Nespresso Aeroccino [Cooking]
Jun 30
Fresh Foodie - OK, I'm sold. At $ 79.95 (if I read that right) not a bad purchase... now if I could only afford an espresso machine. :-(

FF - IIRC, I bought mine at CA Paradis. They might have broken open one of the bundle packs in order to get at it. It's what I've been using to keep me in latte-land before shelling out the $800 for the fan-damn-tastic Lattissima EN680 (with built-in cup warmer and automatic milk steamer/frother). Works great, but I haven't tried making milk froth with it so I can't comment on how good the cappuccinos are.
The other option is to call them up and order it directly through them: 800-562-1465.
Switzerland won my heart for selling Nespresso pods at half the price we can get them here.
F&T - Nespresso's still selling their bundle pack of an Essenza C100 plus Aeroccino for $300, although I don't know if that's within price limit or not.
Frigging love my Nespresso.

Zym.. please do! That being said.. the machine looks pretty cool. It seems that Williams-Sonoma sells it for $100 USD in their American stores, and 'may' sell it in their Canadian stores... hmmmm. road trip to Toronto anyone?

Pete - W-S delivers as well, if you ask. Might be cheaper than the gas to Toronto, if we can't find the separate one here.

Yeah, gas to Toronto and back would be around $100... Yikes! That doubles the price of the Aeroccino. Certainly better to get it shipped if possible.

If any of you do decide to do a road trip to shop in Toronto, I'd be glad to check Williams-Sonoma for you to see if they have what you're looking for.

As follow-up, we had a little dinner party here tonight and I can now attest that the Aeroccino makes an extremely convincing milk foam. Honestly, I don't know how it does it with just a wire whisk and heat.

I bought my Nespresso and Aeroccino from C.A. Paradis (I discovered it while in Italy last year). I cannot live without it-I used to own manual Pavina in which I paid over $1500 for, and I honestly prefer my little capsule eating God! They sold my sister an Aeroccino on it's own a couple of weeks ago, but you have to ask specifically for it. I guess it's hard for them to acquire as well. Good Luck!

An update: Home Outfitters now appear to carry the standalone Aeroccino product both in the stores and online. www.homeoutfitters.com
Price is $100. It's a nice companion for an AeroPress or a Bialetti-style stovetop espresso maker.

It is very fast, completely silent, simple to clean, and beautiful to look at. It has a temperature sensor, so it heats the milk only as much as needed.

This topic is strangely related to Zymurgist's "building a stir plate" (ottawafoodies.com/forum/1084), since it uses the same technology. Perhaps this could be his next project. ;-)
