A woman recently shared her long-overlooked mistake when using her Nespresso coffee machine, which has led many people to reevaluate their own coffee-making habits.
Social media creator Brittmariebox posted a TikTok video revealing how she had been using her Nespresso milk frother incorrectly for years, even though she had owned the device for four years.
She admitted that her daily coffee routine, particularly when it came to frothing milk, was seriously flawed, leading to messy results.
The Milk Frothing Misstep and How Britt Realized It
In her video, Britt explained how she had been struggling with her milk frother for a long time.
Despite using the device to make oat milk lattes with no issues, she encountered a major problem when she switched to cow’s milk. Every time she tried to froth the milk, it would overflow, creating a mess.
No matter how little milk she used, the frother seemed to malfunction, causing milk to spill everywhere.
After trying to fix the problem by purchasing the larger XL version of the frother for £100, Britt discovered the real issue wasn’t the machine, but her misunderstanding of how it worked.
The Key to Making Perfect Lattes with Nespresso’s Frother
Britt revealed that she had been filling her frother to the wrong maximum line, assuming both were the same. However, she soon discovered that one line was for cappuccinos, which require a lot of froth, and the other was for lattes, which need less froth and more steamed milk.
To her surprise, the secret to a proper latte was simply removing the spring from the magnetic whisk before inserting it back into the frother. With this simple adjustment, she could now make the perfect amount of milk with just the right amount of foam for her lattes.
The Aeroccino Frother: How Nespresso Machines Are Designed to Work
Nespresso’s Aeroccino frother has become a popular tool for creating perfect coffee drinks at home.
It is designed to make everything from cappuccinos to lattes, hot milk, and even iced drinks.
The key to using it properly lies in understanding how the two maximum lines inside the frother function.
Nespresso’s website explains that the lower line is for frothing milk for cappuccinos, while the upper line is for heating milk with minimal frothing, perfect for lattes and hot chocolates.
What Other Users Are Saying About the Milk Frother Mistake
After Britt’s video gained traction, many people commented, sharing their relief that they weren’t alone in making this mistake.
One user mentioned switching from soy milk to almond or oat milk and experiencing the same overflowing issue for years without understanding the cause.
Another user expressed gratitude for Britt’s post, sharing how they had been frustrated for years because they wanted lattes, not cappuccinos, but didn’t know how to adjust the frother correctly.
Many were surprised that this simple yet crucial step had never been highlighted in the manuals or tutorials they had seen.
Britt’s video has sparked a lot of conversation about the little-known details that can make a big difference in the way we use our everyday appliances.
It seems that even after years of using a product, there can still be surprises that improve our daily routines—especially when it comes to something as beloved as a perfect cup of coffee.
