Milk Frother, Automatic Milk Steamer with New Foam Density Feature, Electric Frother with Hot or Cold Milk Function for Coffee, Cappuccino and Breakfast

I've tried quite a few different styles of milk frothers over the years. I started with the "tiny whisk on a stick" variety, before moving on to one with a separate pitcher and whisk suspended on top. I received this one as a gift a few years ago and it's definitely the best one I've used overall.Pros:-Froths a really nice volume of milk! It's enough for one really big cup, or two regular size cups.-Milk froth is consistently fluffy and dense, and, on the default setting, nice and warm so it won't make your coffee cold.-Couldn't be easier to use.-Doesn't take up a lot of space. Since I use it every day, I have it always out on the counter, but it is also easily packed away in a cabinet.-Sturdy and handles being washed even if you aren't perfectly careful and get some water splashed on the outside or the bottom. I'll freely admit that happened plenty of times, but just wipe it off with a towel and you're good to go.-Reasonable price! My previous one lasted a few years of daily use and experienced no drop-off in performance until the week it finally died.-Pour spout makes it pretty easy to pour into cups.Cons:-Cleaning it can be awkward. It's pretty easy if you do it immediately after using it, but a BIG pain if you wait until anything has dried. Do yourself a favor and wash as soon as you're done frothing a batch of milk. It helps to have a small scrubber or small brush; a sponge will struggle with the edges.-A little less convenient to pour than one without an integrated pitcher.-No sound to inform you when it's done, just a flashing light. Not necessarily going to be an issue most of the time, but worth noting if you're the sort that wants to walk off in between.Overall I definitely recommend this frother to anyone looking for frothed milk at home. It's not very expensive and produces great results, and lasts a long time.

I am totally wild about this little frother.It operates quickly, and with little noise. If standing right by it, I can hear it operate, but not if I walk away just a few feet.The heating only function stirs the milk rapidly, so it still creates a light foam, the frothing whisk creates a great deal of thick, heavy foam.I love to use it for cold foam, too for cold coffees and teas. It still creates a thick, heavy cold foam.The only drawback I've found is the frother creates a milkfat skin on the bottom, over the heating element which has to be brushed out each use, it can't be just rinsed away from one use to another until the coffee pot is empty and I'm ready to properly wash it.Even with the milkfat skin, its nonstick interior is super easy to clean up, I just use a soft brush on the inside, and a damp cloth on the outside, and wash it when I wash my mug. It takes me maybe a minute to completely clean it.A few tips: the quality of your foam depends heavily on the type of milk you use; if you aren't getting the results you're looking for, try another milk variety. Even the packaging matters. I found my favorite organic whole milk froths better when it is from a paper half gallon than from the plastic gallon.You can add granular sugar to it when heating for a sweet foam, but when adding for cold foam, use a liquid sweetener.

This thing is great. I make dry cappuccinos every day, the traditional kind that are 1/3 espresso and 2/3 foamy milk, not the way-to-milky concoctions we now get most places. My wife likes 1% milk while I like skim. I make one cup at a time, using about 2.5oz of milk. I had an original Nespresso Aeroccino (chrome with a black handle) which had worked well for a number of years, producing adequate foam. But it was failing. I replaced it with the Nespresso Aeroccino 3 which did not foam either kind of milk properly, at worst producing warm milk, at best a little bit of froth. Completely unacceptable. I picked this Chinya model because it said it's minimum is 2.5oz. It foams milk way better that either of my Nespresso models. Nice tight bubbles, very much like the "micro-foam" that can be had with a proper milk steamer. I am actually able to use less than 2.5oz of milk and still get the correct volume of foam to fill my cup. Delicious! Unlike the Nespressos, which heat and foam and then turn off, this Chinya heats and foams for about one minute, then the heater turns off while the foamer continues for about 15 seconds longer. It really works. Also, the larger diameter of the interior makes it much easier to clean.

*Edit* Sadly this does not work at all for my Silk Vanilla Soy. It does heat it of course, but that's all.Overall, a convenient device and definitely works for regular milk. I wanted to rate 3 stars, but that didn't seem fair as it does work, so 4 it is.Initial Review:I of course could not wait to use this after watching a couple video reviews. I shopped around on Amazon for both price points and ease of use, and this was the winner.Upon getting it home, I promptly opened, rinsed it, and set it up.While I will ideally use this for vanilla soy for tea lattes, I have 1% milk on hand so it's what I used.Super simple. Fill to the appropriate like for either froth or just warmed milk. Press the button. Wait about 90 seconds.The froth was SO THICK I had to remove it with a spoon and it built up in the cup almost like whipped cream. 1% is probably not ideal for frothing just because it was so thick and didn't give that nice wet foam you can drink through, but that I even have this option at home is option.Definitely recommend and will probably write a follow-up review after trying soy and different fat percentage milks.

I bought this back in Nov 2024.I use it at least twice a week. All of a sudden it stopped working. It lasted almost 4 months… usually I’m not one to write reviews but I definitely do not recommend this. Not in this economy. It was good while it lasted.
