I got this about a year ago, and loved it. We had the best coffee with this frothe. It was low-tech...you do not need electricity or battery to operate it.

What is the downside? While washing, we lost the screw that hold the frothe together...and since then I have been hunting around trying to find a replacement. I have made several enquiries and it turns out that there is no replacement for this. So, my $20 literally went down the drain with that lost nut.

If you are a careful user, you might consider buying it. I thought I was a careful user too...

Makes foamy milk much better than my espresso machine. Works like a charm. A friend who has one agrees, though she points out that the glass is a bit on the thin side and can break easily if you're not careful. The first week I got it I kept making foam and showing it to friends and family. They found this tiresome, but capuccino lovers will understand.

I got it for making foam for my coffee when I'm out camping without my expresso machine. It's so simple, I can't see why it costs so much, but WOW it makes perfectly creamy milk foam in about 5 seconds. If you want warm foam, you can either heat the milk before you foam it, or microwave the foam after you make it. Either way it makes better foam than my expresso machine's steam foamer.

I recieved this for Christmas and I use my mainly to make light frothy shakes. I add a little sweetner and vanilla extract then top with cinnamon. It makes a delicious low calorie treat. I am a little confused b the previous review. My frother does not have a screw or nut to hold it together. Rather the whole bottom piece screws on, but if it is not placed right -is upside down-then it won't fit back together. Mine did come with a diagram showing how the pieces fit together if you take it apart. I would also suggest to anyone should they be missing a screw-to take their parts to Home Depot or Lowe's or a similiar place and I am sure they could help find the right size replacement part. I love my little gadget and should mine break would quickly order another!

Unlike the more difficult to clean and fussy frother attached to our espresso machine, this one is very simple to use and easy to clean - we just rinse it after use and let it dry. It enables you to quickly make froth for cocoa or other beverages without having to mess with the espresso machine, and it produces superior froth, too. We have a hot water tap installed at our sink, so our preferred method is to put some dry milk powder in the unit, fill it to the line with hot water, and pump - just 4 or 5 pumps produces a cloud of froth. We also own BonJour Monet coffee presses in two sizes and recommend them highly. Currently, we are using the frother with an Alessi stove-top espresso pot and have given our espresso machine away.

This is the most convenient little item if you are a coffee and cappuccino drinker at home. I used to froth the milk and always had problems with foaming correctly.

Pour milk in to the the line, 45 seconds in the microwave and pump the frothing screen a few times. Remove the screen and allow the froth to sit a few moments before pouring over the cappuccino and it will be stiffer for topping off your beverage.

Clean up is fast, but keep an extra glass in the cupboard as they are easy to break if you are not very careful.

Works extremely well. Use cold low-fat or skim milk for best results. I prefer Skinny Cow Fat Free milk (tastes like whole). After 20-30 pumps the froth fills the beaker. Remove the metal hardware and heat the glass beaker in the microwave (2 times for 20 seconds to keep froth from overflowing). This warms the froth enough. I prefer using a tablespoon to scoop out the froth rather than the plastic spoon they provide.

Since my husband and I have started using the BonJour milk frother (almost two years now) we are spoiled, period. Easy to use, it works best with 1% fat milk - but what a difference it makes to that morning cup of coffee (or hot chocolate). Fill with milk to the line on the beaker, insert the plunger - 20 or so plunges and voila! Light and frothy milk. The plunger and base are durable. The only downside is that one must be mindful of the glass beaker. Clean it right after use, and put it safely out of reach. We've had to replace our beaker twice because it's come up against dishes in the sink, etc. And, it's no fun waiting for a replacement.

I own one of these for my home and cottage. I love "frappes", the Greek ice coffee drink with froth. Just put one tablespoon of original Nescafe in the glass carafe. Add crushed ice and water. Then, insert froth maker and "pump" about 20 times. Pour over more crushed ice for a frothy iced coffee drink without any milk. Add sugar or drink "sketo". Enjoy!

I am a novice coffee drinker and was looking for a way imitate Starbucks' lattes. This milk frother makes excellent foam, which tastes even better knowing I don't need a $1,300 espresso machine to do the same trick. I've been using 1% milk and a microwave to heat it before frothing.
