BODUM Electric Milk Frother

I bought this for my husband, he's at the academy and it's been a life saver for him. They dont have microwaves in their dorms, so this gets the job done perfectly. he's been using it for 6 months, and so far, he has no trouble at all. easy to clean, easy to set up.

I received the Bodum Bistro Electric Milk Frother. I have to admit, I was really excited to be able to test this. I am a huge coffee drinker- I make coffee at home and I also buy an iced coffee everyday. I always end up spending extra for the coffee shop to add cold foam to my coffee but not anymore! This frother is so easy to use and works just like it’s supposed to. You just plug it in, add the milk to whatever line you desire, turn it on and watch the froth being made from the clear lid, wait for the light on the front to turn off and spoon or pour the froth to your beverage. The froth it makes is so light and fluffy (perfect for my iced coffee). It’s also small enough to keep on my kitchen counter next to my coffeemaker-making it super accessible. When I want to clean the Bodum, I just rinse it with water after it’s cooled, add a drop of dish soap, add more water and turn it on. It basically cleans itself and then you just have to rinse it really good and wipe it clean. These are one of those devices you never knew you needed until you try it. You won’t be disappointed! The only thing I would have added to this machine is an audible sound when it was done frothing but overall an excellent product!

It's works pretty good. The only complaint I have is that the lid doesn't seal properly while foaming the milk. It keeps wanting to open on one side so I have to place my hand on top it. Otherwise it does the job. My grandson say once the milk is foam it tastes like marshmallows.

This Bodum Bistro electric milk frother works, but it lacks features such as temperature control and froth consistency. If you want a basic easy to use frother then this is perfect. It quickly heats and froths milk. It can also be used to just heat milk.

We've enjoyed the creamiest, steamed beverages using this frother. I love that it will froth even my protein shakes, coffee creamer, or milk fairly quickly. There's only one thing that bugs me and that's the constant burned milk at the bottom. It looks like it's supposed to be non-stick but almost every time there's burned milk at the bottom that is hard to clean.

I previously was using the Nespresso frother but didn't want to spend that much for a new frother. It does froth well, sometimes too much but I've learned to stop it before it finishes it cycle. It does shut off when done but unlike Nespresso, once you put it back into the base, it turns back on. The Nespresso just turns off as it one button and Bodum is a click to the left or right for on/off. If I wanted to warm the milk and not to make froth, it tends to burn the milk and this requires more attention when cleaning it. If you have big hand, you may appreciate being able to get into it unlike the narrow Nespresso. Overall, a decent product but need some extra attention.

It is ok for frothing milk, however, not so great at just heating milk. It always leaves slightly burnt milk residue on the bottom, which is difficult to clean.

The reason why I gave it 3 stars is that it requires cleaning after every use, the heater element is concentrated in one small area and it normally burns the milk. In my case I drink 3 cups of coffee and I had to wash the unit after every single use. Bodum, you can do better!!!

Yes, I was very disappointed. I thought the froth would be so nice and rich and creamy. Unfortunately, there were a few bubbles on top but most of it was still in a hot liquid form. I appreciate that it was hot for sure, but using half-and-half with a little bit of heavy cream, I thought would produce a much better froth. I'm returning it although it's very possible that it's not able to handle heavy cream. So it might be fine if you're using just straight milk. Also the cord at the bottom was off it's placement for the little notch, so it sat crooked on my counter.

So, it says it's a "milk frother" but it should really be called a "milk heater". There is NO way to turn off the heat. Basically, this thing froths your milk ONLY until the heat gets to a certain temp then shuts OFF. There is no way to froth more if the milk is still liquid because it senses the temp and won't turn back on! I tried it twice-- once with whole milk and once with heavy whipping cream. Both times I got a little bit of froth and mostly liquid. And, the milk was already scalding at the bottom. Forget about using this for iced coffee.
