Aldi’s sell-out Scandi kitchenware is coming back to the middle aisle within days – but shoppers will have to be quick
IT'S one of the most popular Aldi products of recent months.
So you can be sure to find a queue of people waiting outside their local supermarkets next week, when their sell-out milk frother returns with a stylish new twist.
This time, it's taking full advantage of the Scandi trend, with the Scandi Milk Frother.
The £19.99 device comes in white, black or a gorgeous pastel green, with a stylish wooden handle, and is £5 cheaper than similar products in Asda.
The Scandi Kettle and Toaster, also £19.99 each, will also be returning to Aldi's middle aisle from 9th May.
The kettle has anti-slip footing, overheating protection and an automatic shut off, and also comes with a three-year warranty.

Aldi's milk frother was previously a huge success for the store, with shoppers racing to get their hands on one.
When do supermarkets put out yellow-sticker bargains?
The time supermarkets reduce their products vary across stores.
Here's a rough supermarket-by-supermarket guide:
Aldi
Aldi uses a red sticker to show reductions on fresh products such as bread, meat, fruit and vegetables.
This is when they have reached the last day of shelf life.
Red stickered items are most commonly found at opening and closing times.
M&S
Reduction times can vary from store to store but is most likely to occur near closing time.
Asda
Asda told Which? that yellow stickers are applied twice a day - in the morning and evening.
Co-op
Co-op told The Sun its reduced-to-clear prices are generally applied about four hours before the store closes.
Lidl
Lidl has a similar procedure to Asda and Aldi with reductions twice a day.
However individual stores may opt to reduce prices throughout the day.
Morrisons
Shoppers online have said that Morrisons does the best bargains first thing in the morning.
However, the store told Which? that there are no specific times for yellow sticker price cuts.
Sainsbury's
Sainsbury's told The Sun it's at the store manager's discretion whether to offer discounts.
However, shoppers have reported that the best deals are in the evening from 6pm.
Tesco
Tesco has said there is no specific time for reduction, but again most people found that prices were reduced from 6pm.
Waitrose
As with most of the other stores, Waitrose shoppers have said the best reductions are found before closing.
However the store stated that there is no specific time for yellow stickers to be applied.
"It can warm up your milk, or froth either hot or cold milk for that perfect treat!" Aldi said of the product's first incarnation.
"Just what you need for cappuccinos, lattes and hot chocolates."
Fatima was one of the lucky customers who actually managed to nab one of the devices, and said she was "more than impressed" with her experience.
"I never knew just how much I needed hot frothy milk in my home made coffees and I thank my lucky stars that I didn't impulsively buy the much pricier one," she said.
"It's not a necessary item to have in your kitchen but it did prove to me once again that you don't always have to go for the big named brands and higher prices.
"Your local Aldi will probably have what you're looking for lurking around the corner!"
While lots of people enjoy having their coffee black, there are millions of frothy coffee fans around the world.
And using heated milk in coffee in general can help make it a more enjoyable drinking experience.
"It can mask some unpleasant flavours and reduce its astringency," the pros at Cafe Direct said.
"Coffee drinks with milk also taste creamier thanks to all of the fat particles milk contains."
