I just purchased a Nemox Milki Frother, and so far it looks like a good solution for getting steam frothing capabilities at a reasonable price. I use a full automatic Gagggia Platinum Vision at home, but for travel I carry a Nespresso Esprenzza. I load my own cartridges for the Nespresso and it produces very good coffee, but lacks frothing capabilities. The Milki steam frother is small enough to conveniently pack in the car along with the Nespresso and a grinder.
I would appreciate knowing of a source for purchasing the water filters for the Nemox Milki.

TIP: If you like to load your own cartridges for the Nespresso, I suggest that you make a trip to Bed Bath and Beyond and purchase a 10 pack of "Espresso" brand capsules for about $5.00. After use, take a pointed knife or awl and pop the top off of the capsules. They are very long lasting reusable cartridges. Just fill them with relatively fine ground beans an cover with a piece of aluminum foil. You will very quickly get a feel for how much to tamp the fill.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it's the only filter that seemed to be associated with the Nemox gear you mentioned.

Hi Tom C -

That's not the one. The filter in the Milki filters the water going into the boiler, but also adds something to prevent boiler calcification. All the water is converted to steam for frothing.

Thank you for your interest.
