Nespresso Aeroccino Automatic Milk Frother Logo
Posted on Jul 06, 2009

Aeroccino Overflows I have a brand new Aeroccino and each time I use it milk overflows all over the counter if I fill it above the lower indicator line (the line for frothing, not the max fill line.) The seal seems intact, but milk is leaking out anyway.

As a Nespresso demonstrator I've had this question many times- use the black plastic wand for light foam- can use to max line. Using the wire whisk wand for heavy, cappacino foam and fill only to bottom line. This wand uses more aeration to achieve foam density- causing more pressure and your leaks. The wand stored inside the lid doesn't have anything to do with function of the aerrocino.

I had the same problem!! I then found out I was using both attachments when frothing ( I had one attached to the lid and one inside the container while frothing). After doing a huge Internet search I found out you should only use one at a time, inside the container, and keep the other out! The reason you can attach one to the lid is so you dont lose it when not in use!! The plastic one is to be used only for heat frothing and the wire one for cool frothing.(however I am thinking you could use the wire one when heat frothing to make more froth, as the plastic one creates very little. But since I only like a little I'm not 100%). I hope this helps it really saved me!!

Have the same problem here but only happens with low fat milk (0,1%). Works fine with 0,5%.

Frother overflows even though I add correct amount of milk, or even less than called for

There are two milk amount markings in the Aeroccino - one (less) for use with the wire whisk attached, and one (more) for use when the wire whisk is detached. I had the same problem when I first used the Aeroccino, but with the correct amount of milk you shouldn't have the problem.
I hope this helps, Carole.

Electrolux dishwasher overflows

Two things to consider....clean water or dirty water?

Clean water usually indicates the fill valve is not shutting off all the way and the fill valve is "weeping" water in all the time = new fill valve time!!

Dirty water usually is not a dishwasher problem but more of a plumbing issue. Often the sink drain that carries the sinks water outside is not fast enough and some of this sink water is backing up into the drain hose and filling up the dishwasher through the drain hose. The drain from the sink to outside needs attention as this type of a problem indicates a slow house drain for that sink.

The dishwasher drain line should be clamped to the top underneath part of the counter before entering the sink drain plumbing, this may help the water from coming back inside the dishwasher.

Aeroccino frother won't turn back on after we get some froth and still more milk in container.. takes a long time to be able to activate again.. using Almond milk could be the problem any suggeest

My Nespresso Aeroccino often would not heat or froth multiple times after one use. I called Nespresso, they have excellent customer service, and was told to rise the inside (careful not to get the outside button or electric elements wet) of the Aeroccino with cold water a few times and to retry. Works like a charm!
The customer service is the best I have encountered in a long while, give them a call, it will make your day they are so pleasant and helpful!

My aeroccino leaks at the pouring spout when it is frothing, just before it is finished. How can I stop this? Please do not say I am putting to much milk in, I am far below the lower line. Is there a...

I called Nespresso and they said this happens a lot, basically it's because you're using the wrong whisk/paddle for the milk level. If you're using the metal wire whisk attachment you can only fill to the first level line. If you're using the plastic/metal attachment you can only fill to the second level line. We were using the wire whisk attachment and filling to the second line, so was overflowing everytime. Since switching attachments it heats perfectly and doesn't leak :)

Have same problem with my Citiz & Milk, I wash out the aerocinno after each use and I have cleaned it out again snnce but still cna't get it to heat the milk. The machine is only a couple of months...

The last couple of times I have used my milk frother on my Nespresso Magimix has overflowed creating a mess. Its almost as though the pressure builds up and forces the milk to overflow. Any ideas?

Burnt Milk at Bottom of Aeroccino

Try this - make a paste from bicarbonate of soda and water and let it
sit in the bottom of the frother for ten minutes or so. Then use a sponge
to clean off the milk stain and rinse and dry thoroughly. To prevent it from
recurring, rinse and dry the inside after each use and don't get the base
of the frother wet.

Nespresso aeroccino doesn't work after milk was overflowing. Is there some kind of security which can be resetted?

The company will tell you to turn upside down for 24 hours to reset. I did and this did not work, you may have gotten base wet, which can break machine. Try turning upside for aeroccino upside down for 24 hr. you do not need to do this to the base. They told me if this does not work, I need to buy a new one. I hope you have better luck.

My Aeroccino keeps overflowing even though the level of my milk is below the min level.

I am having the same problem but not every time. I went back to where I bought it and spoke with one of the reps and was told that if there is moisture under the rubber seal on the lid this will happen. To solve this I remove the rubber seal and clean it and dry it off after I am done using it. Also turn the lid over on top when not in use. Hope this helps.
