Subminimal NanoFoamer Pro Gen-2 milk frother ☕

This hands-free milk foamer from Subminimal brings café-quality microfoam to home or small commercial setups, producing rich, creamy foam for lattes and cappuccinos while handling both dairy and plant-based milks. With precise height adjustment and splash-resistant construction, it streamlines beverage prep and keeps cleanup simple.

Key Points

The NanoFoamer Pro Gen-2 focuses on velvety microfoam rather than dry froth, creating a creamy texture that suits latte art and silky cappuccinos. It reaches final milk temperatures up to about 70°C, which, according to the manufacturer, can be roughly 12.8°C higher than previous models, so drinks come out hotter when you prefer them that way. The unit works hands-free and builds microfoam in about 1 to 2 minutes, helping synchronize foam production with your espresso routine.

The design includes an ultra-fine impeller height adjuster that moves in 0.4 mm increments per click. This allows you to refine the vortex and magnetic balance to suit different milk types and recipes. The sealed Strix-style kettle connector and improved sealing reduce milk residue and allow safe rinsing under running water thanks to an IPX-5 splash resistance rating. Remember never to fully immerse electrical appliances.

Technical Specifications

• Name: Subminimal NanoFoamer Pro Gen-2
• Adjustment step: 0.4 mm per click
• Splash resistance: IPX-5
• Maximum milk temperature: up to 70°C (manufacturer figure)
• Average frothing time: 1-2 minutes

Practical Tips

For best results, start with chilled milk and test small tweaks to the impeller height until the vortex produces a dense, silky microfoam. Plant-based milks often require slightly different adjustment than dairy, so make subtle changes and let the unit complete the cycle hands-free. After use, rinse the frothing chamber under running water and wipe external surfaces, taking care not to submerge the base or connector.

Advantages

The improved sealing and thicker heat diffuser minimize buildup, making maintenance easier between uses. The adjustable impeller gives more control than fixed wand or handheld frothers, which can help when working with alternative milks that are prone to producing airy foam. As a compact countertop accessory it fits into routine workflows and pairs well with home espresso machines or pour-over setups.
