Can I frother almond milk?
179178
I personally have never frothed almond milk, but my son has told me that it works well with his Aeroccino. In general, the less the amount of fat in your milk, the better the froth (for example, skim milk or 1% will yield better froth than whole milk). Froth results can also vary between different brands of milk.

I have had no success with anything except 2% cow's milk. I have tried whole milk (no) and 2% plus a tiny bit of a non-dairy creamer (no). I think I even tried 1% milk, but don't remember. Never tried almond milk, which sounds delicious, so based on my experience I would say no. Maybe I will try it in the near future and then let you know. It would be interesting if it did froth. There's always the hand-held frother which works with everything! '

sure, may not be as 'full' as other milks but you can; I just started using non sweetened soy milk from Trader Joe's the dream milk type, and boy, that froths the best and tastes way better than I thought it would

The Aerocino works best with low fat content milk. I use skim milk and it froths that just perfectly. I have used skim milk from the store as well as skim milk made from powdered milk and they both work equally well.

Nope. Neither can it froth coconut milk, though it'll heat both. Someone told me they were able to froth soymilk with it, though. I've had success with both freshly opened single-serve cartons of Horizon Organic 1% and Fair Life (Fair Oaks Dairy's protein-enhanced reduced-sugar lactose-free) 2%--provided I first chill the Aeroccino by letting ice cubes sit in it for a minute or longer before dumping them out. Nespresso advised me to use Horizon Organic 1% that was no older than three days past opening--but darned if I was going to waste a half-gallon of milk.

Yes! I have recently made the switch from cows milk to almond milk. I was a bit worried about frothing the almond milk in the nespresso. But I tried it and it worked perfectly. I'm so happy it can froth anything. I love my nespresso.

I used almond milk tonight for the 1st time and it wouldn't froth at all. I finished making my latte,though cause I was curious,but it tasted bad..therefore,if you want to use an alternative to cow's milk,choose soy milk. I especially like an unsweetened vanilla kind since I like my drinks sugar-free.

If you already have a blendtec or a vitamix and you only want to make almond milk, you absolutely don't need this. I only make almond milk in my vitamix. I use the Soyajoy to cook soymilk (because boiling it on the stovetop became a nightmare), but I then re-blend the soymilk in my vitamix because this thing is worthless as a blender.

Almond milk does froth quite nicely. I cannot compare this machine with any others, but it gives a nice rich froth.

The instructions say "you can substitute soy, almond or coconut milk for regular milk. Cooking time might need to be augmented for nondairy milk."

Yes. The frother will froth Almond milk, however, Soy works better. Moreover, I would guess Almond milk's frothing abilities differ by brand. For instance, with Soy, Organic Valley froths better than some varieties of Silk. I just tried the Silk brand Almond milk and the result was acceptable, but nowhere as good as I can get it with Soy. Coconut milk frothes the least well.

I tried the almond milk and it didn't froth up very well for me. So far my favorite is Lactose Free Milk which I heat in microwave about 20-25 seconds and then froth up....yum.

I have tried heating soy milk and it turned a little grayish and separated a little. Almond milk works better.

This is a PS to a previous answer I submitted. A blender may be better for making almond milk. I have a Hamilton Beach Model 54619 and I made seeded watermelon juice and the seeds ended up being just tiny little black specks in the juice.

No. This machine does not froth any sort of milk. There is a recipient behind where you put water - there is no place for milk. I heard the machine "latissima" is the only one that froth milk. I belive you would be able to froth soy milk there. You also can froth milk in the "nespresso aeroccino". Hope this helped!

If you are doing only a cup of almond milk at a time, this might work. It is just 3-inches in diameter, and it fits nicely into a mug when steeping a cup of hot tea. The mesh is very fine, and catches all but the finest particles of tea leaves. However, if you are wanting to strain a larger quantity of almond milk, you would want a larger strainer for the job.

For what it's worth, I have an Aeroccino and the almond frothing there is finicky and spotty, too - sometimes it's great, sometimes not - often depends on the brand of milk (but now, after about 1 1/2 years, none seems to work well...)

Well it does do almond milk, and its not like its worlds simpler, so yes. I believe the instructions say to use the "porridge" button, but I forget exactly which button. I recommend you read through the comments since there are a lot of people commenting on that.

My take is you could make "coconut water" rather than coconut milk.The machine isn't an extractor - it essentially pulverizes what goes into the cup and mixes it with the (required) liquid in the tank.I've added some shredded coconut (either fresh or re-constituted - not dry) to almonds almonds for a coconut-flavored almond milk.If you're after actual coconut milk/nectar, a juice/extractor might be a better bet. But you should still check with manufacturer, as there are different grades/strengths of juicers.Also, definitely check with Soyabella's manufacturer and let us know if you can, in fact make coconut milk with it.

I would think it would, only because I haven't actually used it for milk once! I used it to whip a salad dressing that was more of a glaze and it was amazingly mixed/whipped so if it does that for vinegar and oil, i think it would make warm almond milk frothy as well! :)

I did make almond milk with it. It came out a little thick. It doesn't have a setting to make an unheated milk like you usually would for almond milk. Unless the juice button is it. There are no instructions for it. I just used the soymilk button. I returned mine and got one that is a lot less work and has a mill button for making raw nut milks. The milk turns out way smoother too. I have the soyabella now.

Yes Vitamix 5200 can make Nut milks of all sorts. For almond milk you add 1 cup of raw almonds (or cashews to make cashew milk) with 3 cups of water, and add any sweetener to taste if you want to add sweetness. Only takes 2 minutes. The ratios of nuts/seeds to water vary when making other milks like sesame, coconut, soy, and rice. But it can make all of these and more.
