Bistro 13.5oz Bistro Barista Electric Milk Frother, Automatic Temperature Control, Boil-Dry Protection, White

Get this one! Don’t get the others that aren’t dishwasher safe because no matter how careful you are when HAND cleaning, they go bad within months because the electrical components as too sensitive to moisture. Also, was always scorching my evaporated milk, so required a thouough cleaning. Get this one because 1) No buttons or electrical components on the vessle on this one. 2) The wire frother attachment is magnetic. 3) Does not scorch so it’s very easy to clean.

Lasted approx 2 months of once-daily use before totally dying. Also it constantly boiled over on the “hot foam” cycle despite the fact that i never filled it past the “min” line. An attractive and terrible product, would leave zero stars but Bezos wont let me.

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.

I've had this bodum milk frother for over 2 years now, and have used it once or twice every single day in that time. Obviously, I'm obsessed. I use it with Elmhurst Milked Almonds and it creates literal microfoam, which is amazing and exactly what I was looking for. (I have occasionally tried other alternative milks; none get quite the same effect as Elmhurst Milked Almonds.) The unit is easy to clean and small enough that it fits into the average cabinet. There have been a few instances where it would seem to stop working (a horrible "stuck" noise) -- what I found is that if I just pour the milk out, take the metal frother out and put it back in ensuring it's properly placed, and let it do a cycle with water, it all is better and runs like new afterwards. This has happened maybe 3-4 times per year for the last two years? Now having it for over two years with daily use, I am noticing that the motor seems to not be quite as strong as it once was -- and I have to do less milk in it than I normally did. Which, is actually more user error than anything else, because I always put waayyyyyyy more than the "max" line and now I just have to keep it under/at the max line lol. Honestly I highly recommend, I take it with me everywhere, and I'm absolutely obsessed with the foam it creates. (I just remembered that it has different types of cycles -- I only ever use the first one which I think is like the "latte" one.)

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.

Loved this frothier. I use the past tense because it blended my matcha latte and my kid’s hot chocolate perfectly. It was a luxury purchase because we only used it as when we wanted to indulge, about a maximum of 3-4x monthly (some months even less). Then 18months later it broke. The small piece fell off and now the entire machine is useless. I confirmed with the company. They asked for proof of purchase and my address, which I hoped meant they would send me a replacement, even just the cup replacement without the rubber sleeve, would have been greatly appreciated, but I have not received a response since. So while I would love to praise Bodum’s milk frothier as well as their customer svc, I don’t think you should waste your money on something that only lasts 18months with minimal usage. If customer service contacts me again and a resolution is reached beyond just throwing out their product, I will update. After weeks of back and forth and waiting for a resolution, I finally received the correct replacement. The second replacement is the exact of the broken one so I am finally able to enjoy my matcha lattes. (The first replacement was a different, smaller, and less convenient model.) All in all the product works great, the detachable cup makes it easy to wash and I love the option of being able to take the frother mechanism off, if you prefer a less frothed drink. Should any go wrong with the product, it is nice to know that customer service is responsive, albeit it may take some patience for a complete response.

I use this frother every day, sometimes multiple times a day. It's powerful, does a great job frothing milk, takes up very little space on my counter, and is easy to clean. The first one I bought was defective, but Amazon quickly sent a replacement, which has served me well for a year and half. So far I have only used it to heat & froth milk. I cannot attest to the other functions, nor it's long term durability.

The unit operates like many other frothers. Add liquid, turn on, wait, pour liquid/froth into container. This frother however does not reset it self. Once you toggle the switch on, that’s it, it stays operational. Yes, the unit stops heating/frothing once it reaches maximum temperature, however once it cools it will repeat the cycle and heat to maximum temperature again, and again, and again. You must toggle the unit off. Sure, I get it, flip the switch to off. Just saying this functionality differs from the many frothers that reset automatically once the process is complete. This unit is deceiving because when you start the process and toggle the unit on, the toggle lights up, turns red. Once the cycle is complete, the light goes out, yet the toggle remains in the on position. This means if you return the unit to its base, once it cools it will cycle again, even without any contents. This heating cycle continues until it is toggle off, yes it will run for hours.

Works as described.
