Product Description

Color: White

With this new, sensational milk frother, the perfect foam comes at the push of a button. An absolute novelty, the Bodum Latte's foaming spiral not only rotates in both directions, but it also moves up and down, thus pumping more air into the milk and making the foam, to put it simply, even foamier. The Bodum Latte houses batteries in its rubber lid and a big button on top to get it going. It's designed for 0.2 l milk to be foamed at a time. For best results use ice cold non-fat or low-fat milk, froth it and then put the Latte into the microwave for hot foam. The Latte frother is also great for other light mixing such as protein drinks, sauces, salad dressings and more. The large BPA free plastic beaker is heat resistant and can be used with hot or cold liquids. Requires 4-AA batteries - not included. Available in black, orange, purple, red, green, and white.

2.0 out of 5 stars Plastic beaker, not glass; it works but clumsy to use, December 30, 2010

(What's this?)

If you want frothy milk, this little gadget does (sort of) work. However, unlike other frothers I've used, there is not a switch to turn the frother on. Instead, there is a button that must be firmly depressed the entire time you want to run it. A button requiring lighter pressure would have been easier to use if no switch was available.

Also, not sure if I got the final version or not, but on mine the beaker is not glass as advertised, but plastic, with a "7" inside the recycle triangle on the bottom. This is not good with warm milk.

If you are looking for a serious frother, buy the Nespresso 3192US Aeroccino Plus instead. I've used it for 3 years and it keeps on ticking making perfect hot or cold frothed (or just hot not-frothed) milk in a minute flat (or less). It also works well with 2% and whole milk. If you don't want to spend that much, just use your blender or get a little battery operated whisk (they run a couple bucks at any discount store) and remember to use skim or lowfat milk for the best froth when using one of these options. I would have to recommend passing on this flashy little guy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inferior to other frothers tested, December 26, 2010

This review is from: Bodum Latte Battery Operated Milk Frother and Light Mixer with Plastic Beaker, 0.2 L, 6-Ounce, Red (Kitchen)

(What's this?)

First, to anyone considering purchasing a gadget like this, I've noticed that most of the positive reviews are from folks who sound as if they've probably never owned (or needed) a frother before.

We've tested several frothing devices over years, including a teeny/tiny device found at a dollar store (yes, dollar store) - and they all worked much better than this one by Bodum.

This was such a disappointment. First, it takes FOUR AA batteries, which is excessive for a small appliance that has one, simple task. Then, to my dismay, my rechargeable batteries didn't have enough juice even to turn the device on - we had to buy new batteries just to test it out.

The frothing blade isn't ~really~ a frothing blade. It's a mini whisk. And it's very cool looking (goes up & down on a spindle), but it is very poorly designed. It does not froth well at all - it's both slow & ineffective.

I tried to froth whole cream & half/half, both of which were too heavy to produce hardly any results. It only increased in volume by about 15%. On regular milk, it takes a full 2-3 minutes to froth - it's much easier (and quicker) to froth by hand with a normal whisk! In fact, I believe a normal blender (with a normal blade) would do a better job.

But with my past frothing devices (magic bullet, thunderstick, frothing blade attachment on a hand mixer, etc), you can froth whole cream to make whipping cream, ice cream, sorbets, mousse, and a whole variety of desserts. This one doesn't do anything like that.

This is the most inferior frothing device I've ever seen. This one comes in dead last.

I have long wanted to make lattes, found in europe and expensive coffee houses in the U.S. I have finally found the way to do this at home. The Bodum Latte Maker makes a pretty good one. The trick is to heat the milk/cream in the microwave in a glass jug. Pour it into the Bodum container and start frothing to your heart's content. It takes a couple of times to get it REAL frothy - just experiment with it. Can't wait to show off with dinner guests. Acutally I am doing this myself every day.
