Product Description

The world of coffee would be half as exciting if there was not that delicious layer of milk foam sitting on top of it! From lattes to cappuccinos, the Chambord Milk Frother brings any coffee to its perfection. Simply add cold non-fat milk to the fill line before setting the lid in place. Then pull and push the plunger until you see your milk turn to a frothy foam. The volume of milk froth will approximately double. Allow the froth to sit for a minute and thicken up. If you would like hot froth, just remove the lid/plunger unit and put the carafe with frothed milk in the microwave on high for 20 seconds. Once you are ready, use a spoon to scoop out the frothy foam and top off your favorite coffee drink. The glass beaker is made of durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass. With the Bodum Chambord Frother and a Bodum Coffee Press you can be your own barista at home! Dishwasher safe.

2.0 out of 5 stars too hot to handle, September 16, 2007

This product froths milk very nicely and if you like extra frothy milk it is an excellent product. And on this basis alone easily worth five (5) stars. Clean-up and maintenance is a snap as the bottom portion of the frother is easily disassembled and cleaned. I purchased this as a replacement to the previous generation of Bodum Frothers and have found the following challenges while using this product:
a) while frothing the pour spout isn't properly covered by the cap and on occasion foamy milk spills onto the kitchen counter
b) the meshing seems better suited for a French press, which means separating the foam for a pretty cup display is a bit of a challenge (hint, don't use slotted portion of the cap, just pull the entire plunger mechanism out and use a spoon to separate the foam)
c) HOT WHILE HANDLING: admittedly I like my milk as close to burnt without burning, so this sucker is very hot when coming out of the microwave and this is my primary complaint. The previous version had a nice handle connected to the glass easy for gripping the smoking hot vessel while frothing milk. I still have not found a tolerable solution to this.

Good product and does what it says it will do. But if you like really hot milk for frothing you will need to find a solution for holding the hot glass in hand. Otherwise, a really good product.

4.0 out of 5 stars glass is very fragile, October 21, 2007

Ed Sejud (Boulder, Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bodum Chambord 5-Ounce Milk Frother (Kitchen)

The frother works extremely well, however the glass of the frother is very thin and brittle and will crack and break with the slightest impact. I have broken two already while washing dishes. There is NO REPLACEMENT glass container available, so if you break it, you spend another $20.00 to buy a replacement. Bonjour makes a frother also, and they sell a replacement glass container for about $10.00. I guess I'm clumsy, so I'm going to buy a Bonjour next time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bodum Chambord 5oz Milk Frother, June 1, 2008

This little Bodum manual frother works better than any of the battery powered "wand" frothers I've tried, and nearly as well as a steam frother. Using a microwave oven, you can warm the milk in less than a minute right in the Bodum flask. Then about ten seconds of easy pumping fills the flask to overflowing with thick froth that stays fluffy in your mug. But handle the Bodum flask with care, because the glass breaks easily. I broke my first flask after about three months. But the price is so reasonable, I didn't hesitate to order a replacement.
