It works as it should and is easy to clean.
works well and v easy to clean, heating up takes a bit longer than my previous milk frother but this one much easier to clea
Great very pleased with results makes a lovely mug of cappuccino.
I have previously had a non stick frother that had started to be a pain to clean, the milk would catch on the bottom, it was time for a new one. I purchased this solely because it was stainless steel.
It is so easy to clean heat the milk and them rinse, so far so burnt milk and no need to scrub, and even if I had to its stainless steel so I do not have to worry about the non stick part coming off.
It does froth better with full fat milk fresh from the fridge, but this is to be expected its the fat in the milf that allows froth to be created (have you ever tried to whip single cream?!). The froth that it creates is thick and dense, just the type that you need to pop on your coffee. If you use semi skimmed then you only get a little froth that just covers the top of your coffee but you still get a lovely amount of warm milk for a latte effect rather than a cappuccino. For some reason you get an even better froth if you use UHT milk.
I don’t normally go for branded items and often just go by reviews, however I use this brand of coffee (you can also register this machine) and the fact that it was stainless steel (which turns out is definitely a big thing for me) but I dont think that you can go wrong with this machine.
This is an amazing milk frother. It heats up the milk as well while frothing or you have an option of frothing without heating. Tgere are two different frothing attachments provided as well. With several different settings I am absolutely in love with this little machine. Definitely recommend it.
I’ve used other milk frothers and all of them had drawbacks, but this is ideal. The cup is removable which makes it easy to clean, whereas others without a removable cup risk water damage to the electronics when cleaning (this has happened with a previous frother). It froths the milk quickly and to a good consistency. Would thoroughly recommend.
Perfect for me, giving a heated, slightly frothy milk for adding to my instant coffee – a lovely luxury feel to my coffee drinks. Only heats enough for one cup but quite quick.
As someone, who previous owned a Breville, I think the little Lavazza is a good value for the money.
Pro:
1. easy to clean with a stainless steel container and no need to worry about damaging the coating
2. good quality of milk foam with “whole milk”
3. It’s hot enough to make good hot chocolates 😛
Con:
1. The main problem is the size. It’s only large enough for one cup or sometime a bit less.
2. It’s struggle with semi-milk but you can try to wait a bit to lower the temperature then re-frother it again. It will help a bit but not as good as the whole milk.
3. the bottom of the product is not sealed or waterproof. Better to keep it away from the basin.
Conclusion after one month of usage: I think, at that price arrange, I am happy to have it as the replacement for my Breville even though sometimes I have to frother twice for making another cup. It’s quick enough and good enough for the trouble. Highly recommend it!
Great machine, works best with full cream milk. Easy to use and seconds to clean. For me the best item is the stainless jug, many owners of frothers with non stick linings report issues with it coming off. Of course it’s in your milk and you’re drinking it.
Surely can’t be good for you?
After some trial and error I managed to get a thick creamy froth as I hope picture shows.
My first attempt using the same BOB milk was dismal.
This time I did a cold whisk first by holding the button in for longer. I then pressed the button quickly once for the hot froth/heating cycle.
On both occasions I used the twirly looking whisk thingy.
120ml of milk used.
Thank goodness for that.
The milk doesn’t get hot. Just a bit. Or probably I am doing something wrong. If someone could help me buy teach me how to take part of the product I would really appreciate that! Thanks.
Very happy with this frother. I originally looked for the cheaper model but since it was unavailable I bought this one instead and don’t regret my purchase. The blending tool (a plastic ring which stays in place using magnets) mixes hot chocolate, coffee, matcha latte etc. very well and the milk froth function works brilliantly (it’s like drinking clouds). I love the retro look, it is well designed and washes easily. No longer feel the need to go to a coffee shop!
The thing I like most is how easy it is to clean. I had another but it was a nightmare to clean – no room to even get into it but this basically just needs a quick rinse after using it. Added to that, it heats/froths milk perfectly
Straight up, I can confirm that the jug part and lid can go in the dishwasher. It’s in the instructions, but not really in the product description above. This is a brilliant bit of kit, so much easier to clean than previous devices, mostly because the milk never sticks, not ever, never! We use full fat 4% milk. Looks really smart too.
Takes slightly longer than previous devices, but not really a big deal, given how little time you spend cleaning it!
I love this milk frothier. It blends and heats up the milk to the perfect temperature. I use this to mix a turmeric drink with the milk. It blends perfectly. Also cleans well too.
Best milk frothed by far. Heats milk in couple of minutes and lovely frothy creamy.
Very easy to keep clean as the chrome milk jug lifts out.
The frother worked really well, it has a gadget clipped to the lid, 2 parts, leave both parts connected and drop over the inner metal plug for hot milk with a “bit of foam” or prise out the inner part and use that by itself for LOTS of foam…. one touch usage and really easy to clean under the tap or in the dishwasher. Really simple and easy to use.
Purchased to make foamy hot chocolate. Does the job with no fuss and us very easy to clean up afterwards.
Good volume of foam using full fat and semi skimmed milk.
GREAT PRODUCT. Froths the milk as good as any cafe! Great for Cappuchino coffees or for a hot chocolate. Much better than my previous expensive coffee machine ever did.
First off-the reviews that say this doesn’t foam – you have to remove the smooth disc!! It has two modes, just heat, or heat and foam, and you have to just remove the smooth disc which comes pre attached and if you don’t read the instructions it’s easy to miss!! Easy to rinse off or dishwasher, takes about 2 mins to heat a cup of milk so similar to microwave but you get foam too. Can also use for hot choc aka hotel chocolat velvetiser.
Very quiet machine during operation and with the removable stainless steel jug it is extremely easy to clean. It also means that no water goes near the unit which could affect the electrics. It can make up to two cappuccino coffees and plenty of froth. The magnetic frother that attaches to Inside of the jug is also an excellent idea as it means there are no holes in the jug itself to cause problems. Would highly recommend this product.
Bought this to accompany a Nespresso machine, as liked the the design of the device, especially with the handle to help pouring. Machine creates perfect latte and cappucino milk every time, and is incredibly easy to use – with only one button to press. You don’t need to think about things, all you need to do is pop the metallic device in, pour the milk, press the button and wait until you get things.
Lavazza brand and simplicty of the frother eventually led me to get a Lavazza capsule machine too!
It’s pricey but so worth the extra few bob. Have always hated cleaning frothers but so easy with this as you can put straight in the dishwasher. Also, milk frothing is perfect every time. Highly recommend!
Absolutely love this machine. Elegant design and compact so it doesn’t take up much space on the worktop. Heats and froths milk perfectly (when setting up for the first time make sure you’ve separated the 2 cog type attachments and fitted the right one for frothing). Whole milk works best but I’ve also tried semi-skimmed and it worked.
Best feature compared to other milk frothers is how easy the jug is to clean. Just rinse under the tap after use and you’ll have no issues.
Been using this everyday for a month to enjoy lattes, no issues, highly recommended.
I had been waiting to decide which milk frother would be most suitable, after some research this one doesn’t use any toxic non stick coatings as seen with most Teflon coated frothers.
Initially with using almond milk I attempted making a matcha, it wasn’t frothy at all.
Then using both regular semi skimmed milk and also batista plant milks, I got a very nicely frothy matcha/hit chocolate.
You have two attachments that go into the middle of the frother. One is tye smooth one that combines to the cog like attachment, the smooth one is to blend, the cog one is to help froth. The attachment spins with magnetism.
It is so easy to use and to clean, just rinse out and leave to drain. It just does what it promises and was well worth purchasing.
This is my second one of these. First one kept stopping from “overheat”
Makes enough for one Latte/Cappuccino. Nice froth and ready to drink temperature. Must use knotched widget and whole milk for best results.
Great bit of equipment. Not the cheapest but does a great job. Really like the magnetic operation which means the jug is solid stainless steel and easy to clean. Also dishwasher friendly.
This is the best frother we have had so far. Better than Jura. We use lactose free milk, regular milk and oat milk in this — both, hot or cold — and the froth is always nice and light and just perfect. Easy to clean.
Not at all sure I needed this when presented as a birthday pressie. Now it’s indispensable.
Use this every day either with aeropress coffee maker or for hot chocolate or a milky instant coffee.
Works very well, simple to operate and easy to clean. Good froth even with skimmed milk.
Can froth and not heat or froth/ mix with heat turning off once at temperature.
Recommended device
Extremely good!! Stainless steel – I hate non-stick coating as bad ones may be toxic. Easy to use thick foam or not depends on what types of milk if you don’t know. Whole milk cause more foam, semi skimmed less. Hot or cold. One of the best buys eve
Like many other people commented here, I was very disappointed with this milk frother at first. I was using fresh semi skimmed milk, so I changed to whole, but I couldn’t see any improvement really. So I started using long life semi skimmed milk, the tetra brick one, and I’m very pleased with the outcome. The foam gets even better if you do it cold first and then hot, or the other way around. I’m talking about the maximum amount of milk for foaming. If you do less you always get better results.
Very useful and easy to clean. Maybe it could be a little Warmer.
This is a good product. Easy to clean and quite fast. Make sure the four rubber feet are firmly in place as one fell out of ours. Fortunately I found it and put it back. The milk is hot but not piping hot. But it is way way better than the built in frothers that come with a Nespresso machines. It is a little lighter than I expected. Beeps when ready which is cool when you are multi-tasking in the kitchen in the morning!
I’ve owned several frothers and this one may not produce the frothiest milk, it may be a little noisy but it is hands-down the best. Why? Its two-piece design means that the milk is frothed in a stainless steel jug that can be totally immersed in hot water to clean it (or even put in the dishwasher). Previous ‘non-stick’ one-piece frothers have always eventually developed a disgusting film of milk fat that couldn’t be removed and left a taint in the milk. This one, just rinse / wash after use and it’s perfect.
Update – Ensure your milk has a high fat content, test a range of milks until you find one you’re happy with. Oatly’s barista edition works a treat giving the hot frothy goodness sought after.
If I wanted hot milk I’d use a pot, if I wanted cold froth I’d use a handheld electric whisk. I bought this to do provide hot frothy milk, unfortunately it can only provide cold froth or hot milk, not the hot frothy number I was expecting. Leaving this device failing to fulfill its potential. Will be returning.
Would love it if it could get milk a tiny bit hotter, but still a great product, super easy to use and clean.
+
good quality product, quiet, sturdy and good looking…makes nice froth, but you have to swirl the milk at the end to get the right consistency…very easy to clean, compared to my Nespresso frother
–
Only really makes enough froth for one normal sized cup or mug…difficult to get the ‘crowns’ separated…it arrived with them together and took me 30 minutes to part them….also the ‘notched crown’, when using it for the froth, is difficult to get out of the milk container to clean…maybe as it’s plastic I should leave it in there!
we use semi skimmed milk and it froths great for coffee or hot chocolate, would froth more if a full fat milk used.takes about 21/2 mins for full mug of really hot milk then best of all pop the mug in the dishwasher.thoroughly recommend.
Works well and I’m glad I purchased separately from Lavazza coffee machine
Brilliant, removable jug makes for easy cleaning, works very well. Only gave 3 stars for blend as it does not blend. Amazon stop putting irrelevant questions in review requests
The product is extremely easy to use. Just put in milk up to the marked line, shut the lid and press the button. 20 seconds later, you have frothy milk! We drink skimmed milk and we’re worried it wouldn’t work for this but actually it was far more frothy with the skimmed than when we tried with sem-skimmed. It can make enough for two cups at a time, unless you like a lot of froth, in which case it’s enough for one. But it’s so quick that it doesn’t matter if you have to do them separately. Washing the jug and lid is easy, takes a few seconds.
Since I purchased this milk frother, I cannnot have my coffee without adding the frothed milk, It makes such a difference. The coffee tastes amazing and it also makes an excellent cappuccino!
I was sceptic about it, as I read some of the reviews which were not great but, I decided to buy it and try it.
It does what it says it does! The milk becomes a creamy, fluffy and thick foam and it can be cold or hot. It is incredibly fast and easy to use as well as easy to clean. Excellent product. I am so pleased with it and glad I decided to go for it despite the bad reviews.
I was a little dubious about this after reading some of the reviews, but have to say I’m very pleased with this milk frother.
I have a Nespresso Vertuo machine, and the coffee was lukewarm at best, and we had to give it 10 seconds in the microwave. However, with a shot of milk from this Frother, the temperature is much hotter and the extra froth is very indulgent. I use semi skimmed milk with the corrugated disc and have no problems getting a nice rich froth. It is also very easy to clean which is an added bonus.
I’ve had a few well known branded coffee frothers and they all fail in one thing: milk sticks and burns on the non-stick interior. Well this Lavazza Frother stops that happening. The inside is all stainless steel and so no more scorched milk! I find it works perfectly with Lactofree milk and regular semi-skimmed. The froth is a cross between the thickness of a latte and a capuccino, but you can get a full froth with some tweeks to the process. It is marginally bigger than the frother I had before, but because it is black it fades into the counter space, so seems the same size. It is a well designed product that works so very well. Top marks!
Really good at its job. Thanks to the induction heating, milk doesn’t burn at the bottom and its a piece of cake to clean. Milk temperature could be higher thought, but it’s a small price to pay for the hassle free experience. The negative reviews claiming that the amount and stability of their froth wasn’t good enough cannot be blamed on the device. It works brilliantly, they may be using the wrong milk, the milk may not be cold enough, or they could have forgot to separate the mixing ring from its smooth cap prior to using it.
I love this frother as it’s so easy to use and more importantly easy to clean! I use it mainly to make hot chocolate and it does so very effectively although for my liking it could do with being a bit hotter.
Excellent milk frothier. I was never that bothered about frothy hot milk for my coffee and bought this primarily for hot chocolate. I’ve quickly found it addictive, however, and how use it twice a day for my coffee! So quick and easy to use and also to clean. Don’t quite understand why some of the bad reviews – it all comes down to the milk you use really. I’ve found the absolute top frothiest milk is Waitrose essentials full fat – almost double in size to some more expensive milks.
Excellent froth, nice temperature, so easy to clean. It’s the best frother I’ve found, can’t fault it.
Having had a Dualit frother before, I was disappointed in this (as it wouldn’t froth the milk) – nearly returned it – HOWEVER once I discovered the froth you get with skimmed milk, I was a convert. Great product, good price and best of all, easy to clean. Shove it in the dishwasher and it comes out like new every time.
Update: 2 Feb – after less than a year (with what I’d reckon is moderate use – maybe once a day max) it’s just blown up. Literally – overheated, burnt the milk, and then fell apart.
I love these frothers. Be careful not to lose the rings – they are magnetic and can easily get lost in the dishwasher or cupboards. I wash mine by hand to keep them safe as they are almost impossible to replace, but it can all go in the dishwasher!! skimmed milk is the best for froth
With full cream milk, it works as it should. Semi-skimmed is heated but doesn’t produce much foam. I don’t use or intended to use any milk substitutes so I don’t know what they would work like.
Had one or two frothers but this one is so easy to clean and works very well.
I had the standard frother and it did work beautifully but this one is so much easier to clean and the spout makes all the difference; no more milk dripping down the side. Also you only remove the part that you froth mill on unlike it’s cousin that I had to wash the whole part.
Well impressed so far, have used this to froth milk and make hot chocolate, good results with both, really easy to use, looks good and washes up easily.
Bought as a gift and has become the best used appliance in the kitchen. Used for coffees and delicious hot chocolate.
I am using it for a couple of months and I am very satisfied from it. It makes thick and density milk foam. Great for lattes and cappuccinos.
Great for lattes. Only thing: I like my coffee pretty hot and this does not deliver a really hot coffee. Simple answer to that- stick it in the microwave for 25 seconds and then it’s perfect.
Very easy to use easy to clean and the blend is good when making hot chocolate
If you like coca or a nice Starbucks, buy this milk frothier. Milk changes molecularly above 70 degrees C and starts to taste bad. I love my freshly ground coffee, but I hate burnt, eggy milk.this solved my problem. Perfect milk every time and so easy to clean.
To get the best froth you must use full fat milk otherwise the machine just heats the milk with very little froth. Good product would recommend.
Excellent product. Easy to use and especially easy to clean.
My son has this and made me coffee when i visited I liked it so much i had to get one love i
Does what I want it to do!! Froths & warms milk perfectly!
Easy to clean, very practical.
Use semi or full cream milk for best results, skimmed nowhere near as good for keeping a good froth. Also, this is the first frothervI have used that works just as well with UHT milk.
We bought this because the steam wand on our built in bean to cup broke. This produces a dense, fluffy foam that is just a delight. I use fully skimmed milk which triples in size with this – slightly less good result with semi skimmed. Operation is simple & quiet and it’s easy to clean. I’ve tried the Dualit one and much prefer this. Very happy indeed with this, and the results are far better than a built in Miele at many multiples of the price.
Works well with UHT Milk. Pleasure to use during the lockdown. We’ve probably saved a fortune on coffee… probably will not buy as many coffees from the known retailers once lockdown is over. Worth the little extra money.
Excellent milk frother – easy to use and the it is dishwasher safe – naturally with the exception of the electrical base. There is a small removable disc inside the jug that whisks the milk. Unfortunately I mislaid mine and therefore contacted Lavazza direct. My email was answered within a short time and a replacement whisk sent free of charge. Cannot ask for more than that!
Been using this for the last 2 years, replaced with this order! Very pleased..
My cousin bought me one as a gift an oh my goodness it is brilliant. I then bought this one for a friend and so it goes on Makes my coffee taste brilliant.
Absolutely delighted with it. Feels like treating myself to a cafe quality coffee every time. Tried quite a few differnt soya, almond, hemp and other plant based milk, most which didn’t work very well. Any Barista milk are guaranteed to perform best while many(alpro, most supermarket own ones, haven’t tried any cows milk) won’t. So keep that in mind. Easy to clean, a brilliant wee machine.
Very happy with this product! I use it to make hot chocolate- makes a perfect amount and froths the milk perfectly. Could heat the milk to be slightly hotter because I like my hot chocolate very warm but really can’t complain as it is easy to use and perfect for my needs. Love that it has a removable cup which makes it easy to wash! Highly recommend!
Was a gift for someone who is thrilled with it.
Excellent little machine and a must have for every kitchen …
Great frother, gives me a perfect latte every time. I also like the fact that you can do other things with it like hot chocolate. One of the best things about this is how easy to clean it is. Spend a little more and a well known branded frother like this.
Great product, Heats and froths milk. Maybe needs clearer instructions re the frother tools
This milk frothed is great. The first thing that’s fab about it is that the jug where the milk goes is removable. As this meanings you can wash it properly in water it also means you can use it for making hot chocolate without worrying about making a mess.
It’s easy to use with just a couple of buttons and it froths and warms milk well.
The blending function warms and blends hot chocolate to a drinkable but not hot temperature. I would personally like it a little hotter but it’s actually perfect for the kids.
It comes with two little rings, one for frothing, one blending which are magnetic and were stuck together when I opened the box leading me to panic that a part was missing! It wasn’t so don’t make that mistake and get all flustered like I did!
Overall an excellent little gadget. It takes up more counter top than some but I think it’s worth it for the ability to was it properly.
Does what it says it will. Perfect little milk fro other.
Simple to use, easy to keep clean works really well. Used daily, top little machine. would deffo buy again.
Daughter delighted with this. Was to replace her old coffee maker and she much prefers this
This consistently gives loads of foam if you use Waitrose essential whole milk. For some reason, other whole milks just give a whisp of foam (including fancy Waitrose milk).
Also, I feel that it “cooks” the milk if left to it’s own devices. I put it on a cold froth followed by half a hot froth cycle to get warm frothy milk. I wish it did this itself.
Unlike other reviewers had no problem frothing semi skimmed milk. if you READ the manual and follow the instructions it is great.
I love this machine. Which I bought from LakeLand have a lavazza coffee machine that I twice managed to break the milk frothing part of so I purchased this. I have had it for over 12months. I use full fat, semi skimmed and fully skimmed milk depending on which family member wants a coffee. I have never had any problems with it, perfect results every time, we get through about 10 cups of coffee a day so it is well used. I also use it with grated dark chocolate to make a very delicious unsweetened hot chocolate drink. My son uses it for milkshakes and when it wears out I will certainly replace it with another. The only problem I have with it is the plastic lid got slightly chewed by my greyhound, but it still works absolutely fine. During the day as it’s in fairly regular use I give the jug and lid a rinse under the hot tap and then just stick it in the dishwasher at night, and wipe over the base with.a clean damp cloth. The only thing that you should be aware of is it has an induction motor which may not be suitable for you to use if you have a pacemaker.
Ok so far so amazing !! Have only had this machine for a couple of days but love it. Easy to use easy to clean & have HOT milk to add to my coffee. Can’t comment on durability yet. Hope this is useful.
Does a great job frothing milk. It is real quick at heating the milk to the right temperature and the froth is really thick and creamy. Operation is quiet. It is really easy to clean and with minimal moving parts you can imagine very few issues with it.
I’d highly reccomend.
Fabulous, easy to clean and froths soya and oat milk fabulously
Great milker, froths the milk really well (better to use fully skimmed though). Really easy to clean and use.
This is a great milk frother. It looks handsome, feels nice, and works every time. There are enough options for all my heated milk needs. It’s very easy to clean, which I really value.
Value for money, make sure you read instructions carefully for frothy milk.
Great thing, small enough to happily have on your work surfaces and stylish enough to catch people’s eye. 3 functions is fab, hot milk, froth and cold milk. Just what I wanted. Perfect for one cup.
