5.0 out of 5 stars
Froth away!, March 16, 2007
This review is from: Aerolatte Original Steam-Free Milk Frother with Stand (Kitchen)
Nowadays there is a bunch of these critters on the market, but I had to do quite a search a few years ago when I was looking for a low-budget way to make my coffee taste as good as the high-priced yuppie places, and didn't feel I could spring for a three-hundred dollar machine. Sho 'nuff, I got one of these Aerolattes from an online department store. It does just the trick, whether on my freshly-brewed freshly-roasted freshly-ground coffee with at least half hot 1% milk, or on hot chocolate made from powder which is impossible to blend by spoon. Yup, I like it.
I was skeptical whether a little gizmo costing fifteen or twenty dollars could really whip my coffee up the way I wanted, but it does. It is important to wait until you've got the business end in the liquid before you start the thing, unless you like to wear your coffee. The directions say to keep the whirrer just under the surface of the liquid, and I've found that does work. And the batteries seem to last a long time. When it's time for new ones, the whip starts to wobble.

She's frothing everything, please send help!, December 24, 2007
This review is from: Aerolatte Original Steam-Free Milk Frother with Stand (Kitchen)
Help I bought this for my girlfriend and now she's frothing EVERYTHING and singing praises to the frother! The cats are hiding under the bed because every 5 minutes there's the distinctive whirl of the frother going.
She does love it, though. Just beware: things you never thought frothed will be frothed. Some will turn out well, others won't (steaks, for instance).

2.0 out of 5 stars
Stopped working after two months, June 6, 2010
This review is from: Aerolatte Original Steam-Free Milk Frother with Stand (Kitchen)
This was great for two months, and then it stopped working. I'll probably replace it with a manual frother (looks like Bodum has a pretty nice one).
Were it still working, I would give it four stars. Here's why:
- The stand it comes with is convenient and sleek, but slightly awkward to use -- you have to put the frother in from the top, and the half-open design means that the tips of the wires scratch the body of the frother if you fumble.
- It sometimes turns on in the off position when you apply pressure against the switch, which can be surprising/splatter milk everywhere/etc until you get used to it.
- Other than that, it looks good and froths cold milk to triple its volume in less than five seconds.
