Not the droid you’re looking for –
Works well to heat and froth milk/half & half/cream. Heats and froths a full volume of refrigerator temp milk much more quickly than I was expecting for a 110v appliance. Does a good job making foam and heated milk for various coffee drinks though to be honest I haven’t really tried the settings other than the default which makes good volume of foam and a good amount of warm milk – haven’t felt the need to change the setting. The size/shape fit well on the counter and don’t take up a lot of space. The controls/electronics/heater are part of the vessel, meaning that the base plate is only for heating and is therefore much smaller than other units with the controls and elements in the base. This does men that the vessel is a little bulkier than just a plain insulated cup, but not so much that it makes any functional difference. I actually like this design better than some others that I looked at with the controls in the base. It’s just much better sized for a residential counter. The handle is nicely ergonomic with rounded edges and a gentle top curve, allowing the contents to be poured easily. It is well insulated so the contents stay hot/frothed, but the user doesn’t get burned. The price is very nice for the features/function – some of these things are outrageously expensive! It is easy to clean but since the working parts are in the vessel, it is not dishwasher safe or immersion safe. We just use a soft kitchen brush with soap and hot water to wash out the vessel after each use so hot milk doesn’t get burned on. The interior is non-stick but heated milk has a way of sticking so we are just extra careful – the manual highlights cleaning any leftover milk so that it doesn’t get burned on. The thick plastic lid is see through and tight fitting with a good gasket. I wash it after each use as well as some milk does splatter up onto the inside of the lid. Over all, I like this unit very much as an inexpensive milk heater/frother. It is quick, makes good heated milk and froth and isn’t too much of a pain to have on the counter and to clean up.

I purchased this frother because of the reviews and its price — much cheaper than the Nespresso Aerocino. I use it 2-3 times a day; I love my lattes. I have had it 3 months and thus far it has performed fairly well. It heats up my milk (2% regular milk) to a good temperature, which is a failing of the Aerocino. I do notice if using higher fat content milk (I’ve been using a little lite egg nog mixed with my 2% regular milk lately), some sticking to the bottom occurs. I haven’t found it to be any more difficult to clean than any of the other similar frothers I’ve used. One does have to be careful with the whisk attachment as it does come off easily and can be a bit tricky to put on correctly. The machine will tell you if it’s not on securely by the sound it makes. I haven’t found this to be an unusual issue with this type of frother. It did stop working for me a couple times; perhaps water did seep into the motor. However, after flicking through the controls a few times and unplugging and replugging it in (perhaps resetting it?), it started to work again. The frothing modes do make a lot of foam, particularly with higher fat content milks. I heat up my milk on the heat mode, then when it clicks off, I use the light froth mode until froth starts touching the top of the lid — about 10-15 seconds. You do have to watch it because it will overflow and make a mess. I find using the foam only modes produce too much foam for me. All in all, I like this frother. I can’t yet speak to longevity. But, although it isn’t perfect, for the price point it will do.

The product is great. If you use the settings correctly it will heat any milk type and froth it amazingly. (For low fat milks you may need a double froth but what do you expect with a milk that is 98%water). I loved my first one and used it every day multiple times a day for months. BUT… As an under caffeinated brainless mom I put it in the sink to wash it and got to it later… by that point my partner had washed several dishes over the appliance resulting in water getting inside where the copper heating mechanism lives. This caused SMOKE when I wasn’t using the device. So for my next one and for anyone who purchases… run the inside under water immediately after use and don’t get water on the outside or bottom. Otherwise you’ll be writing a review promising the product is great and that the issues are in fact your fault as the user.

Others have said this but there goes. We love this pot. It’s simple and does a great job. We’ve gone through I don’t know how many wand style frothers and this is so much better. But there are some things that are frustrating about it.- Don’t froth with the lid on. At least in our experience the lid design actually catches the frothing milk and causes it to overflow and spit from the spout. Which leads me to…- Trust the max fill line for frothing! They aren’t messing around. It will pour over. When we tempt fate with even an extra 1/8′ it froths over.- Don’t get the outside wet if you can avoid it. It’s true. If you get water in it – I’m not sure if it’s via the panel or the bottom – the heating element won’t work. We thought we had a lemon on our hands until the manufacturer suggested we just let it sit for a couple of says to dry out. They were right. It’s been fine ever since.Frustrating design flaws? Yep. That’s why no five star review from us. But once we figured out these quirks, it’s been smooth frothing for us!Pro-tip: If the max frothing level doesn’t give you enough milk for your needs, use the heating setting (on the for right) with a full pitcher first. Once that’s complete pour the heated milk out down to the max frothing level. THEN do the full froth.Pro-tip II: You may know this, but low-fat milk doesn’t froth very well. You can still do it, but it doesn’t last. 🙂

I have not yet had the nightmare experiences others have had. I have just take a note of there being no sales around any of the scenes and so I have been very careful to hand wash this. Ultimately that’s probably a waste of time so I’d suggest not getting this product unless you just want to play around for a while, but not forever.I think I paid $40 for this. So think of it as a toy that should at least last a month or two.
