2. Difference Between Inissia Variants

The DeLonghi D40 is available in two different variants, it is nothing but getting the ‘machine only’ or ‘machine plus Aeroccino’ option.

Having said that, the latter deal i.e. the machine plus Aeroccino includes the Aeroccino with about 50% discount. It makes the deal worth a shot compared to getting the Aeroccino or another frother after buying this machine.

In the same manner, getting the Nespresso Inissia espresso machine with the built-in frother will get any cheaper than this. Moreover, the Nespresso Inissia espresso with the frother you might have seen on other Nespresso Inissia reviews will cost more than the going for this deal.

Therefore, the added advantage of getting the Aeroccino with Inissia is independent functioning. You can frother the milk along with brewing a Nespresso because both the machines don’t have a common power source. Also, the Aeroccino allows you to froth the milk either cold or hot according to your will.

3. Can Inissia Make Cappuccino and Latte?

Nespresso Inissia espresso is a regular machine which doesn’t have the built-in frothing wand. So, technically, this coffee maker can neither make cappuccino or latte. However, this scenario is the same for all the espresso machines.

In the same manner, getting this machine along with the Aeroccino will allow you to make frothed coffees. Because Aeroccino can help you make other types of coffee with its frothed milk and Nespresso shot.

4. Use of Aeroccino

As we mentioned, Aeroccino is a frothing machine which requires a power source to function. However, the Aeroccino will prepare the frothed milk slightly different that of the frothing wand. As in the case of the Aeroccino, it has a rotary motor developing the froth. Whereas the steam jet produces the froth using the wand.

THE ENDNOTE

Both being the DeLonghi products are convenient to use. In fact, this deal will be the best for the people following a hectic schedule.
