I purchased the DÜRKOP Latte-Whip while in Germany earlier this month. I saw the item being demonstrated in a kitchen shop and fell in love with the piece. The price in Germany was substantially higher than the price offered by amazon.com.

Some of the things we've found great about this product, compared to "me too" items found in this country are: Latte-Whip is super-lightweight and versatile. It's an innovative product designed to froth milk, coffee and so much more. This small hand held battery operated blender makes authentic cappuccino, latte, three layer coffee, iced coffee, hot and cold chocolate and more. The package contained full instructions and recipes.

The unit has a FLEXIBLE spiral stainless steel blender rod and head and strong motor that it can foam milk in a few seconds and is more effective than other machines or gadgets including steam based espresso machines costing hundreds of dollars! More versatile than units that have a "fixed" rod. In just a few seconds the rich creamy foamed milk is high, substantial and thick. Optimum results can even be obtained using low fat milk.

We also found cleanup to be a snap...Easy to clean-simply run Latte-Whip under the water faucet for instant cleaning. It's also very safe to use-no blades or heating coils.

I suggest that you buy several of these units. Keep a couple at home and give unit as gifts...everyone who has seen mine also wants one. Happy frothing and mixing!

I like breve, which uses frothed half & half. Anyone with a conventional expresso machine knows how tricky it is to get a good froth with half & half. This toy makes it a breeze. 2oz half & half microwaved for 30 seconds will foam up 8-10 oz of thick creamy froth that doesn't separate in the pitcher or go flat in your cup. Takes only about 20 seconds to master the technique.

Unlike, $tarbucks, you never have to choose between foam and liquid. You have a true rich froth like a master italian barista would make. If you are a cappucino, macchiato, or breve lover, take it from this coffee fiend and owner of a top-of-the-line espresso machine, this is the best [$] you could possibly spend.

enjoy!

I haven't stopped using it since the day I got it!
This little tool really does do remarkable stuff. With this you don't need an expensive cappucino maker. This little guy does all the work for you. It really does froth,thick and foamy, within seconds. I've had others before that have only "stirred" what's in the cup. This is the first one that actually makes foam. I would highly recommend this for every kitchen.

I tried this little gadget mostly out of curiosity. Not only does it work well (I use it to froth milk for lattes, but I'm sure there are many other applications), it is very easy to clean and runs a long time on common batteries. This is a great idea for a gift.

My children bought me this for my birthday last year. We love it! It is the best for mixing chocolate milk, powder or liquid, mixes up nice with no sedament on the bottom of the glass. I use it for coffee, froth up the warm milk first and add the coffee, yum! The one thing it won't mix are eggs. They are too thick. Otherwise, we use this about 5 times a week. A wonderful little gadget for the kitchen.

I just love this little gadget, heat up your milk and then use the whip to froth it, basically done in 10 seconds.
So easy to clean and use... A must have for all you latte/capuccino lovers.

Boy, I was really impressed with how fast this little thing whipps the milk, In a matter of seconds I can have the milk frothed - and that without the steam or espresso machine. Very Cool and Useful tool. I strongly recommend it - should be in every kitchen. And it's so easy to wash, just rinse in the sink for a second and it's good to go. I love it!!!

I have never taken the time to actually write a review for a purchase, although I have made many very nice ones from Amazon. This little gizmo, though, takes the cake. I have had more fun whipping up delicious lattes for myself in the last three days than you can imagine. And with a good blend of coffee and good milk, they are better than any you'll buy. It is very (too ! lol) easy to use. I have a kitchen full of lots of equipment, but this is without a doubt the best $20 I have ever spent.

I received a chrome milk frother that was made in the Far East. The item worked fairly and kept losing power, in spite of changing batteries constantly. The unit also had a fixed mixing rod, which did not give or have any flexibility. Finally tossed it out.

Then I saw this unit at AMAZON.COM and purchased one. It's amazing. The flexible arm or stainless steel rod does much better than the former one. It allows the frother to get all sides of the glass when you are mixing, including the bottom.

We enjoy using this for slimfast and also creating chocolate milk. The flexible arm assists in thoroughly mixing all of the powder in the container, especially the bottom edges, where the other unit was not successful.

We also enjoy using the Latte-Whip to create a wonderful, frothy foam to put on cappuccinos and lattes that we serve after dinner. Even though we have an expensive and powerful espresso machine, this little guy still froths the milk wonderfully and it makes a killer presentation.

I would recommend this item for self-purchase and most certainly for a gift to persons of all ages.

This unit is made in Israel and not the Far East.

Impressed with this. I read the great reviews on amazon & laughed at them thinking what such raving reviews for this little a product.
Yes, it is good. Only one issue though- wish it came with a cap for the frothing string.
