Does this only work with capsules or also ground espresso, and is the Milk Frother a separte device?

Yes it only works with capsules, the frother is attached but separate from the expresso part. They have to be done separately, but is very quick.

It only works with the Nespresso capsules and the frother is not separate although it is removeable.

It pretty much works as any frother would with different milk types. It works really well as a whole. I hope this helps. Enjoy it is a great machine.

Yes it does...the only big issue I find is in Cappacino...the milk froth is not hot at all - its at room temperature...

Search for "Nespresso Aeroccino CitiZ & Milk Frothing Froth Whisk Wisk with Pull Stem" on ebay. Several new ones for sell there for $14.95. When mine doesn't work I push down on the stem or pull it up a little and it has always started working.

Yes!! It works amazingly well. I have had this machine for over a year now and Iove it!! Friends frequently want just the frothed milk and they are amazed at how perfect every drink turns out. Every cup is hot and perfect. I do maintain it well though; whenever it says to descale the machine I do as instructed. Very easy to maintaine. I would never live without one now and it paid for itself after six months!!

Another option...I don't even use that bothersome setup. I just stick the steamer nozzle straight into my cup of milk, froth it and then stick the cup under the espresso spout and finish up. In the meantime, I take off the steamer nozzle and go rinse it and put it back on. It's just a lot faster and less of a hassle.

I LOVE my Jura frother, and so far have only used it to froth 2% milk. BUT, I would think you could add espresso grounds to it, just clean it out well after use.

All of the answers provided here are correct about dual capsules (one milk and one coffee) for the cappuccino or latte type drinks. The packages and capsules provide simple instructions and even recommended amount settings for your machine to make the ideal cup!

Kind of... to steam and froth the milk (required for a cappuccino) you would need a separate device. Nespresso makes models that have a milk reservoir that will steam and froth milk for you, but that is not this specific model. This one does espresso (one part of the cuppiccino) and coffee

I wish I could give you a definitive answer. I'm not familiar with the Nespresso Capsules. It works with the K-cups but I'm not sure it will work with anything else. You could try it and if it doesn't work, return it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

The version I have at work doesn't have a separate milk function, so you'd have to do the milk separately unless you were getting one that had the milk already in the pod. (IE, one of those versions of cappuccinos that aren't really "real" cappuccinos.) I don't think that this specific type of brewer has a milk frother attachment, although some of the newer or smaller versions would.

I have read that they work in any machine that is not a capsule machine. They are round, flat paper discs filled with 7 grams of coffee. Sorry I can't be of more help, but perhaps if I knew specefically what machine you are using.

The boxes you buy for cappuccino, latte, etc. Include 2 separate capsules for each cup you make, one is coffee the other is for the frothed milk. Instructions on the capsules explain how to use them. I love this machine!

no. It works with the expresso/coffee maker. Hooks to end of steam tube. Works fine once on for a few months. But if you regularly use the machine every day, the rubber part breaks down quickly and it's expensive to replace. I no longer use this. Have gone to better things like the Nexpresso a $100 frother. Check it out. I got it on Amazon too. Well worth the money and it makes amazing froth (like at Starbucks) that you can sometimes cut with a knife. Totally please with Nexpresso.

I doubt if it's capable of a stiff froth. There appears to be a number of variables that affect the final result. I find that a larger volume of milk ( warmed for cappuccino ) with froth a bit stiffer than a lesser amount. I use my device because it requires far less cleanup work than the espresso machine steamer. Yes it does take a while for any semblance of froth to develop an no it will not be stiff, but, it is adequate for the ease of cleanup .

I've tried many different espresso/cappuccino makers over the years and none of the frother attachments were very good. Initially they were ok but they all got worse over time even with frequent cleaning of the frothing tube. I found the best way to froth the milk is to heat the milk first (in microwave or stove top) then place the milk in one of those French Press coffeemakers and pump the press up and down until the milk froths (pump about 8-12 times). It works every time regardless of the the type of milk you use (whole, 2%, 1% or skim). I hope that helps!

I really didn't do it like you said above but I did make a frappe with a spoon of nescafe and sugar in a half glass of water and then used this to froth it. I must say that it really does the job well and much quicker than the last time when I used a plastic shaker.
