Crew Review: Nespresso Aero3

[SamuelJamieArnold]

Can you make a decent flat-white with it?

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@SamuelJamieArnold I don't believe so - Kat

[aradioactivedonut]

Leavenworth?

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@aradioactivedonut It's a town in the mountains near Seattle - Kat

[sh00kac]

this thing absoulutelly, i mean absouletelly SUCKS, awfull foam

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@sh00kac Sorry you had a poor experience with it! - Kat

[dalidowicz]

Yuck too much froth.

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@dalidowicz Uh....that's the point. It's called an 'auto frother' for a reason. - Kat

[MrTplexx]

oh they are pretty new. wondered why i didn't see them anywhere in the Nespresso shop last month

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@MrTplexx I would have thought you would have -- we have had them since last winter. - Kat

[MrTplexx]

@SeattleCoffeeGear I asked in the shop now, and they had it since winter^^ yes. But i didn't see them. Now they have stocked them up in the display window. I got it today and I have to say its fantastic.

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@MrTplexx Cool! :D - Kat

[ooLiceoo]

i wish gail was my grammy! u guys are adorable! is the aero 3 available in europe/germany as well?

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@ooLiceoo Not sure; I would assume so since Nespresso was started in Europe. I bet if you poked around their stores or international sites you could find them. - Kat

[rudiwells]

nice, I might treat myself, I have the very first aeroccino which doesn't do frothy cold milk.

Also, performance of foam is also down to the fatness of your milk, recently my semi-skimmed was giving 1/3 of the foam it used to, turns out the milk company had lowered even further the fat content. I switched to good old full fat, and get the best foaminess.

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@rudiwells Totally -- the milk fat definitely makes a big difference with all frothing and different fat levels perform differently with different machines. It's different! ;) - Kat

[ytwthcr]

How would one go about cleaning the unit? is it dishwasher safe at all or hand wash only - without submersing it in water? your one and only fan in Africa! love your videos!!! Ruben - Maputo, Mozambique

[rudiwells]

@ytwthcr I rinse out with warm water immediately, there's a kind of non stick surface in it, so a hard sponge is even a no-no. There is a connection in the bottom, so you can't put it in the dishwasher.

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@ytwthcr What rudiwells said :) If you want something that you can throw in the dishwasher, check out the Capresso Froth Pro. I told Gail that we have a fan in Mozambique and she was very impressed! :) - Kat

[abcborgess]

Finally.... :/ u cannot have holidays girls, sorry.

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@abcborgess Ha - well we'll try to keep a steady stream going for you :) - Kat

[seasterl]

What's the temperature of the milk after the device is competed with the cycle? It's too bad it doesn't have a little frother fin that is somewhere between the foamy and the non-foamy results.

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@seasterl I agree on the foamy side of things; I will check on the temp and get back to you. - Kat

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@seasterl Temp for both inserts is around ~145F - Kat

[cah027]

Beer and sausage??? Nice burps! Tee Hee!

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@cah027 I am a lady! I don't burp ;) - Kat

[thePowerPlant]

I like the Aerolatte better than the Aeroccino. It can be used for multiple purposes (like whipping small batches of egg whites and cream). And you can use as much or as little milk you want.

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@thePowerPlant Oh cool! We will look into it. - Kat

[DansaMinCancer]

Your shop is heaven for a coffeelover like me :)

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@DansaMinCancer You should come visit! :) - Kat

[DansaMinCancer]

@SeattleCoffeeGear I'll try, I live in sweden.. But I'm planning to go to US soon :)

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@DansaMinCancer Well I hope you can squeeze in a visit with us! :) - Kat

[DansaMinCancer]

@SeattleCoffeeGear Of course I can, I must meet you two  :)

[SeattleCoffeeGear]

@DansaMinCancer Yay! Do let us know (msg me here) when so that we can be sure to be in the store when you're here :) - Kat
