Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Give life to a latte or concoct a classic cappuccino in seconds. This handy Schiuma turbo milk whip by Bodum features a flexible steel frothing wand with an efficient spiral tip to quickly transform ho-hum milk into a luscious lather. (For best results, Bodum recommends whipping milk when it's cold.) The ergonomic black plastic handle sits snugly in the palm for steady, assured blending, and a wide base supports the whip tidily on its end to keep countertops clean. With an easy on/off button, this lightweight tool is simple to operate and has so much potential--blend dressings, gravies, shakes, eggs, and more. To clean, rinse the wand by hand. The whip measures approximately 9 inches long and requires two AA batteries. Bodum's cheerful red logo appears near the base. --Kara Karll

Product Description

Now with a NEW & IMPROVED spiral frothing tip, the Bodum Battery Operated Turbo Frother froths milk quickly and easily, allowing you to make barista quality drinks at home. Simply insert the whip end into cold milk and then push the easy touch on/off button. The Bodum Turbo Frother whips into action, creating a nice froth that will last longer than froth made with a machine because you haven't introduced steam and water to froth the milk. Can be used on warm or cold milk, but it works better with cold milk. The Turbo Frother is also a great tool for mixing homemade salad dressing, protein shakes and other light mixing/blending. Lightweight and easy to use, the Turbo Frother has a black plastic case and steel frothing wand. Two AA batteries are required.

This review is from: Bodum Schiuma Battery-Operated Turbo Milk Frother, Black (Kitchen)

The first thing that caught my eyes was the design. It's sleek and affordable. I've used it almost every day for 1 month now, and it's preforming up to the standard. I use my own rechargeable batteries, which works like those expensive rechargeable frother. My advise, don't get those rechargeable one, they are very expensive. The down for this frother is that there is no instruction of how and where to put in the batteries. Well, you just have to pull out the top of it carefully and insert the batteries. It's that easy.

This review is from: Bodum Schiuma Battery-Operated Turbo Milk Frother, Black (Kitchen)

The Bodum Schiuma (whatever a Schiuma is) frother whips up hot or cold milk to pour over coffee, stirs in powders such as chocolate, soups, and protein mixes, and can even get a froth going in an easy margarita one containing equilla with a bottle of liquid mix). WHile Bodum recommends cold milk, I've found it works fine with warm milk too. YOu can ever get a bubbly top with coffee already mixed with milk, although you won;t get that meringue like consistency obtained through whipping the milk separately.

It's a simple appliance, running on two AA batteries, and costs less than the comparable "Bonjour" frother. The Bonjour comes with a stand, and I found this easy to knock over accidently. NO stand for the Bodum, so you'll have to keep it in a clean, airy place if you're making several cups of something. The Bodum has a slightly shorter stirring rod than the Bonjour, but this makes no difference on its functionality (it's how you use it). You can dip it deep inside a liquid for stirring, and/or submerge just the tip at a slight angle for frothing. Experimentation helps keep the froth in the cup and off the walls.

The Bodum Schiuma makes a great (and inexpensive) gift, that your giftees will appreciate, especially those unaware that there's such a device. If you don't already have one, consider buying rechargeable batteries and a battery recharger For close to three times the cost, Bonjour offers a self-recharging model. I use the frother several times a week; it's not just an "ooh" and "awww" mechanism; rather, it keeps on satisfying.

This is a quality product that really works. I heat up milk or half and half in the microwave, use the frother, pour in my espresso, and enjoy my coffee. The price is right and it's faster than using my espresso machine to steam the milk.
