Aeroccino - Why won't my Aeroccino froth?

Froth results will vary based on the variety, origin, and freshness of the milk. Please follow these troubleshooting tips:

  • Ensure you are using the whisk with the metal coil to create more froth.
  • Between uses, rinse the Aeroccino with cold, running water.
    • If not fully cooled down, the device will overheat (as indicated by a blinking red light) and will not run for the correct length of time.
  • Experiment with different milks.
    • Different brands and types of milk will produce different qualities of froth.
    • Milk quality fluctuates throughout the year, thus results can vary from season to season and even from carton to carton.
    • We find that UHT (Ultra High Temperature) milk produces very consistent froth.
  • Use fresh, cold milk from a newly opened container (no more than 3 days old).
    • Milk proteins break down rapidly after exposure to light and oxygen, decreasing its ability to froth.
    • The proteins will also settle to the bottom of the container over time. Shake the container to redistribute them before pouring the milk into the Aeroccino.
