Good frothe
Does exactly what it claims , makes 2 large cups of coffee or chocolate , froth you can eat with a spoon .
Worth the money
I’ve had this over a year with daily use and it’s brilliant. I use in conjunction with a Nespresso machine to make latte’s once or twice daily. The kids also use it for hot chocolate and to mix milkshakes.
My only gripe was that is looked as if I had been sent out a customer return, the box looked to have been opened. I returned the original order and received a replacement the next day.
So far so good!
Great product, large capacity to heat or foam, I get a really big mug and that’s only filling it partially. I’ve used loads of other frothers previously so hoping this will last!
An Käufer in D, A, CH: UK-Produkt mit UK-Stecker!
Die Bewertung betrifft nicht die Funktionsweise und Qualitt des Milchschumers, sondern die Tatsache, dass es sich um ein Produkt mit UK-Stecker handelt, worauf Amazon leider nicht hinweist. In D daher nur verwendbar mit zustzlich zu erwerbendem Adapter. Besser: das gleiche Produkt von einem Anbieter aus D bestellen.
Superb quality
This just excellent, works so well I love it. Super easy to clean and worth every penny great warranty too. I love the fact you can make hot chocolate directly in the jug. I highly recommend this milk frother.
Excellent gadget to have
There is nothing to dislike, does exactly what it’s supposed to, would recommend to anyone
Wow this is a great for froth and very hot chocolate
We have been using this for four weeks without any issues with pouring , heating milk or frothing milk. The jug simply goes into the dish washer every night. I never spend time writing long reviews but this is a great bit of kit and it worth every penny. We used to buy cheap ones that seem to last 5 mins. Works for a busy family household 10.10
Does what it says...
Even at 65 degrees it is not quite warm enough when you transfer whatever you are frothing to a recepticle at room temperature, pre-warmed is ok. The frother attachment by its self is super powerful! and a bit too much for our liking. It is a bit noisy but its not for long.
Really Brillia
I wasn’t sure about this as was a bit expensive but after using it found it to be an absolute delight.The different settings for mixing hot chocolate and making milky froth for your coffee is so easy to do.
i once bought a expensive coffee machine which made the froth/cream for the coffee and after a short while you constantly had to clean it and very soon after it broke completely, i vowed to myself i would never buy another coffee machine. My goal was to make coffee as good as a professional coffee shop would make. and so i thought i would try the Severin SM 3587 just for the creamy froth…It’s absolutely perfect, and because you have a seperate cup its easy to clean, it feels like it’s made well, and works by induction, I like complan a extra multi vitamin drink to boost my energy sometimes and i put in approx milk in the cup and the complan
choose which setting i like and it comes out just heavenly..All can say it works really really well buy it..

Best frother on the market!
Second Severin frother I have bought -this one is a requested Xmas present for my daughter and partner as they have just moved into their first home together. Mine is still going strong after around 4 years, and used frequently.. the new one is obviously a ‘can’t live without’ item! It is a great machine, easy to use, and whole jug goes on dishwasher. Not opened and used yet, but it’s just the updated model. Buy Severin you will not be disappointed.
Create professional-quality coffee/milk drinks at home.
The machine is no-nonsense and the jug is easy to clean.
Good for making hot chocolate.
I wanted something to make hot chocolate and this does the job admirably. I use organic cocoa plus some extra 100% chocolate drops (need to be broken up a bit however or they can jam it up).
Genius
This is a fantastic machine. I use it for hot milk only however. 65 degrees is perfect for me. Drinkable straight away. Just right.
The instructions are a little bit poor though. Needs a diagram. For the benefit of readers. The little black serrated gadget for frothing simply sits over the nipple at the end of the jug. Pour in your milk. Pop the jug on the machine, set your temp and press the black button in the centre of the dial and you’re at the races. 2 mins later you have your perfect frothy milk.
Love it.
Froth some milks superbly others not so
Easy to use and so simple to clean, with nice aesthetics and a large volume.
Be warned: unfortunately doesn’t froth all milks, but those it does: dairy, alpro soya, it does fantastically well. Haven’t found an oat milk brand that it can do. Don’t own other frothers so not sure if this is a milk or frother issue.
Also while the cup is a premium metal, it does house a plastic magnet milk frother- unsure if it’s bpa free.
So I owned a prior top of the line Severin milk frother which after 6 years of solid use finally broke so this seemed like the natural replacement.
The size of the base has reduced significantly, it has a much smaller footprint on the kitchen top.
The jug itself has a much larger step in it, the bottom is much narrower than the top, not to the point where it will topple easily but if you caught is accidentally I suspect it would tip if especially full.
There are a multitude of programmes, each depicted with it’s own icon on the small display on the dial. I didn’t find these particularly insightful so you’ll need the manual until you are used to it.
I use mine to heat coffee for lattes and so use the smooth stirrer and it does a great job of heating milk. Unlike some other reviews I find the jug pours cleanly, my old one would dribble if you didn’t pour with gusto.
There are some dumb design decisions that you need to be aware of that rob it of 5 stars, especially compared to the old manual version.
First, and it’s difficult to believe, if you use the smooth stirrer there is nowhere to store the frothy stirrer! There is a space on top of the lid that can take the smooth stirrer but the frothy one doesn’t fit! The old one had a magnetic recess on the back that could hold either one and held it firm, this is a much better solution. In addition the stirrer cover just rests loosely on top of the lid, you’d think to look at it that it would lift the lid but it won’t. These are staggering design decisions.
Second the lid is a two part construction rather than a single molding, it feels flimsy and the center part does not fit tight to the outer part. I suspect that this will be a point of weakness once its gone through the dishwasher a few hundred times. The old single cast lid is just better if boring to look at.
Third none of the programmes have an adjustable temperature. The old manual version had a simple dial that took you from cold to 65 degrees, here the dial is only used for selecting the programme, nothing else. Now as it happens for the latte programme the temperature is exactly as I like it, hot but not enough to burn or ruin the coffee, but if you like anything less than that then you’ll be letting it stand for a bit before drinking.
Lastly the handle is a two part construction, this allows water inside of it when in the dishwasher, Severin clearly recognise this problem as there is a small drainage hole at bottom if you squint, this means it dribbles badly when coming out of the dishwasher and is bound to collect detritus inside of it over time. The old design was a single piece moulding that didn’t have this problem and in addition also felt more robust.
So in summary this is a good milk frother rather than great and for the money really I’d like the points above to be tackled and combine the best of the old design with step forward with the technology and display.

Sits alongside our coffee machine
We have a bean-to-cup coffee maker with this sat alongside to deal with heating and frothing the milk. Best option by far for us. Leaves the steam capacity of the coffee machine to focus on making the coffee. Hot frothy milk at 65C much simpler than using the steam wand and jug. Warm the milk whilst you make the coffee is the single biggest advantage. We all like different milks – much easier to clean out and much quicker to warm milk in parallel than using an all-in-one barista type coffee machine.
Pour the quantity of milk you need in, turn dial to select program e.g. normal milk heated and frothed, click, set temp (defaults to one needed), click again. So in effect you twist dial till you see program you want and click twice. Ring around top of unit glows red to show heating. You can see and hear it mixing. Bleeps and red-ring flashes when done. Lift out of base and pour.
Really pleased with this
Really great at everything it describes. Even makes the kids a great hot chocolate at a temperature ready to drink straight away if you use the baby food setting.
Brillia
Great milk frother allowing you to make two full mugs of hot coffee in one go. Brilliant.
Perfec
Like everything about this product, it is perfect for coffee or hot chocolate.
Milk your way
Simply great hot cocoa ( hotel chocolate)
Simply great milkshake (nestle)
I could not recommend highe
Great product, well designed and more functions than you'll ever need!
Excellent range of programmes. Well made and very easy to clean. Quick to heat up milk and produces good long lasting froth.
I bloody love this thing
I researched milk frothers quite a bit before I purchased this, but ultimately I decided on this one. I normally don’t like to invest in machines that only do one thing, but I decided it was worth it.
I’ve never been a coffee drinker, but I have on occasion treated myself to a hot choc, a chai latte, a matcha latte, turmeric latte, or a London fog. Before Covid, I’d get maybe 2 a week, they generally cost around 5 each, so that’s 10 a week, 40 a month. Not a lot. I paid 89.99 for this, which means it pays for itself in 2.5 months. When you think about it this way, it absolutely pays for itself very quickly, and I’m only an occasional hot drinker. Though, that said, I drink hot drinks almost every day, now. And as you may know, matcha and turmeric lattes are hard to make at home because it’s hard to mix them up so well.
I only use this with plant milk, mainly oat and soya and occasionally coconut milk. It obviously doesn’t foam up as much as cow milk, but it does give a nice layer of foam. I am absolutely delighted with this machine. It takes around 2 minutes and I have perfect cafe-quality lattes and hot choc. Haven’t tried the cold option yet, as I don’t drink cold milk drinks.
This is a wonderful investment if you enjoy even the occasional drink. So pleased with this machine.
edit: after 11.5 months, I still adore this machine and cannot recommend it high enough. Pictured- a soya chai latte.

Expensive but practical
This is much more expensive than other frothers, but for ease of use and practicalities, it’s probably the best available. These were the advantages over other makes that made me decide to go for this one, in order of importance. These are all essential if this is not to be yet another gadget that’s deemed too much of a hassle to use regularly and finds its way in the back of a cupboard. I also list the things I didn’t like, but still give five stars because overall, it’s a really good product.
1. Detachable jug for pouring and cleaning (I can’t overemphasise the importance of this feature).
2. Induction heating to prevent sticking or burning.
3. Automatic timer and shut-off, which means you can switch on and go off to do something else.
What could, or even should, be improved, considering the high price?
1. A properly riveted stainless steel handle. I don’t dare put this in the dishwasher as I’m not convinced the semi-plastic handle would stand up to many repeated cycles.
2. A stainless steel lid. I certainly wouldn’t put this clear plastic lid in the dishwasher. Why does it need to be see-through? Once the steam builds up inside, the lid gets steamed up and loses its transparency so you can’t see anything through it anyway! For the price, I’d expect glass or stainless steel.
3. A better parking system for the small black frothing/stirring attachments. What’s there is a neat idea in theory but doesn’t really work in practice.

Wow! Just perfect. Forget the rest.
The build quality is superb. I was worried because the name sounded dodgy but the product is top notch. I’ve had many milk frothers, three from Nespresso and one other. They have all had their faults. Teflon is always a disaster because the milk burns on and the Teflon comes off after repeated cleaning. Some jugs are too small to get your hands in to clean them. and others make the milk warm but not hot. This unit is easy to clean with just a rinse. You can dishwasher it if you like but because there are no ‘hot spots’ the milk doesn’t burn. There is more drama than with most because it lights up like a Christmas tree but the functionality is top notch. Definitely the best milk heater/ frother that I’ve owned and hopefully it will be the last one I need. Five stars

Worth every penny
Very happy with this! Haven’t used all of its features. But it’s a dream
Excellent milk frother, surpasses the res
Fantastic bit of kit. Finally a milk frother that works as I like it. I’ve had the Dualit and Nespresso (krupps) ones before, they didn’t have temp options and we’re only small capacity. This machine has room to spare for two coffees and the bowl doesn’t get milk residue on it that’s tricky to clean. I’ve found this one can just be rinsed effectively without scrubbing. As it’s an induction base, there is a cooling fan that runs about two mins after the heating cycle which was unexpected but its not too intrusive sound wise. I bought an amazon warehouse (very good-used) model and there was no blemish or mark anywhere, came in original packaging. Saved some !
A more expensive machine for sure but ahead of the pack. I bought the one with a rotary dial and five heat settings as it seemed way easier to operate rather than the all singing all dancing electronic model with the display in the button. Very happy!
Hot froth 👍
I have had SM 3586 model for a few days now and I am very impressed I’ve tried all the temperature modes and they appear to be 2 to 3c hotter than the selected temp this might because of the cheap temperature gauge I have, the 65c temperature is perfect for cappuccino and it makes it a lot hotter than my bean to cup milk frother, hot chocolate was lovely using grated chocolate, cleaning is easy and just a quick rinse with a sponge and detergent and I don’t need to rush as when I’ve cleaned it my cappuccino is still piping hot, I would highly recommend this to anyone who is tied of lukewarm cappuccino but because of the various temp selections even for those who like there cappuccino on the colder side 5 out of 5
Great milk frothe
Great milk frother, ideal to use for cappuccino or lattes. Plenty of froth and hot milk doesn’t cool your coffee. Somehow we are getting more taste from our coffee pods even with using same quantities as our previous frother – which is lovely. Very easily cleaned, simply rinse or put in dishwasher.
18 months on - still the best frother purchased
I’ve had this frother for 18 months now and its still going strong despite some wear tot he rubber lining of the lid (most likely because i chuck it into the dishwasher along with the jug every day). It produces an extremely rich froth from milk and even manages to froth up my almond milk cappuccinos . Can’t recommend it enough – chinese made or not – it does the job and does it well.
Great produc
Very pleased with this product. Very quiet, which was a nice surprise
Doing it the Milky Way!
Easy to use, straight forward. Not many options for different drinks but can upgrade to more expensive model. It’s well built with a nice finish.
Better than Nespresso and Dualities
I used a Nespresso milk brother for years, when it eventually broke I chose the Dualit – definitely better than Nespresso, it stopped working after a couple of months so I traded up to Severin. I usually prefer a Flat White rather than a more frothy coffee. The Severin is able to make those smaller bubbles. It feels well made and is super easy to clean. I love how the jug can be fully submerged and is totally separate to the electrical parts – I’m hoping this will ensure it lasts longer. It’s possible to add ingredients whilst it mixes by removing part of the top. This can be used to melt chocolate or add ingredients to a ‘bullet proof’ coffee.
Best ye
This is our 4th frother over as many years. I think this one will last longer than the others all put together.
Great product and well worth the extra cost.
Worth trying agai
First frother didn’t froth at all. I tried two different brands of whole milk. I even used the cold froth function followed by the stiff hot froth function, as recommended by the instructions, but to no avail.
Rather than give up and ask for a full refund, I decided to try a replacement machine. As usual, Amazon were extremely easy to deal with re the return and super efficient at dispatching a replacement.
Two days in, the replacement works perfectly and has lived up to the manufacturer’s marketing video. I have used organic whole milk and the froth has been thick and creamy, whether using the minimum or maximum level of milk.
I love the size of the milk container. It is much bigger than the Dualit so making a few dry cappuccinos at a time is not a problem. Also, unlike the Dualit, more milk does not mean less froth. I made three babyccinos for my kids, and there was plenty of froth to go around.
The fact that the milk container detaches from the base is a huge bonus for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is extremely easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher with no need to worry about wet electrics. After a quick rinse, the machine can be reused without having to wait for it to cool, so multiple milk based drinks can be prepared in a relatively short space of time.
I have not tried any other functions so I can’t attest to how good they are. In addition, I have also only had the machine for two days so I am hoping it continues to work as it should. I am very fastidious about cleaning and using it properly, so if it malfunctions, I know it won’t be because of a lack of care or misuse.
All this to say, that there appears to be significant inconsistency between individual machines of the same model. I don’t think Severin are alone in this. I have experienced similar issues with the Dualit and the Aerocinno. I can only surmise that quality control in China is not as rigorous as it needs to be.
In any case, if you receive a dud, my advice is to try a replacement. Despite the inconvenience, it has been worth it.
If my machine stops working, I will update my review accordingly.
Quality product for a quality price
I bought this as a cheaper product I bought didn’t have a detachable jug and it was a faff to clean.
I researched loads and this seemed to be the best. It looks smart and is easy to use, including making hot chocolate. A barista pour is a bit of a stretch, but probably as good as you’ll get without a steamer.
Excellent product brings to life coffee experience
Been looking for a new milk brother to replace my old Jura model that had given up the ghost in terms of frothing and heating. Spent a long time looking and considering different reviews before settling on the Severin. It’s not the cheapest, but I feel this is one of those gadgets where you very much get what you pay for, and, so far, the Severin has not disappointed.
Milk froths really well – lucky to live in an area close to a farm who sells direct to the locality so its extra creamy and high in protein, all of which are useful in creating good flat whites and steamed coffees. Big plus is ease of cleaning especially as we use it six or seven times a day as I’m a crime writer working from home.
Can’t fault it and has really brought to life my daily coffee experience – all of my local roast coffee beans seem to taste so much better now we have correctly heated and brother milk.

Great addition to your kitchen if you value design and German engineering
Love it — German design in home appliances never disappoints. Haven’t tested all settings yet, so far mostly frothing and milk heater.
Probably more suitable for 2+ people because the minimum amount of milk needed for perfect frothing is slightly more than in a typical nespresso frother. Excellent results with regular whole cows milk. With non dairy milks, frothing results varies a lot depending on the milk (most oat milks for example prove quite difficult if you want a really nice and smooth foam). But in my experience this is the case with many other frothing machines as well. Soy milk (which has less watery consistency compared to oat) works perfectly.
Great design and love all the different settings. Super easy to clean and so practical that you can pop it into the dishwasher.
Easy to use and clean. Love it!
Purchased to replace low cost frother/heater. This makes such a difference, great quality device good foamed milk every time and the removable stainless steel jug makes cleaning up a piece of cake.
Would buy again. Perfect.
Perfect. Yes you can but a cheaper machine but this heats the milk until it is very hot & the capacity is fab for those who prefer a larger milky drink. Super easy to clean. Well worth the additional expense.
Good-Buy!!!!
I bought this for the Hot Chocolate function and it is proving to be as perfect as I hoped!
Easy to clean, good froth
We got it to replace a Lavazza frother that worked well but it tended to form a layer of cooked milk that was hard to dislodge. The Severin’s milk container can be removed for cleaning; it will also go in the dishwasher but the induction heating along with its stainless steel surfaces mean that it is easy to rinse and drain. This is why I bought it and I’m very pleased with it. It heats and froths to a perfect 65C but other temperatures are available. We use a setting for Latte and it makes ample good froth for two. However, like other frothers it’s best to mix it with your coffee in the cups as soon as it is ready, because that stabilises the froth (stops it separating). The froth then lasts to the end. We haven’t tried other settings as we got it just for making lattes.
De’Longhi bean-to-cup machines are the best for grinding and processing the beans; their steam frother wands are good too but they are the Achilles heels – they don’t last long – just about limping past the guarantee period. This is true of our current De’Longhi that would have ended its days if not for our old Lavazza frother. The new Severin, though expensive compared to others, will let it continue to grind on, sparing it from early retirement. And there are other De’Longhi machines with worn-out steam wands lurking in the garage waiting for a new lease of life thanks to the Severin.
Good milk frother with plenty of options
Really happy with this milk frother. Easy to use, really easy to clean. Definite difference in the foam between settings. Hot Chocolate mode works well too.
Good quality
Fantastic product easy to use, complimenting my new coffee make
I’ve had the blender 4 days now. It didn’t start of that well because it didn’t seem to froth alot (compared to my krups). I noticed other people had reviewed and complained about it too. After doing some research, you need to try the different settings and dial in the correct heat amount for your requirements. So, more froth = a lower heat setting. The hotter you go = less froth. I’ve dialed in between the cold and hot froth heat setting. Easy to do, and once in place keep it there. Now the frothing is absolutely FANTASTIC. Skimmed milk is amazing! Too much froth for a single mug/cup. Semi-skimmed is the perfect cup amount. The heat isn’t even compromised. It’s really easy to clean and built like a tank. I now love it and am looking forward to testing out the hot chocolate feature.
Makes great quality drinks
Bought this after a disappointing Aldi velvetiser copy kept burning the milk. Have used all the functions now including cold, normal milk frothing and adding actual chocolate flakes to the milk. IT’s really easy to use and add in the chocolate. The milk quality is great and temperature is good. Soooo easy to clean and a rinse out will often do in between. The size means you can make enough milk for two good sized drinks when frothing (more when just heating milk) so makes it much easier than repeating with the smaller capacity frothers. Highly recommend.
Switch me on and I’ll do the res
Very good it does what it says on the tin . Easy to use, temperature is also good
This product was delivered so fast, I was worried that someone was reading my mind.
It is a good solid product. Designed in Germany but made in China, like most things in life. No issue really unless you’re a xenophobe.
It is solidly built.
Here is the good, the bad and the ugly. (well, it’s not really ugly)
It does perform well as a milk heating element.
The induction heating function is impressive. In less than a minute, you have 65c milk from cold. No burned spots in the stainless steel cup.
The temperature is spot on.
The steel cup has no seals inside, it is simply molded with a protrusion in the bottom which mounts the plastic surrounded magnet which spins, producing the froth feature.
Thus, you have no fluid seal. Quite a good idea.
This plastic magnet I refer to from here on, as a ‘plastic magnet thingy’.
You have three plastic magnet thingys, one smooth for just heating milk, One serrated for frothing, and a cover for the serrated one for chocolate milk. (This one constantly pops off, so I don’t use the cover. Its a pain.)
Semi-skimmed and whole milk will provide a nice froth, hot or cold.
Plant milks will depend on the fat content. I have found that oat milk with 1.5% fat froths nice when cold, but produces no froth when frothing and heating. You need at least 2-3% fat in the milk for hot frothing. Barrista Oat milk, with 3% fat, froths nicely on the hot cycle, for example.
It is VERY easy to clean. As the steel jug simply lifts off the main unit, all you have to do is rinse it with hot water. The plastic magnetic inset stays in the jug. Just rinse it out with some soapy water and it’s ready to go back on the main unit. No need to use a dishwasher , but if you want to, I can’t see a problem as the jug is just a one piece of stainless steel, there are no bearings or rubber seals to ruin in a dishwasher.
The bad..
Bizarrely, there does not seem to be a way to turn the machine off!
Press the main button and it comes out of standby with a blue flashing light. Press again and it starts the function you select with the dial. At the end of the process, it stays lit and flashes a bit but then after about two minutes, it goes into standby. There is no way to turn it off. It doesn’t matter too much to me because I’m rich and don’t care about my electricity bill but it does seem a bit unusual.
More concerning is this..
Sometimes., maybe just when you are not expecting it, the mixing insert (you know, the little plastic magnetic mixy thingy) comes off of the steel protrusion it is mounted on, causing the machine to flash red and blue and make a disturbing noise.
The machine is clearly in distress at this travesty.
This can be rectified by re-inserting the plastic magnetic thingy but it clearly disturbs a process which would have been satisfying otherwise.
This happens when you put sugar in with the milk before starting the machine. This knocks the plastic magnetic thingy off its mount.
It also happens when you put small chunks of chocolate in the machine when using the hot chocolate function (If you get it to work, the chocolate is really good.)
To be fair, the manual (probably also written by the Chinese chap who assembled the unit) does state to add ingredients only when the machine is running. It also says never to take off the lid on the cup while the machine is running, which is a bit of a contradiction… but the same manual suggests unplugging the machine before any cleaning, so it can be safely assumed that the manual can be summarily disregarded as packing material.
OK, to make a long story not quite as long, I am happy with this product and I would buy it again. It just takes some getting used. to.

I will pass it on to friends
it a very great machine and loving our hot chocolate
Definitely worth upgrading to this.
Decided to purchase this when our last milk more basic milk frother broke. Wondered if the extra cost would be worth it. No regrets. The machine is easy to use, quiet and produces thick frothy milk best poured as soon as it beeps. The hot chocolate function is also great, effectively breaking up chunks of chocolate with milk to produce a deliciously rich drink. Very easy to clean. Has been used several times a day for the past 2 months no negative observations.
Absolutely fab !
Absolutely fab, love it ! This is very good, so easy to use and clean. I have tested several of the possible mix / heat/ blend functions and so far it has not failed to do exactly what is expected. I can 100% recommend this product.
This works
This is brilliant – we only use it for frothing milk and always use cold setting and then 65degree heating – amazing foamed milk every time! You put whole jig in DW so super easy to clean – used every day Brilliant and worth the money!
Much easier to clean than previous one!
Easy to clean and some additional features over previous milk frother. Even an option to create hot chocolate but dropping chocolate chunks into the top of the stainless steel cup. We’ve been less than successful with that but the kids have had fun trying it.
I admin I was a Grande / Venti Hot Chocolate Starbucks kind of girl. Moving over to Oatmilk, I treated myself to this machine and I can’t tell you how much it has transformed my life. Worth EVERY penny. I had a rival in the past and it never made enough (topped out at 250lm). This makes me 400ml and more. Can’t recommend it highly enough if hot milk / oatmilks etc you are after.
Better than shop bought hot chocolate
Should have gotten one long before. So easy to use and even easier to clean. Perfect got chocolate.
Worth spending a bit more
It is very efficient for a wide range of drinks and makes the milk nice and hot.
Very pleased with this purchase. Even used it to make turmeric lattes with coconut milk.
Good frothe
Great product excellent at what it does. One nigle the way the frothing things are stored on the lid is a bit stupid but it is a good frothe
Worth paying the extra fo
Have had various brands none of which were as durable or efficient. Easy to operate, nice thick foam and makes enough for a large breakfast cup. Does not burn the milk and is easy to clean. Have had 3 x aeroccinos all of which broke down while still under warranty, a Lavazza and a cheaper brand. This one is superior in performance and reliability to all of them,.
Excellent milk brothe
I was seriously disappointed when my Krups K2000 milk brother failed, would cost 70 to service and has been discontinued anyway Looking for a replacement I found the Severin and have not looked back. It seriously froths milk. Has much greater volume capacity than the Krups. Offers a range of programmes most of which I have not even tried yet but all the ones I have tried do what they say they do. Key failing of a lot of milk frothers is they do not get the milk hot enough. No problem here with the Severin. I really cannot fault the Severin. The only slight negative I will say is the unit is a bit bigger than I would like but that is so it can handle a capacity greater than I need. Also it is slow but knowing that you just plan your preparations accordingly.
We don’t drink espresso but use ours to make frothy milk coffee and milk chocolate
After being given a much cheaper non-stick frother we became addictive to frothy coffee and frothy chocolate milk. We don’t drink espresso but use ours to make frothy milk coffee and milk chocolate by adding a heaped teaspoon of either instant coffee or cocoa to the milk before frothing. Our cheap frother got harder and harder to clean when the milk burnt on the bottom of the non-stick coating. I finally did some research and decided on this brand in 700 Plus. So glad I did, and we love everything about it. It’s stainless steel interior just rinses out and we can make one after the other as my husband uses raw full fat milk and I drink mostly Sojade soya or Oatly oat milk (the normal type). It doesn’t produce full froth from normal oat milk but will enough for frothy milk. I selected the soya milk setting, and also tried the full froth setting both achieved the same result with normal oat milk, not as great as soya, as soya milk froths easier than normal milk in any frother. I did have to play around with different settings for soya as the machine soya setting was too good and I ended up with a cup of froth and very little milk. I found using the hot milk setting with the normal froth blade was perfect for frothy soya coffee and also for frothy hot chocolate with milk or soya by adding a heaped teaspoon of cocoa powder before turning on. I found nothing to dislike about this product.
I was a little wary when I saw this product on Amazon as non of the usual UK review sites even mention the brand. However having decided it was the frother for me despite the relatively high price, and having used it (and the appropriate settings from the lovely OLED display) for cappuccino, latte (very good!), hot chocolate (oh yes) and to mix protein powder and milk, I’m even more surprised that it doesn’t feature on review sites. It’s very good indeed. Easy to clean too and reassuring that it has a fan inside to cool down the electronics which will hopefully preserve it’s lifespan. The one area it is less successful is mixing protein shakes with cold milk as the powder can remain a bit clumpy though to be fair 30 seconds of shaking a protein shake vigorously is probably better for my health anyway.

Worth the extra money!
Worth every penny. If you want that silky smooth flat white invest in this. More expensive than others but there is a clear reason for that.
I wasn’t 100% convinced that it would be any better than others half the price…. BUT Our gamble paid off.
Barista’s Bes
A robust and effective tool for the would-be barista! This model offers 13 settings from mulled wine to heating baby food. Nevertheless, there are plenty of milk options to whip up a professional looking foam for cappuccino, macchiato or latte.
Because the unit uses induction technology, it’s a doddle to keep clean. The stainless jug sits daily in the dishwasher, but running a programme filled with clean water does an excellent job, too!
One tiny word of warning – the little magnetic stirrers are fantastically easy to mislay. They are a nightmare to replace!
Great for non diary milk drinkers too
Easy to use and keep clean. Works great with non diary milk like Oatly Barista Editio
We have tried 3 models because we liked the design and the fact it was German ,so I will keep it simple .all she models frothed brilliant at first ,then they changed it for a new machine ,which frothed for 2 days then didn’t work then I got a refund .then we tried another machine different but same make .didnt froth anything at all .yes I did get advice yes I did read instructions..but for us this milk frother wouldn’t froth.its that simple ,havd lost faith in product ..

Hot and lovely froth
Has changed my life. I don’t know why I did not replace my nespresso frother years ago.
Fantastic latte. Best milk frother eve
Beautifully made and easy to use and clean.
Froths milk consistently and makes a delicious latte. Never lets you down.
I enjoy using it very much – very stylish.
As described
Very good product.as described and more.very pleased with my purchase.
Top purchase this yea
Cannot overstate how good this Severin milk frother is, just like having a coffee out with all the frothy goodness and to top it all off makes hot chocolate by adding Cadbury Dairy Milk to milk.
Super machine
Easy to use. Easy to clean. What’s not to like! Good to have the choice of temperature.
Using whole milk produces the most dense and full foam that beats the steam frother on my expensive bean to cup machine hands down. I am very impressed. There are lots of different settings, it makes lovely hot chocolate and milk shakes too.
I love the design, it’s really easy to operate and super quick to clean afterwards. The fact it uses induction to heat means the milk does not stick at all inside the jug.
Complaints about this model relate to the reliability, so I hope that I don’t fall victim to that. For the time being I am very happy with this milk frother.
Makes great coffee and hot chocolates
I wasn’t sure about this but thought I’d treat myself and I’m glad I did. I use it every day.
I add milk and 2 spoons of Nescaf AZERA almericano fine instant coffee to the machine and it makes a great frothy coffee at the perfect temperature.
The same with hot chocolates for the kids add milk, Cadbury’s hot chocolate powder and a flake.
Washes very easily and the machine looks great in the kitchen.
Great just wish a little hotte
Great frother and skimmed milk whips up the best. I warm the cups up with hot boiled water whilst waiting for it to froth so is a great device but just wish it was a little hotter.
Bought initially to extend the life of my aged espresso machine which no longer wanted to froth milk. So pleased with the results, it’s also so easy to use. There are three froth tools (?) one which froths one that is for hot chocolate (by using actual chocolate) and one just for hot milk. On the device there are just 3 settings, cold frothing, hot froth of hot milk and the hot chocolate setting. To be honest the only one I have used in the 2 months I have had this is the hot frothing setting. There is a minimum and maximum fill level for the milk, providing you follow that simple rule you cannot go wrong. (Not sure how some other reviewer had trouble but hey?).
Overall really pleased happy to recommend and would definitely buy Severin again.

Simply the bes
Have tried several other makes, but this is by far the best out there. Milkshake no problem, hot foam no problem and hot chocolate (yes please) no problem. Yes it is large to other makes but come on who cares. Very easy to use and to clean.
Brilliant product, would highly recommend
Lattetastic
Love this machine. Produces a fantastic, authentic coffee shop latte when added to an espresso.
Best on the market!!
Only had a few days but sooo good! If you like foam, this is the one for you! Yes, its a lot of dosh for some bubbles but.. what bubbles!!
Treat yourself!
Update: Had this a few months now, it just gets better.. try out the different settings.
*NB* Works really well with soya & other non dairy milks. Even if your milk has separated, it still produces a-MAZE-ing results
For those that love lattes
Only had the machine for 4 days, but a wonderful 4 days they have been. It’s like having a Costa Barista in my kitchen and during isolation has been my life saviour. Not yet been used for chocolate but my daughter is keen to have a go when we chocolate in the house. Would recommend
Incredibly easy to clean either by hand or in a dishwasher. Makes lovely frothy milk using all the milks I’ve tried so far, including whole/semi-skimmed cow’s milk, semi-skimmed goat’s milk, almond milk, cashew milk, hazelnut milk, and oat milk. Makes gorgeous cocoa too but this model does not have the melt chocolate function so you’re restricted to cocoa rather than chocolate flakes.
I use mine daily for cocoa, lattes, chai lattes, turmeric lattes, and matcha lattes.
Great froth
Makes wonderful barista cappuccino froth. Also great creamy chocolate. Even whips up carnation milk. Expensive but well worth it. Absolutely love this product. Very well made?
Brilliant frother.
Excellent frother. The best on the market. My last severin frother lasted 8 years and was superb. very easy to clean and simple to use. I would recommend.
Coffee's never been easie
I had been using an integrated milk warmer with my magimix coffee machine but it was too small for more than one cup and very difficult to wash out properly due to the electrical base of the warmer being part of the whole unit. But this Severin SM 9685 has a much greater capacity enabling you to make up to three generous cups at the same time and the milk container is a separate ‘jug’ that can be removed and put in a dishwasher if required. Being stainless steel, you can also use a normal spoon to scoop out the froth. You have a choice of whisk disc for latte or cappuccino that can be easily stored on the back of the unit when not in use so you are unlikely to loose them. It’s a great item. You pay considerably more for it than some milk warmers, but in my opinion it’s worth every penny.
Excellent frothe
love this frother, bought another make first and sent it back. this is so worth the extra money. i actually use Barista style milk in it which gives great froth but other milks work too
Very happy with purchase
Received in good condition and time. Theirs was a present for my niece who loves making hot chocolate and she has tried it and is very happy with her present.
Grea
We have owned 3 milk frothers and this is by far the bes
Brilliant, effortless foamy hot chocolate!
I wish I’d bought this sooner. We only use it for making hot chocolate but it’s brilliant. I searched for a larger sized one to make several cups worth of milk at once. So this is more expensive than most on the market but will make enough for 3-4 decent sized mugs of hot chocolate at once. So simple to use and a doddle to clean. Absolutely love it, it’s been in use every day since it arrived. Can’t fault it!
Brilliant machine, I use it every day to make hot frothy milk for my coffee and hot chocolate for my husband. So easy to use, put milk into the pot, select temperature setting (I use the hottest though there are 4 settings to choose from) and press go. You can add chocolate as it mixes and heats, makes wonderful mochas when added to coffee. You can froth cold milk or just heat with no froth. Wouldn’t be without it now.
Quality made. Great large capacity frother. Love i
Large quantity – the choice of just hot of frothy. Well made appliance. Best frother I have had. Great with soya milk, wish I’d bought it years ago.
Works grea
Works great. Really like this product but it is very loud.
I love this machine!
I bought this a couple of months ago because I thought it looked much better quality than most of the plasticky alternatives. It sure is sturdy! It heats and/or froths a whole range of milks. I mostly make my own non-dairy milks. It’s gentle on home-made milk which is therefore less likely to split. It makes great no-mess cocoa – heat milk to 45, open lid, add cocoa powder, replace lid, heat to 65 – perfect cocoa and container just rinses out under the tap. I don’t use the frother so much (it has a choice of ceramic rings for either heat and froth or just heat) but I’m amazed it froths non-dairy milk so well. I make a pint of Yogi Tea every morning and I was struggling to stop the milk I add to the boiled up spice liquor splitting on the stove. This wee machine has solved that. Boil up spices then add tea leaves. While tea is infusing, heat milk in machine. Pour spice/tea liquor through strainer into milk in machine’s container. Done! A nicely designed machine that should last. Highly recommended.
I am really sad to be returning this product as I think it is a really good product. It was so easy to make hot chocolate and matcha lattes. And at the perfect temparature too! Also, it looks great and is easy to clean! However, it did not froth Oat milk. I also tried the barrista version but barely any foam/froth. It would be great if Severin improved on the little frother ring…..
The only reason I got hooked to milk frothing is because of the nespresso frother at work. So I have now purchased the Nespresso one. Hoping that it will do the job.
