Getting Started with NanoFoamer
Check out our new Quick Start Guide for tips, tricks, videos, and links. Here are some links and info to help you get started. Do Make sure you have well charged batteries for best resuts Slowly warm your milk to 55-65°C (130°F- 150°F) for optimum sweetness and the best texture. Use a narrow jug and ensure you have at least 40mm (1.5”) depth in the milk. Start with the fine NanoScreen if it’s your first time, it’s a little bit easier. KeepPopularChanging batteries on the V2
The battery compartment is closed with a waterproof seal, making it a little stiff to open but the process is simple, as shown in the video below. Avoid pulling on the shaft Hold the handle in one hand and push the metal cap forward with two fingers while pulling the cap with the other hand.PopularWhat is the difference between the NanoFoamer V2 & Lithium?
Both units have the same design and components, as shown on our web page. The differences are: The V2 is powered by two AA batteries (not included) and has a top speed of about 3,000 RPM The Lithium is rechargeable via USB-C, powered by a 3.7V built-in Lithium-Ion battery, and has a two-speed option: 4,000 RPM and 3,000 RPM when fully charged.PopularCleaning the NanoScreens
Best practices Rinse and spin the NanoFoamer immediately after each use, either in a glass of water or directly under running water in the sink. This will prevent any milk from drying on the NanoScreen and the rotation will eject any residue. Occasionally remove the NanoScreen and give it a scrub. We don't recommend removing the NanoScreen with each use as it may gradually loosen the fit. Unclogging a NanoScreen If your NanoScreen has become clogged with dry milk over time, take it off thPopularWhich AA batteries should I use?
What are the best batteries to use? Using good batteries is important because the faster the NanoFoamer spins, the more power it has to pull surface floating bubbles down and then them into microfoam. Rechargeable vs Alkaline We like to use rechargeable batteries because it is more ecological but also because you'll always have a fresh set of batteries ready to switch out at a moment's notice. Branded vs Supermarket or OEM batteries We highly recommend not choosing generic suSome readersNanoFoamer Power Comparison
Which one is better? The NanoFoamer Lithium runs on 3.7V Lithium-Ion battery and drives the impeller at 4k RPM when fully submerged. Brand new Eneloop Pro batteries will provide only 3V of power and drive the impeller to a maximum of 3k RPM when fully submerged. So the Lithium will always be more powerful than even the best AA batteries on the market. In fact, the Lithium has two speeds and the slow speed of the Lithium is about equal to the fastest speed of the V2.Few readersChanging the impeller on the NanoFoamer
The impeller on the NanoFoamer V2 and Lithium can be replaced by simply unscrewing it as shown in the video below. Note that the impeller on the first edition NanoFoamer cannot be replaced.Few readersCan the Lithium-Ion battery be replaced in the NanoFoamer Lithium?
In the the NanoFoamer Lithium models from 2023 onwards, the battery can be replaced. Please contact us to help identify your model and for replacement steps if you need to replace the battery.Few readersCan I use a fast charger, or powerful charger with the NanoFoamer Lithium?
Yes, so long as it is a good quality USB power supply that follows USB specifications. Why: USB-C power supplies (chargers) must only provide 5V / 2A by default. They can then provide more power, fast charging, power delivery, or anything special only if they communicate with the device and agree that it can accept more power. In the case of the NanoFoamer Lithium, no such communication will occur, so all chargers should only provide 5V 2A for normal-speed charging.Few readersNanoScreen Compatibility
Are they cross compatible? V1 NanoScreens on V2 models That legacy (V1) NanoScreens will fit in the V2 & Lithium models by pressure fitting, although they were not designed to fit. The screens will therefore be pressure fitted and not snap fitted in. V2 NanoScreens on V1 models The V2 screens do not fit the legacy models.Few readersDoes the NanoFoamer heat the milk?
