Bistro Electric Milk Frother, 13.5 Ounce, White

A good frother . Came with a two pinned plug . Hence only four stars ! Still kept it tho

12o Volts I figured it out the hard way

Item arrived with 3 pin American plug

I was away for work for two weeks and was spoiled by my morning cappuccino. When I came home I was using my little hand wisk but those really aren’t made for daily use so I went to the good old internet and googled best frothers. This was one of the suggestions that came up. I was split between a few but with this I decided to pull the trigger because of the sleek design and dishwasher safe pieces. So far I’m happy. As others have noted it’s a noisy little machine but it gets the job done and with significantly more foam than I was getting with my hand held. It’s nice to set it and walk away and it works while my single serve coffee maker is also brewing. I had some trouble with the hot chocolate function. I put in a packet of coca mix with milk and it exploded. I never read the directions on that so maybe I’m not supposed to make coca that way. I have not used the cold frother function but I don’t anticipate using cold foam anyway. I typically use skim or 1% milk and I combine that with some flavored creamer. Haven’t had any issues with the frother with this combo. I don’t know if it will stand the test of time but for right now I’m happy with the purchase. Does the job, small footprint and cute.

Works as described.

I LOVED this frother when I first got it. My brother had one and I liked his so I bought the same. I love how it makes the milk a creamy froth, not too bubbly like others. I like the ability to make warm or cold frothy milk. I use the hot chocolate setting as well. But now, only 8 months later, it is making a terrible rumbling/grinding sound, and it starts to stir but then quits a few seconds later. At this price I expect it to work years, not months. I’m very disappointed. Maybe mine is just faulty, but I don’t want to buy another if it’s not gonna last longer.

This does a great job – when it works Initially, this frother, received less than three weeks ago did a great job of frothing milk for a morning matcha latté or bedtime hot chocolate/golden milk. Over the last few days, however, it has started making a grinding noise, and simply not spinning the milk around, so I assume the frothing disk isn't functioning properly. If I shut it off, then on, sometimes a few times, all without touching the whisk, it may come back. At other times, I have to stick my hand or a chopstick in (with the machine off, of course), and give it a little nudge, and it will start working again. This is regardless of whether it's milk or milk with additions which I'm trying to heat and froth, or heat and mix. This morning, it wouldn't come on at all, even to make a grinding noise, until I'd unplugged it, and plugged it back in. When it works, it's great, but this shouldn't be happening at all, and the fact that it's happening with increasing frequency is increasingly worrisome. Thank you very much for reading my review.

The nespresso version is significantly better this one is great for large quantities but the nespresso one works better for individual lattes
