Subject: expensive milk frother + stove-top moka = bad idea?
 

Hey folks, i've been debating whether I should fork out some money to get an espresso machine that'll also foam some milk and give up on my stove-top moka and intensely stirred microwaved milk drinks. Then I discovered this: Mod Edit: Commercial link removed! The Aeroccino Automatic Milk Frother, said to yield amazing results. Question: should I purchase the milk frother and keep using my stove-top moka to make lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, etc... Or is it just not the same compared to frother + "real" espresso machine? I guess the real question is how much of a difference is there between lattes made with stove-top moka and espresso machine. Thanks for your answers!

The froth quality would probably be on par, but if you're after espresso, you'll need an espresso machine.

The Aeroccino is said to make decent frothed milk.  Why don't you buy one from William-Sonoma?  They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
