But as a few other reviews have alluded, it is fragile. except a brittle plastic disk which holds the screen and a second stainless steel disc onto the handle shaft. I wrote the company asking for a replacement part, which I told them I was happy to purchase. Most parts are stainless steel.
It's not like these folks have a stranglehold on the Milk frother market. I cannot believe folks keep buying crap that breaks easily. More junk for the landfill. I started using it again a few weeks ago. It froths milk fine. I noticed this when I first got it, and have been extra careful.My issue is with the plunger. The brittle plastic developed small cracks and finally broke last week, rendering the whole frother useless.
At least try another brand, which I am going to do. This was given to me several years ago as a gift. But not only for the thin glass. But all they did was send me a canned response telling me to buy a new one if it was out of its 30 day warranty.
You fill it up with milk, pump the handle up and down a few times, and you're good to go. the handheld battery-powered ones) that require less set-up and effort.
If you don't want to deal with broken glass and/or have kids/pets who may knock this over and hurt themselves, I'd suggest looking at another milk frother. The glass is extremely thin, and the metal lid and pump/frother make it pretty top heavy.
My only major complaint is that this breaks VERY easily. (I've gone through 3 of these).
This is a good frother in that it does what it's supposed to. However, there are frothers that are easier to use (i.e.
I have set this down a few times in the sink, only to have it topple over and shatter.
wish all milk froth suffering cappuccinoaholics be saved by this tool it worked so good and made a whole bottle of creamy not bubbly foam. I gave up until I give it a last try with the much cheaper Boujour milk frothing pump. its wonderful if all you need is a milk frother. did so much research and tried Bialetti's mukka express cappuccino maker, it did not work for me at all.
do know that you might wanna be more careful with it not to drop it( it's a light thin glass). and it is such a mystery. After I returned it I got the Hamilton beach cappuccino machine, the expresso was light and couldn't switch to any stronger mode. I wanted to create the starbucks foamy latte/cappuccino coffees for a long time already. the milk frothing was a mess, the steel part was soo small and short and splashes everywhere while it makes 10 sec lasting water down froth, finally it stoped working and I returned it again.
I'm soo happy I finially found the one.
(For sweetener, I sometimes stir a thimble-full of Splenda into the froth).I like my coffee straight up - dark and black - but I've enjoyed a froth toppping now and then.The inventors wisely include a long-handled sturdy plastic spoon. My favorite concoction is a before-bedtime (and apres-cross-country ski)concoction of hot cocoa, toppped with froth, sprinkled lightly with cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Highly recommended. How does this little gadget work. It's a mystery - about 1/3 cup of skim milk bursts into a sweet froth with 20 plunges. I understand that a metal spoon can chip or even crack the glass tube.
