Reddit mentions of Aerolatte 002 Milk Frother To Go with Travel Storage Case, The Original Steam-Free Frother, Black

This post can probably explain it better than I ever could if you want like an actual latte, haha. If you don't have a coffee grinder you can go to a coffee shop and have your beans ground. Make sure you tell them it's for espresso in a French Press, then keep the coffee in the freezer so it doesn't lose its flavor. Definitely get yourself a French press if you drink a lot of coffee, though - best coffee ever!


For my purposes, I just brew strong regular coffee (or pumpkin coffee if I can find a good one, or vanilla. It's really a matter of taste) in my French press. It takes about 5 minutes for it to steep, so while that's happening I use my Aerolatte to froth some heavy whipping cream, just until it's nice and foamy but not whipped. I don't bother heating it because I like my coffee to be a drinkable temperature. As a side note, you can make small amounts of whipped cream with the Aerolatte, too. It's an awesome little device. Then I pour my coffee in, careful to aim close to the side of the cup so as not to disturb the foam too much. Then add my syrup in the same way. Alternately, you could foam your cream in a separate cup and add your syrup straight to your coffee, then top it with the foam.

For Matcha get one of these bad boys. No more whisking. It definitely gets the foam rolling and makes it all disolve.

It's not the traditional method, but it works great. 1 tsp matcha, 8 oz hot (not quite boiling) water in a ceramic cereal bowl. Whip to froth. Pour into cup. Enjoy in less than 5 minutes.

We are the same person!


I also add a little sugarfree pumpkin syrup for the treat day!


I have reduced time by getting an aerolatte. I make coffee in a frenchpress and while it is steeping, I microwave the butter and oil and then just use the little aerolatte to mix and froth it up!

You can get them for around $30 on amazon and they work fine according to this sub. For this cup, I just used a milk frother wand which you can find for like $3 at ikea, but mine was about $20

A really nice milk frother! The Aerolatte, for example, has decent reviews on Amazon. There are also frothers that you can pump by hand, but I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with a specific brand.

What's a good machine? Or do you use the stovetop type? I don't have any trouble foaming the milk with a little whipper like this. It's not steam, but it works fine for household use.

First of I'd reccomend a Bialetti moka pot. Get this model if you are only going to make one cup at a time or this one if you will be making more(up to 3 cups). As for a milk frothing wand, I got good results with the aerolatte. Keep in mind that you will only ever get ok coffee with this kind of set up, but obviously a lot better than instant!

You can always get one of these battery-operated things: Aerolatte at Amazon.

Quiet, portable, does the job pretty quick.

I use an aerolatte to blend my coffee at work (it's a handheld frother) but at home I use an immersion blender. I also use Now MCT Oil instead of coconut oil since it blends better with the coffee.

It's a thingy like this: http://www.amazon.com/Aerolatte-Go-Milk-Frother-Black/dp/B0001RT2C4/ref=lp_14042381_1_20?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1451564015&sr=1-20

I use it in single serving mugs to break up matcha so it's not clumpy. I think it would work for what you want.

Hey man, I hear you - and check this out. Not only can you blend it right there in the already warm press - but this is great for travel too!

It just depends on what you want to make, how much effort you want to put into it, and how much control you want over the end result.

For me, if I wanted to make a "Double Caramel Latte" (in quotes to acknowledge I'm not making anyone's idea of a "real" latte), I'd use my Moka Pot to make moka coffee (not quite as strong as an espresso, but it'll work). I'd gently heat up cream in a double boiler on the stove and use my frothing wand to get some air bubbles in it -- it won't froth as well as milk, but it's what i like. Add some sugar free caramel monin syrup to the moka coffee when it's done. And top with some whipped cream if I felt like putting in the extra effort (not likely in my case, since I already used cream in the drink).

Forgot to add before sending: But if I had more money, I'd buy one of these. Personally.

I use a milk frother.

Fill cup half way with coffee and butter, use frother to emulsify and melt butter, then add rest of coffee. Works great and makes almost no noise.

Or just grab a standard mug. I like my froth so I get bowls/large mugs to accommodate that.

Tonx is what I use. I'm too lazy to support my local roaster since it's a twenty minute drive away from me and I'm never in that part of town.

An Aerolatte. Cheap, works great.

I use of these guys. It works like a charm and is really quiet. And remember, if you try adding butter, make sure it's unsalted!
