Reddit mentions of Aerolatte Milk Foamer, The Original Steam-Free Frother, 8.5-Inch, Satin Finish

I got one of these Aerolatte mixers and it really comes in handy for my morning BPC coffee. I don't have to fiddle with a blender and it does a good job of giving me foam as well as mixing the fats.

Just get this if you enjoy a no-fuss frothy milk/cream experience. Cheap and worth every penny. I've used it almost daily ever since getting it as a gift 5 years ago. It eats AA batteries, but that's what a Costco 40 pack is for. You can use it to mix up marinades and vinaigrettes as well.

Definitely - almost as much as normal brewed tea. You don't need an official whisk if you're not doing the ceremony: I use an electric Aerolatte frother - buzz it for 10 seconds and you're done.

You can have it cold too: mix the powder with first with just a small amount of cold water - enough to form a wet paste - and then pour in the rest of the cold water and stir/shake to combine. Instant iced green tea.

Depending on how much you go through (to make shipping worth it): Ippodo Tea has good prices of many different grades. Their bottom tier is a bit astringent, but the second-to-bottom is quite nice and affordable. That's what I normally drink.

Don't get me started on Teavana. ಠ_ಠ

Would one of those milk frother things work? like this there are really cheap ones out there I was just too lazy to look. Like $5 cheap....

I have a Kuerig, I place the butter, mct, and some truvia in my cup and hit brew.

After, I use this item http://www.amazon.com/Aerolatte-Original-Electric-Frother-Satin/dp/B0002KZUNK to blend in the cup, quick and easy and QUIET.

for people on the go, or who don't have blenders at their workplace.

There are a couple of other options for getting some froth.

You could spend a lot less (about 10 dollars or less) and get a handheld frother like this. I've got one, and it does the job. I mean, it is not as good as well made froth, obviously, but it's super cheap and easy and works.


Another thing you can do is a tip I saw on /r/coffee I think and that is put milk (warm, preferably) in a french press then pump the french press. This is a hassle in terms of cleaning up but is a great alternative. I did it the other day and it made some pretty great froth, I was surprised. Again, it's not going to be the best froth and foam ever, but it was a surprisingly good fix!

Not if you mix it with this:

I do exactly what you do, but when i put it in my blender bottle for the day I use this (before putting in the blender ball)

which helps immensely. I also found that adding a scoop of whey protein to the pitcher smooths it out and gives it a little teeny bit of sweetness and flavor, which I like. I also drink it with a straw, you can put it in the back of your throat and just drink it straight down instead of coating the inside of your mouth with grit

A moka pot and a milk frother can fit the bill. It's not an automated machine, but if you can boil water on the stove, you have all the skills you really need.

I have something like this and this. They total about $50.

I use one of those small battery powered milk frothers, works great..

Try an aerolatte frother. I put the mct, butter, half and half and sweetener in my tall mug, heat it for long enough to melt the butter, then froth with the aerolatte frother. Then I brew my coffee into the mug. No muss no fuss.

It's actually not a mixer, it's a milk frother, but it works.

Milk Frother

It won't be perfect, but at 100 bucks that's the best you are going to do. If you are looking for a machine, expect to spend ~250 bucks to get good shots, more than that if you want to do it easily.

I'm waiting with baited breath to see if http://zpmespresso.myshopify.com/ is going to change the whole home espresso game, but for now I'm rocking the Moka Pot and it honestly works pretty well for me.

I picked up an Aerolatte Milk Frother several moons ago, and it does a great job. Put some milk in a glass, nuke it for a minute, then whip it -- whip it good. It creates a very smooth froth that's great on coffee and tea. Use heavy creamer instead of milk, and you've got a great pie topper.

I think it's this one:

Name: "Self Stirring Coffee Mug"

$10

I've had these before, they're good for simple liquids like milk or coffee, but bad with anything thicker as the stirring mechanism is very small and the motor is relatively weak.

For really good stirring I use this now:
https://www.amazon.com/aerolatte-Original-HandHeld-Frother-Satin/dp/B0002KZUNK

$20 and it's damn powerful. I use it every day and it's lasted two years now.

So, I was reading this thread and I had a thought (while drinking).

Last night, I whipped up a batch of Nude's Ooples and Boonoonoos in the microwave. 30 mL in a 100 mL flask, nuked for 5 seconds brought it to "not cold." So, I swirled it a bit, then did another 5 seconds and it was "slightly warm" (above body temp, but easily held in my hand).

Then, I took my mixing wand of awesome (one of these with the spring part cut off) and aerated the juice for 10-15 minutes (batteries wore out, unfortunately). Then I let it cool and sit for an hour, swirling occasionally and did a test vape. The perfume taste was almost completely gone, so I bottled it and started vaping.

I don't know whether the heat or the power aeration was more critical, but get one of those aerators. Hell, make one out of a coat hanger.

I'm using this for a while now, it's good, but I'm not sure if it's going to serve you as an egg mixer.

Hands down easiest clean up... I use it every morning... The aero latte.

I had a glass frother but it was too messy and a pain to keep clean. I now use this every day and it seems to work just fine. The biggest reason I like it is it's portable - throw in bag and go.

I guess it’s called a “handheld milk frothed” like this: https://www.amazon.com/Aerolatte-Original-HandHeld-Frother-Satin/dp/B0002KZUNK

Holy shit you're right! Ikea Milk Frother is two fiddy!

I bought the Aerolatte for $20, which looks exactly the same as the Ikea one.

Gotta get an aerolatte - that thing will blend anything into water.

If you like lattes, this milk frother might be a good buy.

It's compact and works well. I loved mine until my cat decided to play with it and knocked it off the counter to it's death.

We make espresso with a stainless stovetop percolator similar to this

Our aerolatte frother recently died, we liked it until we replaced it with this which makes an incredible microfoam

My machine at home fills up 1.5 oz jiggers. I suppose Starbucks uses the 1 oz settings.

You didn't include the volume of syrup.

After steaming, milk expansion is close to double or triple. It's not just aeration. Steam is incorporated with the milk, comprising a substantial amount of its volume.

Aerating is different than steaming. These crappy wands aerate. Steaming milk incorporates steam into the milk.

My math may be off not as much as you say. I suspect it's between our answers.
