Latte Art with a Nespresso Machine

Upon the request of many, I tried to see whether making Latte Art with a Nespresso machine and steamer works. The result, see for yourself :-)

1. He used the Aeroccino just before shooting the vid. The lid is already wet with milk. (No big deal) 2. Great amount of milk was already ready in the pitcher that's the half the Aeroccino 3 container. With Spring attachment he ran for 55 sec. before the over-flow. 3. Transfer back to the pitcher which has a spout, tap, and swirl and pour over (Just practice) but don't use the milk all the way. Use the silky part of the milk because you will end up with chunks of foams.

Perfect Style! True Master! I´ll give it a try with my Nespresso, thanks a lot for this video!

[@erikarebelde]

Hi mr Alsela! I'm a big fan of you, I studied barism I have a nespresso at home and I had been trying to pull out the best frothing, I loved that you posted a video about it, I realized that you pulled the aeroccino out before it turning off, I had tried to do that but the milk itself isn't hot enough, can you please post a more detailed video🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ferencbakcsi3316]

I used whole milk, fill to first max line, and run it with red button for 55seconds. Perfectly textured milk!

[@kevintong2312]

Ferenc Bakcsi sorry the top line or bottom line?

[@MasterPiece-rg7ed]

@@kevintong2312 he said FIRST max line!

I tried withe the same machine 55 sec but could’t get the milk texture ;(

You make it seem so easy!

[@mikejason3822]

Amazing! This shows skills are more important than tools!

[@TGalego]

Hi Dritan, in terms of frothing milk, that machine from nespresso worth the money compared to a more crafed way like using a french press? This for home made of course! :) thanks.

[@sebastiangaura251]

Dritan do you think that coffe machines like nespresso or dolce gusto are good with coffe extract in capsules ?what is your personal experience??

[@Kalashnikova1991]

I've been looking on the web for so long on a video of latte art with aeroccino. The result you have is amazing. I have couple of questions for you Dritan: -I see that you stopped aeroccino before led light going off. I understand why, this is intentional correct? -Does it make any difference on the milk texture, and so on, if you use the aeroccino with the lid off? -You start pouring the frothed milk in the cup without any real care, until the very end, when it starts "painting" it with white right?, if not, would you care to explain this bit of the process with more detail? Loved your video.

[@duckiedx]

Great questions. Too bad he never followed up.

[@yassermebrouki6361]

Hello Juan, i see you have asked Dritan a couple of questions and i would love to give you a reply: - he stopped the frothing process because if he let it froth too much, it would make too much foam, and it will be impossible to pour any art with it.. - it doesn't matter leaving the lid on or off. - if you noticed, after frothing the milk, he put it in a pitcher and turned a little bit and gave it a few taps.. that is to give the milk a more unit texture and will make it look glossy instead of bubbly.. bubbles are bad for latte. - after doing all that he starts pouring the milk, and honestly, the first part of pouring doesn't require a lot of care because he is basically throwing the milk onto the coffee so that it dives right inside and mixes perfectly.. and he uses a cup tilt for that.. and at the end, he gives it a little more care and starts pouring the milk at a close distance from the cup and that is to be able to gently put the milk to top and draw the nice art.

[@BabyGirl-kc2cp]

4 years no answer i feel bad lmao ..

[@carlmyers5479]

Thanks for posting this. It just goes to show that it's about the technique rather than the machines used. Which whisk are you using in the aeroccino?

[@engincanikli5973]

mit welchem Aufsatz muss die Milch erwärmt werden ? Und welche nespresso Sorte eignet sich am besten für einen Cappuccino ???

[@JohnChiang0523]

If I use the Aeroccino 4 to make the foam, could I make the latte art directly? (Without using the milk pitcher to load the milk foam)

[@yulee1109]

This is what I looked for! Great! It is possible with Nespresso capsule and Aeroccino! Thanks!

Damn, he's good!

Very hard to find this milk texture;;( , I have the machine but couldn’t get the same milk texture …… any advice??

[@marioinvidia5606]

Hi Dritan, can you help me please? Did you used the spring for the Milk or are you working without spring?

[@TecnoDanku]

Well that looks amazing, I have a doubt, did you use the spring attachment for the Aeroccino??

You make it look so easy

[@sunanakasonarong2064]

so good

[@darraghlinehan8295]

Is the milk frothed with the non spiral attachment on the frother?

well done mate! which button for areoccino 4 to get similar texture?

[@TheBrandonChew]

Hi Dritan, great video. May I know whether you used the steaming whisk or the frothing whisk?

[@kagaminerin8463]

He used an aeroccino, its a spring frother. No steam involved.

[@sxmxmx1]

Kagamine Rin there are 2 different attachments that can be used. Brandon is asking which attachment was used. I would also like to know

[@sxmxmx1]

Kagamine Rin are you saying he used the spring attachment? Because one is a spring like attachment... I can’t tell from the video

[@rachellee2915]

How do u get the right temperature with that

[@beckychizary8764]

Hi please can you tell me how much milk do you put in the aeroccino? It looks like it more than the max level for foam?

[@dritanalsela]

Hey Becky, no I actually make sure I don’t insert more than the indicated max level or else with would spill.. rather a bit less 😊

[@beckychizary8764]

Dritan Alsela on mine I have two Max levels is the bottom one or the top one?? Thanks so much for your help!

[@jmaferreras]

You're such a great barista. Are you using 2-3% fat milk? Does it change if you use powdered milk or not really? Thanks!

[@dritanalsela]

Hi Juan, thanks for your question! I prefer using 3.5% fat content. I haven’t tried with powdered milk yet :-) have you?

[@Chisesan89]

not bad!!

[@Cambaudio]

muy bien!

[@manchingfu1142]

May I ask which type of milk or cream you use?

[@dritanalsela]

+Man Ching FU hey there, i use full fresh milk with 3.5% fat content

[@sammers7811]

OMG thank you so much for showing this. Does the amount of milk matter? Also, what kind of the frothing attachment did you use? My foam comes out too fluffy and light. Is pouring out of the jar important?

[@dritanalsela]

Hi there, happy you like it. The amount of milk should be as indicated in the machine. The jar is not that important. It's all a matter of practice!

[@FurqanShafi]

Did you stop frothing process in the middle?

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

Almost impossible, this proves you are a very good barista if you can do latte art with Nespresso machines only

[@tamarm801]

Very nice =) I just have a question regarding the frother... When I use mine, the milk comes out more foamy. How did you get yours to look more creamy? Thank you!!!

[@PetiteKennie]

+Tmm M Hmmm not sure, but it looks like he put too much milk on purpose and stopped the machine before it finished the frothing process so that it doesn't end up too foamy

[@kfunguy]

+Tmm M +Dritan Alsela please share with us how much milk or which frother :(

[@adarwinterdror7245]

same here. the liquid milk and the foam become separated so the liquid goes out first into the coffee, makes it a normal coffee with nothing special about its thickness, and then the foam falls out, which is so separated from the coffee itself that it contributes nothing to the coffee's thickness.

[@erikarebelde]

adar winter you can notice that he pulled out before the frother stops, I think is about trying and getting to know the frother

[@jaroslavburdych4042]

What do you think about taste compare with cappuccino prepared on espresso machine?

[@dritanalsela]

+Jaroslav Burdych in terms of taste, everybody has to decide for themselves ;-)

[@forsnowboard]

Looks like we all have the same problem, using the capuccino whisk and getting super foamy milk or the latte whisk and getting poor texture milk. Can you give ant tip on that? Thank you!!

[@MasterPiece-rg7ed]

Just tested it on my aeroccino 3 and he uses the capuccino whisk and fills it up to the upper max line and not the buttom max line. That way it will still whisk without getting too much froth. My result came out just like his did. Only difference is that im not as good to do latte art lol

[@Mandocammarano505]

This video just shows how great of a barista you are haha. I use an aeroccino plus for "texturing" milk and I have been trying to create latte art with that and even have experimented with the different whisk attachments along with different milk amounts but I just can't make good microform with that machine (it's either too frothy or too liquid) if you could give me any tips on properly texturing milk with this machine I would greatly appreciate it!

[@markoveljanovski881]

Steven Cammarano Some have suggested you fill it up to the first max line and use the whisk for the cappuccino. Froth hot milk. After it is done then hold the button again to froth cold milk. I have not tried this though. I will try it today and see how it works.

[@MasterPiece-rg7ed]

@@markoveljanovski881 this is bullshit. You will just get more foam with big bubbles!

[@nyancat50noip]

I was just wondering what fat percentege you had on the milk.

[@dritanalsela]

Hi there, I prefer using 3.5% 😊

[@chimingcheung6629]

I can make some latte art with the milk from a steamer (like the normal barista will do), but I'm not able to do that with the Nespresso milk frother. The milk foam at the end is too thick and will just drop like a thick clot on my espresso. Any tips? By the way a lot of nice videos on youtube and photo's on IG!

[@dritanalsela]

Hi mate, thanks for your comment! Well, you are right.. it is really tricky! You need to act super fast and swirl the milk round thoroughly for it to work. Difficult to explain, just be super fast :-) Have you tried with different kinds of milk?

[@larue83tx]

Chi Ming Cheung you should check out the Nespresso Creatista Plus. You can control the milk temp to make it creamier and easier to work with. 🙂

[@Eimil2]

I tried to do the same thing you did but my milk still came out super foamy. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Please help! :(

[@yihuili2717]

Hi Dritan, I tried it using both the latte whisk and the cappuccino whisk but it didn't work. Can you give me some tips, and is the incorporating of the milk and the foam very important? Thanks!

[@dritanalsela]

Hey there, it‘s the most decisive! It is really tricky I have to admit. The key is that you work really fast and keep the milk moving once you‘re done texturing it.. that way the foam does not separate from the milk and gets stiff. But as said, it‘s not all too easy.

[@Lama-iq6kl]

Dritan Alsela i have problem with texturing the milk! Every time i try to mix it all together it goes too bubbly. What shall i do?

[@weylin07]

I am using this Nespresso frothier as well, but my milk is too foamy! And can’t make the art! Please can someone advice me how I can fix it?

[@classymesopotamian560]

you can fill it up to either line, just make sure when you pour it into the jug from the aeroccino, you do all the tapping and move it in circular motion as he did or as a barista does, until you feel the milk liquid has mixed with the foam, creating a SILKY consistency, then pour it back into the aeroccino and once again into the jug, tap it a little bit more, the tap is to get rid of air bubbles. Then as you feel it has a silky milk consistency and all equal, do the latte art (but learn how the milk is poured for latte art, because movement is important. Hope this helps.

[@weylin07]

Classy Mesopotamian thank you so much!!!

[@classymesopotamian560]

Mrs. Yew you’re so welcome 😊

[@Empi31337]

i would first create foam with the heating function (red light) second step after the red light turned off, start the "cold foam function" (longer press on button, blue light) to mix the foam with milk and destroy the big bubbles to micro foam.

[@markoveljanovski881]

Empi31337 Thanks for the info. I will try to do this today.

[@KellAlbuquerque]

@@markoveljanovski881 what is the result.?

[@markoveljanovski881]

KellAlbuquerque Ik I made the comment a long time ago but the technique didnt really work out for me. The milk had a lot of foam and I wasnt really able to do latte art with it. If you attach the whisk as you would for a cappucino the milk is way too thick for latte art but if you dont use the whisk it is simply hot milk with no microfoam. What kind of worked for me is doing it without the whisk (like you would to make a latte) two times

[@MasterPiece-rg7ed]

@@markoveljanovski881 he probably doesnt even have aeroccino lol Just fill it up to the upper max line with the cappuccino whisk. It is not recommended snd thats why he took it off before it stopped because if it continued the milk will flood over.

Would this be a small latte or a flat white??
