. Heat. Pout in metal jug.
It whips better in metal jug. I use about 200mls for both of us.
Make our coffee with instant and sugar pour 1/3 boiling water in our cup disolve sugar and coffee
I put mine 1cm under the milk hold on angle to get mine nice and velvety then pour. And is almost like a flatwhite /latte. Sometimes i give my wife extra foam and make hers a capachino.
If im making milo(a type of hotchocolate)
I put the milo in the milk before i froth it.
Either way. I bought it a week ago and my wife makes me make her a frothy coffee or milo every single time
Sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe and the details of how you use your frother. Please keep us posted on how your new frother holds up. Enjoy!
Thank you! Now it’s not just for “treat” time.
Indeed, you can enjoy your favorite coffee drinks any time, by frothing milk with your milk frother, quickly and easily. It' a huge cost savings too! Enjoy and thank you for the comment.
I was using too much milk!! Thank you!!
Ahh... glad it helped and you can enjoy from here on in! Thank you for the + feedback. Happy frothing!
Cheers Pal for instructions, because it looks so simply, but I had that item for some time already and always went to the bottom of the Cup and then stir, which was wrong. Now I will try do it in your way which is holding that little end of mixer on top of milk. Take care.
You're most welcome. Thank you for the feedback. Btw, there are two more videos on this channel (if you haven't seen them yet) that demonstrate the frothing techniques if you want to get some more granular/detailed angled views. A bit of practice and you will be enjoying a whole new set of froth filled, foamy drinks! Enjoy!
got one for $10 at dollar general! just used it, awesome lil tool
It's amazing how much joy and satisfaction a little hand frother can bring right? "But wait, that's not all!" Besides frothing milk, you can use your new tool to froth fruit juices, hot chocolate, alcoholic drinks, etc. I have other videos on this channel demonstrating all of the above. Bonus: I froth everything in a clear glass and from different angles, so you can see my hand frothing technique a bit more clearly. Happy Frothing!
Just bought one yesterday and haven’t stopped using it….. anything i can froth I’ll do it 🤣🤣🤣 any recipes on how to do sweet foam with one
Glad to hear you're loving your hand frother! I'm not familiar with sweet foam, but it sounds like it would be the perfect topping on my "Frothed, low-fat, salted caramel hot chocolate" recipe- you'll find the video on this channel. OR... it would probably be great on my "frothed Baileys & Espresso" drink. I did a video on this channel for that one too. Also, I have a video on "frothed grape juice"- super healthy, lowers cholesterol and froths really well. In addition to a video on, yes, "frothed prune juice". Nope, it's not for the elderly LOL! It's sweet, froths up perfectly, and satisfies anyone's sweet tooth (especially children) and it's healthy. You can find all of those videos right here on this channel. If you try any, please share your thoughts. In the meantime, Happy Frothing!!
I love Silk Coconut milk - only the Silk brand actually tastes like coconut. I froth the milk and pour my green tea in it. DELISH! This was a great tutorial - to heat or not to heat the milk seems to be a big question for most frothers! TY P.S. Coconut milk - even unsweetened is wonderful on cereal.
Wow... that sounds exotic! Do you add the frothed milk to any particular type of green tea (I think there are like 7, let alone flavored green teas), or does it not matter? I imagine the sweetened coconut milk would be great to counter the "bitterness " some green teas have. Is adding milk to tea common among any particular Asian countries (I know tea with milk is big with the British)? Either way it sounds like a delicious discovery so thank you for sharing it with us.
@@efficientway My favorite green tea is SALADA - honestly - a lot of stores near me do not carry it, so I buy it on Amazon! Remember the slogan? SALADA? THAT'S A LOTTA TEA!!!
Hey, how do you froth the coconut milk? Mine doesn't froth at all
@@ameliamiklosh9793 I only use SILK brand Coconut milk, unsweetened. You MUST heat it up before frothing.
You can no longer get Salada green tea in stores. Get it here: Salada Harris Tea Company - they have good prices and I buy in bulk so I'll never be without it
Great video, clear instructions, thankyou 👍👍
Happy to hear it helped. Thank you for the positive feedback. Enjoy and Happy Frothing!!
This method worked the absolute best! Thank you ❤
Thank you very much for that kind of feedback and also for taking the time to come back and leave a comment. It's helpful for others as it saves them the time of searching around and trying other methods of frothing milk. Enjoy!
Wow. Now thats how you froth the milk. I was doing it wrong! Thanks for this video
I'm happy to know you'll be enjoying proper forth going forward. Thank you for the positive feedback and taking the time to write! Happy Frothing!
Ohhhhh I put too much milk and that’s why it didn’t work. Now I learned my mistake
Glad to hear! Hope you're now able to enjoy some long lasting, thick froth in your beverage of choice!
@@efficientway thanks for the info!
I’ve recently tried to achieve the best and longest lasting froth. Friend who worked at Starbucks long ago told me to use 2% milk instead of heavy, half n half, etc
It really does work! But I’m still off my super coffee game, came here for the quest of more knowledge. Happy New Years yall
@@dantheanimator5072 Your friend who worked at Starbucks was putting you right in the middle... not too much, not too little. Here's why: the more fat content i.e. full fat milk or cream (whipping cream, heavy cream), the thicker, the "heavier" the bubbles/froth you will produce. They will be tighter too. If you use something like skim milk for frothing, the bubbles will be larger, less dense, and occupy more space. I like to think of froth created by the higher fat content milk products as better for lattes while the 2% or half n half or even skim froth created as being better for cappuccinos. I mean taste wise, it's hard to argue with more fat content, but that comes at a cost to your health. So a good compromise is the 2% milk and the froth it creates, that your friend at Starbucks suggested. It's "middle of the road" LOL! Do you use a traditional espresso machine (vs. Nespresso, etc.)? If so, dialing in your espresso machine (especially if you like to try new coffee blends/types) is a whole art unto itself. Just have fun experimenting along the quest for that perfect cup!
@@efficientway very interesting! Thanks
After losing both my Tassimo and Kuerig machines this year, I’m using a decent Mr Coffee machine and just sad with it
So gf got me a good mixer wand like in your video, I’m a artist so I have a cup or two twice a day....and with 2020 being how it’s been we’ve barely been in a Starbucks etc
So just trying!! Over holidays I tried that new Landmark Half n Half with 30% extra cream, reg half n half, 2% and whole milk. Gotta say 2% and new Landmark one were the best. Yet to try heavy cream
I have been microwaving the milk for 30 seconds, and my mixer wands said “do it at 45 degree angle and 90 degree”
looks yummy..... but I am not a Coffee person but I want to make some froth for my vegan lemon sorbet recipe, So I will try this with cold coconut milk and see how it comes out...
It's generally easier to froth up hot milk (including coconut milk), but give it a try cold first. Coconut milk has a decent amount of fat in it so it should froth up really well. Outside of milk, you can also froth fruit juices, hot chocolate, and alcoholic drinks. I have videos on each that you can view on this channel. Thank you for the comment and enjoy that sorbet. Sounds delicious. Btw... given the vegan interest, I have videos on frothing almond milk and oat milk too! Enjoy
@@efficientway Thank you!
I just got a rechargable milk frother on Amazon for $9.99, came here to see how to use it!
This was very helpful, I froth almond milk, but will try your technique, as mine remains flat at the bottom
You'll actually find a whole video dedicated to frothing almond milk on this channel. I'm not a big fan of the taste, but the almond milk frothed up incredibly well! Thank you for the positive feedback. Here is the link to the video in case you missed it: czcams.com/video/KKvz5LtUvq4/video.html
Enjoy!
This was most helpful. Thank you for this great tutorial and for making this video.
I sincerely appreciate the positive feedback. I'm very happy to hear it helped and you're on you're on your way to enjoying perfect milk froth for you lattes and cappuccinos. If you haven't already seen them, there are a few other vids I made that demonstrate (with a bit less tutorial) the frothing techniques. At the suggestion of a viewer, I used clear, glass cups and filmed from different angles, so those too may be helpful. Thanks again and happy frothing!
My milk instantly deflated, is there anything I can do to prevent?
Haha, never mind. I figured out that cold milk deflated and hot milk froths really well. I over frothed it! It’s at stiff peaks 😂
Oh, nice! Yes- I was going to suggest two things to combat IDF "Instant Deflating Froth" and you hit on the first- "try warming your milk more". The second was about technique, but I'll spare you the details as you seemed to have nailed it on your own. Well done.. enjoy!
I was wondering what I was doing wrong! I'll try warming my milk. Thanks!
Thanks for making this video. I received a free milk frother with a coffee canister I bought. I'm going to try it out this morning.
That's awesome. What a great gift from the coffee company! It's the gift that keeps on giving, but it's smart on their part as it's something you'll use regularly and hopefully think of them each time you do. Enjoy, and if you have any questions after trying it, come on back and ask away or check out some of my other frothing videos where I use a clear glass. You'll also see that you can use your new hand frother with fruit juices and hot chocolate! Don't worry we won't tell the coffee company ;-)
This is amazing, just bought one of these from IKEA
Enjoy your new frother!
You should have an Amazon affiliate link in the description so you can make some $ from everyone buying after watching this
Ha! Well the real reasons for making the videos are to save people Time, Money, and Frustration. That's the common theme throughout- either letting people learn from my mistakes (so they don't buy the wrong products, have to return them, lose money on them, etc), sharing the hours and hours of research that I've already done (so that they don't have to do it themselves) and giving others solutions/techniques that have been proven successful. Some people claim that CZcams can suspend accounts for placing links in descriptions. I'm happy if people will just give it a thumbs up or better yet, "SUBSCRIBE"! So if you're reading this, and you found the video helpful, please go ahead and hit that button :-) Many Thanks!
@@efficientway No dude. The customer isn't paying anymore for that. Look at Scotty Kilmer for example, his description states he is an Amazon affiliate like he is supposed to so it is perfectly okay. You are just leaving money on the table right now, the money comes from Amazon not the customer. But anyways, nice video!
I JUST bought the aerolatte frother 2 days ago!!!! I’m trying to find uses for it other than just foaming milk and coffee though.
Edit: I actually don’t drink coffee believe it or not😅
- which is why I’m looking for other uses. It just seems fun.
Beyond coffee drinks, I think the Aerolatte is great for mixed drinks- alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Sure, it's not a necessity, but you could save the hassle and time of cleaning up an extra cup or "cocktail shaker". I think the Aerolatte would make a mean Margarita (with ice, not frozen). When you shake a margarita in a cocktail mixer you naturally get some kind of "frothy" white stuff on top when you pour it into a cup, and people love to slurp that part down first. So an Aerolatte should be perfect. Navigating the ice cubes might be tricky, but if you're just having some fun, try mixing the ingredients (not just a margarita mix) get some froth, then add ice cubes and perhaps then use a cocktail mixer to get it super cold and super frothy. Some fruit juices should work well too. And the thicker the better. Don't laugh, but prune juice is very sweet and normally thicker than most juices. I stuck the aerolatte in there and whipped it up creating a light, foamy delicious treat! It's hard to describe. Perhaps I'll do a video on it?? Please come back and let us know the creative ways you end up using your Aerolatte! Enjoy and have fun!
EfficientWay Ooooh I extremely new to bar drinks, as I turned 19 just over a month ago (legal drinking age in Canada) and haven’t been to a bar or club yet. I’m actually quite curious about alcoholic drinks and have one friend who was practicing bartending (also roughly the same age), so maybe I’ll ask him and see what he knows about foam in those types of beverages.
Honestly I figured thicker liquids would work better. Example, cream would work better than milk, right?
I think experimental videos from you would be awesome!
I’ll definitely try a few things out and let you know the results!
Thank you for your advice!
I think you'll have some fun and get some enjoyment out of your new Aerolatte either way. Remember to drink responsibly :-)
EfficientWay I most certainly will be responsible! Funny thing is, jut after replying to you yesterday I asked my mom if she knew any other uses for it. She suggested I take a bartending course, even if I wasn’t going to get a job as one. I’m actually considering taking a course now...😅 I suppose the knowledge would be useful in some situations.
Again, thank you so much for the help!
Definitely might get this to make an at home matcha latte
Don't think twice. The Aerolatte is a small investment relative to the amount you will save from frothing your own matcha lattes (vs. buying outside the house) and the joy you will get from having them whenever you want, as often as you want, and making them exactly how you like them. Plus, you're creating something when you make your own froth by hand. That feels good too!
@@efficientway thanks! 🙏🏾
Thanks for this video, I have one and sometimes it froths good and sometimes it doesn't, I have to learn the technique
You are most welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful. In addition to picking up some additional tips on frothing from some of the other replies in this comment section, you may also want to watch some of the other frothing videos on this channel. Although they don't describe the various frothing techniques in detail, they do show the frother in action from different angles and in addition, I use clear mugs/glasses for a better view. Thank you for reaching out!
I have this device and clearly I've been using it wrong. I'll be trying this way next time. Thank you.
Awesome! Give it a go and let us know how it turns out. If you have any questions after you try the new frothing technique, come back here and ask away!
I pour the milk froth cup to the espresso cup. Will try your method next time
The benefit of pouring or making the espresso directly in the cup that has milk froth in it already is that you won't break up the froth. I actually think you'll notice quite a difference, especially if you froth the milk as shown and create "strong" and "lasting" froth. Let us know what you think.
Thankyou never learned, but now I know!!
As G.I. Joe used to say, "And knowing is half the battle!" I'm happy to hear you're on your way to enjoying fresh froth (you can use this technique to froth fruit juices, hot chocolate, etc. in addition to milk btw) and I appreciate you leaving the positive comment. Thank you and Enjoy!
The correct way to froth with this is to introduce air into the milk by positioning just above the milk. Once enough air is introduced, submerged the whole thing into the milk, smash and spin them up to create micro bubbles.
One can create many types of froth with an Aerolatte or other hand frother, so I'm a bit hesitant to call any method "the correct way". While the description above sounds like a lot of fun- create big bubbles and then try to "smash and spin them up", it won't create the type of froth everyone is looking for. It does hit on some main concepts though- aerating the milk, positioning, and creating micro-bubbles. So thank you for reiterating those concepts.
Batteries only last 150 uses. It's a good idea to get rechargeable batteries. I add a bit of Carnation Evaporated milk to the carton milk, just to make it creamier.
The battery life will depend upon how much milk, juice, liquor, etc. you are frothing at any given time. It also depends upon the quality of the battery (brand and how it was/is stored), and other factors. But assuming you about in the right neighborhood, someone using their hand frother every day to froth up milk for a latte or cappuccino would get about 5 months out of a set of batteries. That's a great suggestion re: adding evaporated milk to make your milk froth even creamier. Thank you for the comment and the tip!
@@efficientway I like my Bialetti Moka and Brikka pots and the French Press, so an electric frother is perfect for that. Thank you for taking the time to respond. 👍
omg his accent is so charming i love it
Nice tutorial. You could also be a hand model. Very nice hands.
You are too kind! Thank you very much for the positive feedback on the hand frother. Enjoy and Happy Frothing!
Yes I have that machine. But I replaced the batteries with a Li-Ion. The 2 batteries are empty in no-time. With a 3.7V Li-Ion the whisk speed is very high.
You're right, the batteries do discharge relatively quickly compared to other electric devices. It's not clear if that is the case with all hand frothers or just the Aerolatte. You've offered a solid solution as far as using rechargeable batteries. When you use the Aerolatte to froth milk right after putting in a fresh pair of batteries, it definitely spins extremely fast. Any faster might actually counter productive. But if the rechargeable batteries maintain that higher speed for longer periods of time (i.e. more uses), that is certainly a great benefit. Thank you for the tip and Happy Frothing!
This was helpful
I may have not used it for coffee but instead for stuff like milo XD
I first put the powder, next put a little milk, and use the frother
Then after its mixed i add the rest of the milk
I didnt know you had to do an up-and-down practice!
I had to look it up- you mean Milo the Nestle Malted Milk drink? It's good to know the Aerolatte and hand frothers work well for that purpose too. I don't think they work well for for thick powders like protein powders as the blade is too small and perhaps the units not powerful enough. But sure, if you don't use a ton of powder this will make a frothy Nestle Milo malted milk shake if you follow the same milk frothing techniques in the video. Thanks for the Milo introduction and the positive feedback!
Very well explained.
Thank you. I'm glad you found this video helpful. I made a few videos focused on frothing milk, and other things like fruit juices, in future videos where I used a clear glass. You may find those videos helpful as well as you can see the hand frother and technique a bit more clearly. Either way, I appreciate the comment. Happy Frothing!!
Just bought one...thx for the demo. 😊
Enjoy your new Aerolatte! Thank you for the comment and Happy Frothing!
I heard cold milk froths up better and yes you can go down deeper into the milk and go up and down you would have more volume and your frother makes a lot of noise mine is quiet
It is possible that you read that or heard that, but it's likely they were referencing frothing milk with a milk steamer/ steam frother (as opposed to a handheld frother). If you're sure they were referencing hand frothers, the best way to find out is to conduct some A/B tests yourself. Try frothing the same milk after it has come out of the fridge and then try heating up the same milk, in a microwave until it is too hot to touch comfortably, but not hot enough that it starts to boil or form a skin on top. The required time may take some experimenting, but you can simply heat it up in increments. Here's what you should be noting: how long it takes to create the froth you desire (it will vary by personal preference and type of drink you are making), what type of foam and bubbles you create, and most importantly, how long your froth "stays" up. You will likely note that the cold milk froth deflates much quicker than the hot milk.
Cold milk is heavier and sinks to the bottom, not to mention being heavier also makes it harder to whip up.
Yup, that's why the heat process is key for making foam/froth. But too much is bad too.
Thanks pal, simple and direct.
Thank YOU! Appreciate the positivity... Happy Frothing!
That was tutorial was awesome. 👏👏👏👏 && the froth looked great.
Thank you for the positive feedback, it's always appreciated. Hopefully you're now able to enjoy some of your own great looking and tasting froth. Enjoy!
You can use a bullet blender or any other blender if you have one; much easier and far more frothy. I use full cream milk and put it in a mug in the microwave then transfer it into the blender and froth for a couple of seconds; stays foamy forever.
Sounds like a decent alternative, but taking into account the cost of the blender, the clean-up time involved with the blender- i.e. the cap to the blender, the blender itself (inside and out) vs the 4 second rinse of the tip of the Aerolatte, the disturbing noise from a blender, the counter space taken up by the blender, and the lack of portability, the Aerolatte is tough to beat. More importantly, with normal blenders, you'd need a lot of milk/cream (more than the average person puts in their coffee) in order to cover the blades/allow the blender to work. I would imagine you get some great froth though!
Many people already have blenders; mine just sits there and is always being used, I cook a lot. If you don't cook you probably won't have need of one but you probably still have one. Many people today have very fancy kitchens and watch all these cooking shows but don't cook.
Anyway as for cleaning, it takes seconds; put some water in it and switch on for a second and pour it out and it’s washed, there is no mess outside.
The big advantage of the blender is when you are making lattes for two or four+ people; you can heat and froth all the milk in one go and it literally takes seconds.
Lattes & cappuccinos; the difference in Italy is that a cappuccino is in a small cup, smaller than a tea cup, whereas lattes and macchiato's are larger and in tall thin mugs. The blender is ideal for lattes and macchiato's, the Aerolatte is good for an individual cappuccino.
Coffee and milk have been part of European cuisine since the 17th century. Caffè latte, Milchkaffee, café au lait and café con leche are domestic terms of traditional ways of drinking coffee, usually as part of breakfast in the home. These various coffee drinks are all technology driven now.
I also use my Aerolatte frother for making very creamy hot chocolate !!!
That is great timing! I literally just filmed a video on how to make low-fat, triple layered, salted caramel, FROTHED hot cocoa last night! It just needs to be edited. I have to call it hot cocoa vs. hot chocolate so the purists out there don't come after me (I use powdered cocoa vs. melted chocolate so it's technically hot cocoa) LoL!. Please be sure to check back soon/subscribe so we can compare notes! Happy frothing!
Fyi... the how to on a "Frothed, triple layer, low-fat, salted caramel hot cocoa" video is now live. Thanks!
Exactly the video I was looking for thanks for this
That's awesome! I'm glad you found it and appreciate you dropping a line. Happy frothing!!
COFFEE YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM,I CAN NOT HAVE A GOOD DAY WITH OUT MY FROTHY COFFEE! I JUST CAN'T LOL
We know that feeling!
Thanks for doing this video. I wld have definitely mixed it wrong. ☺️
I'm glad you're on your way to enjoying fresh froth for your lattes, cappuccinos, and lots of other drinks you can make with your new hand-frother. I have other videos where I demonstrate the Aerolatte using a clear glass (so you can see the frothing technique a bit better) btw. Thank you for leaving the positive feedback. Happy Frothing!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! 😍
Enjoy the froth my friend! Thank you for the + feedback.
Great video. Just needed whipped creme also. IMO
Ha! Have I got a hand frothing video for you.... how about Low Fat, Salted Caramel, Frothed Hot Chocolate??? You can add all the whipped cream you'd like and it will make it taste even better! Here's the link to the video: czcams.com/video/0pQXl9xPLLE/video.html
If that doesn't do it for you, I also have a frothed Baileys and Coffee video on this channel. Throw some whipped cream on there... Yum! Yum! Thank you for the positive feedback and comment btw. Enjoy!
Great tutorial - I've ordered the wand and can't wait to give it a go. Milk into coffee or coffee into milk?
Sorry for the late reply. It's generally easier and more efficient to either pour the coffee directly into the newly created milk froth or place the cup with the newly created froth under your espresso machine if you are using one. Doing it this way saves the integrity of the froth/foam. Otherwise you risk it collapsing and/or destroying the froth. Additionally, you save on cups and dishwashing this way. By now you will have probably received your new frothing wand. I hope you are enjoying it. Thank you for the positive feedback. Happy Frothing!
I just got my froth wand but a different brand and this was very helpful! 🙂
I'm happy you found this hand frothing tutorial helpful and I do appreciate the positive feedback. There are subtle, but notable differences between the Aerolatte hand frother and other brands (like the design of the blade and the "on/off" switch vs. having to hold down a button to operate the device when frothing milk or any other liquids- I have videos on frothing juices, liquors, etc.). So I think you will be happy with your choice. Enjoy and thanks again!
@@efficientway thank you for the information, I appreciate it👍.
I move mine up and down well INTO cold milk and it takes seconds, maybe 5 or 7 even with skimmed! And it's so thick it takes a while to pour out. A lot thicker than you showed.
Normally I'd just congratulate you, but I fear those new to frothing milk with a hand-held frother will read your comment and have mismanaged expectations. Let's say you froth cold skim milk in what feels like 5-7 seconds (frothing cold milk is not an issue...doing it in 5 seconds? The goal is to add air into the milk and then break the air down into smaller and smaller bubbles until it creates a velvety texture of foam. It takes time to create quality foam) Anyway, with cold milk how long will that froth and foam "stay up" or last? Science/physics say it will not last long and certainly hot milk that has been frothed will last and stay up longer. Why is that? Because milk foam gets more stable as the milk temperature is increased. This is because higher temperatures increase denaturation in the whey proteins.
@@efficientway Let's just agree to disagree, I timed it the last time and it was 8 seconds till it was stiff, I made the coffee, then edited a photograph in photoshop which took 15 mins and it was still thick on top of the coffee. when I went to take a sip.
@@richardbradley2641 As long as you are enjoying your coffee each day, that's what counts. It doesn't matter how thick froth is, how creamy, how long your foam stays up, etc. It's all personal preference. There's no right or wrong. Enjoy & Happy Frothing!
@@efficientway turns out semi skimmed doesn't work too well, but I used milk called B.O.B its skimmed that's made to taste like semi skimmed and it's this milk that seems to make it thick and creamy. Maybe the way it's treated? It would be interesting to find out.
@@richardbradley2641 I hadn't heard of B.O.B milk so I looked it up. It's a milk product from the United Kingdom and I think you're right. It's likely the added proteins they are mixing in that allows it to "thicken" up or froth up so well. Below is taken from their website. Btw.. it isn't exactly fat-free if you look at the nutritional content.
Why does it taste like semi-skimmed milk?
Once the skimming process has taken place, we add the natural milk protein back into Arla B.O.B to give it its great flavour without the added fat.
What is the protein that’s added to Arla B.O.B?
The added protein is a naturally occurring protein found in cows milk. During the milk production process, the fat and protein are separated from the milk to be added in again to form whole, semi-skimmed and skimmed projects. For Arla B.O.B we just add the protein back in and not the fat so you still get that great taste but in a fat free milk.
Great video and demonstration.
Very glad it was helpful. Thank you for the + feedback and happy frothing! P.S. Another hand frothing demo video will be out shortly, so please check back soon.
My husband and I just tried our first, and it seemed like milk went everywhere! We couldn’t get it to work, but will try again on another day.
Not to worry... the splattered milk was either a result of turning the hand frother or Aerolatte on before you placed it into the milk or you simply pulled the Aerolatte hand frother out of the milk before shutting it off. Both are simple fixes. As far as not creating froth (which is what I assume you mean when you say you "couldn't get it to work") the first thing to "troubleshoot" is the temperature of the milk. It needs to be heated. The milk should be hot enough so that it is uncomfortable to touch (the milk itself, not the cup), yet cool enough so that it does not start to bubble and no "skin" forms on top. A microwave is the easiest way to experiment with the required time. After that, it's about technique. I'd urge you to either watch this video again and/or watch some of my many other milk frothing videos where I use a clear, glass cup. You can see the angles and the techniques a bit better. If you still have trouble after watching and giving it a few tries on your own, write back to me and I will help you. Keep at it because it's worth it. You'll enjoy your lattes, cappuccinos, and other drinks (I have videos on frothing hot chocolate, fruit juices, alcoholic drinks, etc.) There are lots of drinks you can make with an Aerolatte (or any other hand frother).
@@efficientway Thank you for such a quick response. We tried again, and this time my husband slowed the speed down. It worked! I think we (meaning *he*) 😉 needs more practice. I’ll share this with him.
Awesome... I'm glad to hear it. It is a bit of a skill so practice will make perfect. Happy Frothing!
amazing tutorial! thank you 😃
So glad you found it helpful. Thank you for the positive feedback! I hope you will subscribe to the channel to receive alerts on more, upcoming helpful videos like this one. Enjoy!
Ur tutorials really helped me......thnx brooo❤❤
Very glad to hear that. Thank you for the positive feedback. If you have any questions after trying/experimenting, always happy to help. Enjoy!
I just bought a chemex. About to go to target and pick one of these up right now. You’re a blessing.
Nice!! Thank you for the kind words. Enjoy your new Aerolatte milk frother and please come back to share the froth experience once you've experimented with all the lattes, cappuccinos, and fruit juices!
