Aldi's product releases in days, leaving little time for Britain's chocoholics and coffee addicts to get themselves to their nearest store.
The Ambiano Milk Frother allows customers to prepare hot or cold milk foam, as well as the ability to heat milk, making it ideal for a mug of hot chocolate or coffee.
It's also simple to use, with a sleek single-button operation, automatic switch-off and protection against over-heating.
The Milk Frother also lets its user choose from three distinct colours: black, cream or grey.

With an approximate capacity of 240ml, the budget product is coming to shelves for £14.99.
Customers should note that the product only prepares milk, and will have to be bought with coffee or hot chocolate powder separately.
People on social media who have already used the Ambiano have previously shared their reactions to the device.
One person commented on X: "My ambiano milk frother is the best ever thing I’ve bought, the whole family use it daily, it’s brill."

Another shopper said: "Finally used the Ambiano Milk Frother after 3yrs in the box - it makes the most amazing Greek Frappes, tonight it’s with Baileys, there’s no going back now!"
Comparatively, Hotel Chocolat's £99.95 version charges customers more for a similar experience, with some aspects notably weaker than the Aldi frother.

has a 200ml capacity compared to Aldi's 240ml, which is the difference between being able to pour a whole extra cup.
Hotel Chocolat's product takes two and a half minutes to prepare a coffee that the website describes as "barista-grade".
Several reviews on the company's product page have expressed delight with the Velvetiser, but do suggest that it works better if you buy Hotel Chocolat's separate chocolate sachets.
One person said: "I wanted to give 10 stars. If you’re debating buying this, just do it, do it now!
"I wake up every morning happy since purchasing the velvetiser and the unreal chocolate sachets.
"I tried using milk and my own dark cooking chocolate and it did not taste anywhere near as good as the chocolate sachets."
Another customer wrote: "I used the velvetiser for the first time before a night shift and was really surprised at how quick and easy it is to use.
"No cons to the device at all.
"My only con would be the price of the multipack sachets."
