I really don't know.I didn't try-I am sorry and my Aroma is now dead.It did do best with certain types(brands even) of milk.Hopefully someone with a working one-if there are any-can tell you!

I haven't tried it that way, though I usually shake my milk before pouring it into a mug to heat it, then I transfer the milk to the frother, fill my mug with coffe, and pour the warm frothed milk onto my coffee. I use a ratio of about 3:1, almond milk and flavored half&half; (usually coffeemate); It works fine for my expectations of a latte with froth on top. If you want a cappaccino, then I don't think this device is a good fit. I'm very happy with a bit of froth on top...very much like when you order a latte from a coffee shop. Hope that helps!

I use it to froth milk for lattes, so I believe you'll be happy with the results.

I froth the milk for 3 minutes before I brew the coffee. The milk is very hot and the coffee is very hot when it is dripping. When it's all finished the latte is actually too hot to immediately drink. We love this machine. Makes two big mugs. The only milk that it doesn't froth good is chocolate soy milk. Don't know why because it will froth regular soy milk very well.

It died early, but they sent me another one. It works better with milk with fat in it than on nonfat. I haven't had great luck with soy or almond milk.

Sure Patricia. I haven't actually made almond milk with it yet, but I put whole almonds in my green drinks and I get a smoothe finish every time. So have fun making your milk my dear. Carol.

I used whole milk and it frothed very well. It is a denser froth than that from a low fat milk.

Will do an OK job for two small cups. For serious milk frothing yes, you'd need a separate milk frother.

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.

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.

Just be sure that you have used plenty of water so that you have good steam.I have used various grades of milk and found that the lower fat content seems to be better. Also be sure that you insert the steam knozzle deep into the milk and not just on top and use lots of steam and you will have good thick froth. Good Luck

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!

I never tried froathing with almond milk. Can't hurt to try. For the price, this one can't be beat.

I'm pretty sure milk made from powdered milk should froth up fine. We use ours many times daily and it has lasted very well, btw. A large deep mug should be okay.

Again, depends on how yoou define 'problem.' It's not the hottest you will find but reasonable. You need to clean the inside well then let it air dry or hand dry. Surprisingly, I found that real soy milk froths better than regular milk-almond milk, not so much.

Yes, it should work satisfactorily with Almond Milk, but some brands of milk froth better than others.
