EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2025.
Just about everyone is looking for ways to save money these days. If you’re making your own coffee at home more often, you might be interested in adding some fancier touches, maybe with a special coffee maker or even an espresso machine, or even something as simple as cold foam or a flavored creamer. There are all kinds of ways to make coffee at home look and taste a little more like what you’d get at the coffee shop.
Aldi rotates all kinds of coffee-making machines and accessories onto the shelves in its middle aisle, and I’ve seen everything from coffee pod organizers to single serve machines to iced coffee makers and even retro coffee makers.
One of the latest coffee gadgets to show up in the weekly Aldi ad is a handheld milk frother.
A milk frother aerates milk, adding tiny bubbles that give it more volume and a foamy consistency. Frothed milk is great with coffee, espresso, cappuccino, machiattos, mochas, tea lattes, and even hot chocolate. The milk helps to balance out coffee’s naturally bitter flavor.
What We Know:
The Ambiano Handheld Frother cost $7.99 in 2025. That’s the same price it cost in 2023 and 2024.
Handheld frothers with on Amazon start at around $9 and go up from there. The Aldi handheld frother is cheaper than most frothers I found on Amazon, but not necessarily by a lot.
In December of 2025, the frother is available in black, blue, or purple.
This is an Aldi Find, so it’s in stores for just a short time. Each store will receive one shipment, and once it sells out, it’s gone until whenever Aldi decides to bring it back. Aldi doesn’t offer online ordering for products that are not in stock at your local store.
This is scheduled to be in stores December 24th, 2025.
Ambiano is not a company. Instead, it’s the private label Aldi uses for assorted kitchen products such as juice extractors, coffee makers, waffle makers, and more.
Here’s more information, according to Aldi:
- High-powered foam maker for coffee, cappuccino, keto coffee, etc.
- Quick touch button for fast and easy use
- Only 2 AA batteries needed (included)
- Easy-to-clean double whisk design
- Includes metal stand for counter display
What We Don’t Know:
We haven’t tried the Ambiano Handheld Frother, so we don’t know how well it works or how durable it is. Our purpose in writing open threads is to create a space where readers can talk about Aldi products.
Have you purchased the Ambiano Handheld Frother? Tell us your thoughts about it in the comments.
Pitcher is fairly standard, good quality, and has measuring markings on the inside. Similar ones online seem to be $8-9. Frother works great. Seems like a copy of the ‘Aerolatte’ one that goes for $10-20, except the Aldi version has a double whisk. The battery compartment was unclear, but you have to put the batteries in opposite directions. The stand is handy (and doesn’t take up much space) and cleanup is a breeze, just rinse off the whisk part with hot water.
Question: I’m using the Aldi brand oat milk, and it doesn’t seem to hold up the frothed milk that well. I’m a new-ish barista, and I’m treating it basically the same as I do steamed milk, but the froth collapses almost immediately after tapping and swirling the frothed oat milk. I saw claims that the Aerolatte keeps the froth for quite a long time. Am I not supposed to tap frothed milk? Or is the Aldi oat milk just not as good as e.g. Oatly’s barista blend?
The instructions for the milk frother on/off function seem to imply that the button stays on when you press it. Wondering if I have a faulty unit as I have to firmly hold down the button for it to stay on. I contacted the 866 sales support number but they were clueless.
Mine works the same way.
Can’t get it to turn on. I have tried the batteries in every possible direction. I’m going to return it.
Doesn’t work, even tried new batteries. Disappointing waste of time & money.
