Master the art of barista-quality coffee with this affordable gadget
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In recent years, making a cup of coffee at home has stepped up several notches, with instant granules shunned in favour of barista-worthy beverages.
But, we hear the coffee-lovers among you cry, what is a “proper” cup of Joe without a textured dollop of frothy milk?
While espresso machines and bean-to-cup appliances do their part when it comes to delivering a rich and smooth brew, perfectly frothed milk is a tricky art to master and, until recently, has been the preserve of cafes.
Luckily, you can now get your hands on high-tech gadgets that do all the hard work for you but these coveted products come at a cost. Retailing at £79, Nespresso’s aeroccino 3 (Nespresso.com) is quite an investment, which led (of course) to budget supermarket and home of the Specialbuy Aldi launching its own, more affordable version last year.
Costing just £19.99, it, naturally, sold out. The frother can create steamed milk or fancy aerated foam for a cappuccino at the touch of a button. Now, courtsey of Aldi’s famous Specialbuy section, the gagdet is back in stock and available to pre-order from this Sunday (15 January). But be sure to act fast, as we predict they’re going to be a sellout.
Ambiano milk heater/frother: £19.99, Aldi.co.uk – available 15 January
Calling all caffeine lovers – Aldi is about to make all your foam-covered coffee dreams come true with the return of its very own milk frother.
Available in two shades – black and grey – the kitchen gadget promises to add the finishing touch to your favourite hot drink. It enables you to heat up milk or use the froth function to whip up a thick and creamy foam that will help you master the art of coffee-making.
Ideal for creating lattes, flat whites, cappuccinos and even hot chocolates, the device heats up milk to 70C and even features an anti-leakage system and automatic switch-off, making it super easy to use.
Cleaning is just as simple too, as it comes with a non-stick coating, which means you simply need to rinse the inside of the main unit and give it a quick wipe with a cloth.
Retailing at just £19.99, the Aldi frother will save you £59, compared with the popular, and much pricier, Nespresso version, so we think it’s well worth snapping up.
