Customer Reviews
Love it, except for the battery compartment
I've had several hand frothers (admitted coffee geek here). The two-battery ones (areolattes) died quickly, and other four-battery ones are more expensive. I even "built" a 4 battery frother out of a used Bonjour Turbo cuisine, and one of my leftover whisks from the broken areolattes. When that rig started falling apart, I looked at the various 4 battery options. Despite some of the other reviews, I went for this one, figuring I could always rig in an old frother whisk if I didn't like the frothing disk.
I am so happy with it, I just bought a spare.
The battery insertion is tricky, you have to figure out on your own which of the two batteries have the plus side (button) up, into the lid (where there are plastic ridges so that you'd "know" that the negative side wouldn't work).
I love the disk vs. the typical whisk. It stays much cleaner (I use it to mix other stuff), and I've had no problem frothing skim milk. You have to follow the directions and move the disk up and down in the milk to get the best results.
Design: 10 - Performance: 0
Does not froth milk even nearly as well as other units, even much cheaper ones. The "frothing disk" makes milk spin like crazy but creates very little foam. "Soft Touch" button very difficult to hold down for the required time to keep unit turned on. Position of the button on top requires holding it with a clenched fist which is very uncomfortable because of the force required to hold the button. I'm returning it.
Didn't Work
This frother did not work at all. Once the batteries were in, it put so much
pressure on the catch that I had to re-close it several times to get it to hold
and then - nothing - absolutely could not get it to turn at all. I had a similar
one - same brand - that was absolutely fabulous same design (disk) as this and
I loved it. The rack was neat and had it worked I think it would definetly have
been a favorite. But if you are thinking of buying one of these - maybe don't
try this one - I should have been able to at least turn the whip with my hand
and it wouldn't turn at all. Apparently just stuck. I sent mine back.
