Aeroccino 3 issue- no froth

AM21

Hi,
I recently purchased a nespresso aeroccino 3 and I have looked up the various YouTube videos showing how to use it as I was concerned I was using it incorrectly.
The problem is, all of these videos showed loads of froth, whereas all i've managed to make us warm milk with a few bubbles.
I am wondering, am I using the wrong milk? I've been using low fat milk.
I am using the correct whisk, etc. so all I can think is that I should be using a different type of milk?
Thanks!

Different brands of milk froth differently.
Try a few different brands to see what works for you.
I find M&S milk or Avonmore to work well for me.
SuperValu or Lidl/aldi foams poorly for me.

The ability to froth the milk varies I find. Sometimes its fine sometimes its not. Nothing to do with the brand or type of milk.
I heard before (dont know where) that this happens with milk from time to time and its down to how the cows are impacted by temperature changes...some Coffee shops have big issues were us home users are just inconvenienced...

Thanks for the replies! I hope it's just down to the type of milk I was using! I am going to try avonmore this evening and hope for the best! Thanks guys:-)

CMP milk works well for me. Also, I find, milk froths best when it's very, very fresh (6-8 days before the use by date).

I had one of these and found this time of year very hard to forth the milk in it. Was told its the feeds for cattle that was the problem and to try the low fat milk, think brown thomas use M&S low fat milk in the Nespresso shop
