What a great product to have for anyone that likes froth.
Mixes perfectly with nice marshmallow froth and is really easy to clean, as it can do it itself 😛
I’m not sure why they didn’t add a spout, as I did have a few times where it drips down the side when pouring. But it seems you just have to go for it and not slowly pour and it’s fine.
So far absolutely no problems with a neat design and simple function, the whisk elements is magnetic and removable which is convenient for cleaning. Only problem is that the frother does not take that much milk at a time and you may therefore have to do do several heat ups for multiple drinks at a time something that is difficult because the machine needs to cool down between uses. Apart from that perfect!
I am prompted to write a review as several people have said that their frother is poorly made. Ours is 5 years old and is used several times each day. It froths milk well to just the right temperature. I find that if you put cold water in it and let it soak after use it is easy to clean and the non-stick is still fine. We also have a brother in a second home which is 4 years old and works well too, though it is not used so often.
I thought our original frother was getting old and may need replacing hence my looking at this site. However I will wait until it breaks…….
Love this milk frother! We have an espresso machine but got too lazy to do the milk every time so we got this. I love how creamy and frothed (but not too foamy) the milk comes out. Perfect for a latte. Would definitely recommend!
Nice unit. Would have preferred the milk to get hotter. Easy to use.
I am wowed by this product really does what it says
Does what it says and is easy to clean. Don’t overfill as it does foam over the top!!
Easy to use, clean and store. The amount of lattes I consume is now bordering on a problem!! As with any dualit product – you can’t go wrong.
Froths milk well and heats it too. Very easy to use.
Makes very good frothy milk but doesn’t pour well. Always drips as it doesn’t have anything to enable it to pour out properly!
Was a gift for my grandmother, she is very happy with it. I have one that came with my Nespresso and this seems better and with a larger capacity than mine.
I bought it to make a hot chocolate and it certainly makes a good hot chocolate. I buy chocolate flakes for my hot chocolate, and it does melt them really well.
I love this product as it gives me coffee shop coffee at home with wonderful frothy milk. Easy to use and to clean. The perfect addition to any kitchen.
This is a great milk frother no doubt about that, and if you can buy it at the right price even better.
My problem is this is my third machine in about 5 years. First one stopped working outside the warranty, second one had to be replaced because the non stick surface started rusting, and my present one is heading the same way after 18 months. It is cleaned after every use but be careful what you clean it with, sometimes if you are making half a dozen drinks often the case when we have visitors cleaning is much harder and that’s when the damage is done using even a soft scourer. Non stick basis applies. If you want longevity only use a sponge. Note to self!
Let’s wait, as the previous one (same model) failed terminally after one and a half year. I have now a two year warranty.
Guests are amazed at our frothy coffees…so easy to use but must wash straight after use
Whisper quiet, easy to clean, and makes fabulous froth – enough for 2 cappuccinos simultaneously!
This is my third purchase of this make of milk frother. I have had mine for 5 years and it’s still going strong. Bought two more as gifts for family members.
Great milk frother! Only comment is the milk ‘chamber’ isn’t as big as i expected but still get five stars as it has transformed my coffee drinking experience!
I love it!
So simple,does every thing it’s says.
Have bought 3 now 2 for gifts,that’s how much I trust Dualit.
Highly recommended.
Very useful easy to use. Would definitely recommend to others
I’ve tried a few different frothers that did an ok job but this one is perfect. It heats and frothes enough milk for 2 coffees, the milk is nice and hot and the froth is a really creamy texture and its really easy to clean after use.I’d definitely recommend spending a few pounds more and getting the Dualit Milk Frother.
I virtually never write reviews but was galvanised to write one for this milk heater.
I’ve tried 3 others and I can say this one is EASILY the best. Different to the others out there. Stirrer completely detaches, held in place by only a magnetic base. Super easy to clean , usually only rinsing in water will get out all residue. Others I have tried the stirrer remain in situ and the milk sticks to the base making them a pain to clean. The most this has needed to clean is a quick wipe with a soft cloth. Great design. Had it 3 months, works perfectly, milk is just right temperature.
Thoroughly recommend this unit.
Was given one two years ago and it’s brilliant at frothing milk. Use it almost daily. Easy to use and easy to keep clean. If it broke I would replace it with another immediately.
I love this milk frother. Have had several different types over the years and this one must be one of the most effective ones.
It makes good foam and heats the milk very quickly
fabulous. Makes excellent hot frothy milk in no time to add to your coffee. Easy to clean.
I’m not a regular reviewer but this machine is so good you all need to know. I was bought it as a present.
It is so quick and simple to use it is a pleasure. Many kitchen ‘convenience’ appliances are either not user friendly, fiddly to clean or big/ugly enough that you don’e want it out on view (reducing it’s useability). Not so this.
The whisk operates magnetically so no holes or joins in the container which has curved edges and a non-stick coating. So when you’re done remove whisk and run both under the tap. It’s that simple to clean.
A kettle style base unit helps with this
Three functions from one button, super simple to operate.
It’s much smaller than a kettle and looks pretty good so warrants a place on the worktop next to my bean to cup machine taking up hardly any space.
I nearly removed a star for the price, it’s not cheap. But when something does it’s job so perfectly sometimes it’s just worth the money.
So easy to make warm froth. We have tried steamers (too much trouble) and high speed whisks (who wants cold froth). This product does it all automatically. Great product.
So pleased I went for this one. Easy to clean. Frothy milk at its best.
Bought as a gift for my elderly parents who enjoy a milky coffee. Simple and easy to use.
Fantastic frother. Makes amazing froth hot or cold. Would recommend this as a great buy.
Brought forth great joy from the members of the family who have milk in their coffee. It was busy all through the Christmas holidays. Easy to use, very easy to clean, and appears to produce the frothy stuff that other people want. I was merely a spectator and the washer upper.
Above all is the simplicity to clean it. The stirrer/frother comes out with ease as it’s simply held in place by a magnet – leaving a smooth coated internal jug which cleans under the tap or with a wipe with fingers.
Simple to use – literally 1 button
froths milk perfectly – yum
heats milk nice and quick – ahhh
Best thing ive bought this year!
I can’t use the capsule coffee pods as they all contain way too much sugar. However, I also love cappuccino. With this frother, my cappuccinos are back. This works well with semi-skimmed milk; I’ve yet to try it with skimmed. My only issue is that it has to be fully washed out after every use. However, this is warm frothy milk people, would you reuse a milk saucepan without washing it? Didn’t think so.
This lil device is ideal for making that perfect coffee. Fill with milk press button job done. Perfect every time.
Essentially this is a milk kettle!
I put it on at the same time as the kettle and they are ready together.
This is very good, very quick and very easy to use….
You can make frothy milk, hot milk and frothed cold milk for milkshakes.
To make frothy coffee you fill it to a guided line… read the instructions for this…but it is simple! …. and then press the button once.
For hot milk it’s the same just press the button twice.
It’s well made and cordless…. I personally find it easy to pour from and it works well.
You need to quickly clean it after use… easiest to do it immediately.. I just rinse the inside and whisk under the tap and then dry with paper towel. It’s easy!
You cannot immerse it but you can’t immerse your kettle either….
It’s incredibly good … everyone who has seen it has bought one….
I like it for a hot milky coffee…..
I’ve used and reviewed the Swan frother which is also good but this Dualit is far far superior…
Get one!
I purchased one of these quite a few years ago, it’s an item I use very often for hot chocolate to milk shakes to coffee, my mum has purchased quite a few different ones that are not as good, so I’ve brought her one for Christmas, what makes this one good is the easy to clean where the inside part comes out, other frothers my mum has purchased have been a small metal part that is hard to put in the bottom of the Frother, this frother is more expensive but well worth due to the quality, would highly recommend
Brilliant product , nice to look at and to use, easy to clea
Easier to clean than the Nespresso ones foam quality about the same. This has additional setting so you can half warm milk also
Family loves it. Great milk frothet and makes great hot chocolate too
his was bought as a replacement as the previous one got “damaged” – note that when the instructions say don’t immerse in water, there is a good reason. this is a good piece of kit, although the wee rubber feet are a bit rubbish at staying in their location holes on the bottom.
Bought this to replace a stunningly useless Severin SM 9684 that failed spectacularly to do the one thing it was meant to do – froth milk, and cost almost double the Dualit.
This produces lovely fluffy froth. The only advantage the Severin had was that it was dishwasher safe, but that’s like saying Harvey Weinstein is not all bad as he’s very kind to his mother.
Excellent frother but wish top would detach for easy cleaning.
After purchasing 2 other brands, such as a the Nesspresso and then the stainless steel one on prime, they simply went faulty within a few short months. Also they were hard t clean.
The Dualit frother is excellent and worth the extra cost.
It has a removable frother inside that leaves an easy to clean, and has a featureless heating compartment.
Best one out there. And I don’t leave feedback often.
Does what it’s supposed to do! Used at least once a day every day and always gives consistent results.
Finally the frother I dreamt. Makes my mornings just joyful. First time was disappointed because I didn’t go for the hot froth, but instead the warm, which produced just a bit of foam. Next day went for the hot froth and it was heaven. Quick as well and very easy to clea
Make a good froth although I think the milk could be a little hotter.
hmm… not managed to get my mother-in-law off double cream… despite being a really neat appliance. she says she needs a spoon with the new drink, which is a different ‘moment’ altogether.
Great it makes a perfect cappacino great for just two cups
Milk is awesomely made. Works on Bonsoy and any other funny milk I put in there. Second one of the kind. First one died after 1.5 years. I hoped for more but the product works well enough to just get another.
Ok so here goes, The Dualit frother is in short a fantastic peice of kit, its quick, easy and quiet. The foam it creates is uniform, dense yet light and lasts. It’s easy to use and easy to clean, a great bit of kit! There are however a couple of improvements that would have gotten it 5 stars, there is no spout/lip/rim, which basically means there is a fair chance of dripping milk on your counter top whilst slowly pouring which leads me into my second point, there is a step/gap between the plastic casing and the metal interior where the milk you just poured and dribbled everywhere collects, not great but it’s nothing a damp cloth can’t wipe away so not a deal breaker but annoying non the less. I have a nespresso frother also and in my opinion the Dualit is superior to it in every way save build quality. I use mine with a 10 year old gaggia caffitaly machine and both the coffee and the froth are 10 times better than my nespresso machine and aeroccino, however considering you can buy a used nespresso and frother system for around the same price as the Dualit it’s a hard call. In short, just want a frother for your existing coffee machine then the Dualit will do you proud, but if you are after a full system and don’t mind used then get the nespresso Citiz and milk for the same price.
This is really excellent, I highly recommend this. Great frothy coffee or superb cold frothy milkshakes.
Easy to use , easy to clean just rinse and wipe with kitchen roll. Love i
Third milk frother I’ve had and the best. Good looks,quality and capacity, and the clever design of the agitator assembly gives a flat bottom to the pot, making it easy to clean.
This is amazing. So simple. So easy to clean. Love i
Price good and although as stated box slightly damaged no problem with item
Just received.
It works well, creating great frothy milk using semi milk.
The real test is how long this will keep working.
Have had poor experience with Nespresso frother, where they seem to fail with local hotspots as they get older. (flashing red light)
Let’s see how this holds up.
I have tried a few frothers in the last 5-6 years and the often tend to either not froth well, or break down after a year or so.
The Dualit suffers from no such problems. Its biggest advantages are:
– milk heats and froths in a relatively short amount of time
– works equally well on skimmed and whole milk
– quiet whilst frothing
– easy to clean due to extractable magnetic rotor at the bottom of the container
– well insulated as the outside of the machine doesn’t get warm at all
– can often make 2 lattes or cappuccinos in one go (can be used for other types of hot drinks like hot chic as well)
The reason for giving it 4 stars is that sometimes milk does tend to burn at the bottom, which makes the immediate cleaning job a bit of hard work. Oh and if you don’t clean it straight after use, you will spend twice as long cleaning it afterward.
Overall, a great at-home frother!
All of a sudden stopped frothing, just after time to return. Unable to find way of getting it repaired via Amazon. Reviews stated one of the best, not worth nearly 50 if the main reason you want it is to froth the milk when it lasted a month!
Contacted sellers and they sent out a replacement which has been working great with no problems.
If you make large quantities of hot chocolate or coffee this is a must! We kept ours even after buying an espresso machine just incase.
I like it a lot: it even works with milk a few days old. Leaves unfrothed milk though.
Really pleased with this replacement milk frothier. Heats and froths the milk well for fabulous cappucinno’s. Easy to clean with the removable insert. Just need to see how it does over time.
My nespresso aeroccino 3 milk frother was getting a little old so decided to try this one. It’s a very good upgrade in my book just got to upgrade my coffee cup now as the Dualit milk frothed hold more milk.
These machines all seem to do the same thing but the Dualit is bigger and easier to clean too.
I’m very happy all round with this purchase
Easy to use, easy to clean. Very efficient and good value
It can make froth for 2 cups but it’s not as thick as I would like it to be. Nevertheless good product.
This is so easy to use and clean. I’ve only tried it with some mixed up Nestle Nido powered milk so far but it tastes just great with that. The consistency is nice and velvety and just the right temperature for my cappuccinos! Along with my illy iperespresso machine I can now make them as good as I’ve tried anywhere!
Absolutely right for temperature and consistency of froth to make two beautiful cappucinos.
Read all the reviews and did my research before buying. Now I’ve used it I can say great device and very easy to use, and clean in seconds.
Been making the wife Costa quality coffees with this and my Tasimo coffees maker she now always asking for me to make her a special coffee
I pour a little milk into the frothy and one click to heat and whisk a minute later it’s done very silent.
I then insert a expresso into my Tasimo and marry these up to make an amazing coffee.
I wasn’t sure to buy this as it was more expensive but definitely worth it for the result.
Amazing – totally love it. Makes excellent coffee when paired with a stovetop espresso machine, and much cheaper / less hassle than a dedicated machine. Easy to clean also.
Bought for a present and have been informed that it is good. Apparently, it’s very easy to use and to clean. Very satisfied.
My husband got me this as a birthday present last year, my initial reaction was (sarcastically) ‘oh lovely thank you, just what I’ve always wanted’
But in fact it was a very sweet and thoughtful gift as I am a massive Costa latte lover, and now I could make my own frothy coffee at home.
There are 3 functions, hot and frothy milk, hot milk, and cold frothy milk.
I mainly just use the frothy hot milk function, but the cold frothy milk is great for a milkshake.
The machine itself is very simple to use and very quiet. It only takes a couple of minutes for frothy milk. The milk doesn’t come out hot hot but a perfect drinkable temperature. I would say there is enough milk, if filled close to the maximum line, for 1 latte or 2 small-medium cappuccinos.
The machine doesn’t get hot on the outside as its so well insulated. It’s also very easy to clean, there is only the whisk and lid, and the inside just needs the inside wiping after the machine has cooled down,
I use this everyday and love having my own frothy latte at home, at a fraction of the price of coffe shops, although I still like yo go for a treat!!!
The only reason that this loses a star is that sometimes randomly, when filling close, but never over, the maximum line, the milk does sometimes leak slightly out of the machine. Luckily it only happens very occasionally but it’s still annoying when it happens.
Wonderful. My second although I,really hope that it lasts better than the previous one which just managed a year.
This item is fantastic. Its built like a kettle. I have put coffee granules (dissolve them in a tiny bit of hot water) nutella/chocolate syrup, and choc powder. Foams up lovely. Probably not manufacturer recommended but i add a tiny drop of fairy liquid with a bit less than half of the fill level of warm water and set it on a heat&froth spin to clean.
Pros – Can make amazing hot chocolate / latte / mocha.
Lots of foam
Good temperature (for hot coffee I would add some boiled water)
Simple design relatively easy to clean.
Great cost considering price.
Cons – although it is a very simple design inside and easy to clean in theory, I would have preferred that the cup part of the device was removable and dishwasher safe.
I bought this as a gift and it has gone down a treat, recommended
Very good – even bog standard instant coffee tastes good with a blanket of frothy milk over it.
A word of caution, the froth acts as insulation so even if you forget about it for ten minutes, then take a sip, it is still scalding hot!
Does exactly what you would want. Perfect temperature, froths nicely, easy to clean.
I love this. Got it cold milk in a few minutes l.
Easy to clean, no more scrubbing saucepans
But it you won’t regret i
This is a very nice solution to a problem you don’t have. That said it’s much less faff that heating milk in a pan, easy to clean and does the job very well with no drama.
A great little milk frother..whilst your fluffing about with your bean to cup grinding machine, your milk is happily spinning around in your milk frothing heating jug. It’s more convenient than the steamer and as quiet as a mouse too, unlike the Sage steaming wand. Would recommend, naturally.
Great for heating milk and other liquids as advertised. The cooling function is unique and handy in warmer climates. Easy to clean and handle.
Expensive yes, but it just works everytime and is a pleasure to use and easy to clean. Having tried a number of poor hand held or battery products including a bodum, this one is just brilliant.
Really pleased best froth is on a 2 cup but it’s done quickly while you make the coffee and easy to clea
I like this item but as an ex-professional barista and coffee shop owner I’d suggest that you should not consider it capable of producing the silky smooth, sweet milk that you can get from a top notch shop. It certainly works well enough and for most people it’ll do the job intended, which is all you can ask I suppose. I have found that if you cut it off a little early and only fill to around 1.5cm below the maximum line then you get best results. You will need to experiment a little as different milk will need slightly different approach. But I’m nit-picking. Running it through its own cycle will produce too much foam atop the rest of hot milk and it is really over-heated in my view so you get that slight burnt taste. Some may like this, like a cappuccino style almost. It’s brilliant how it works and it’s easy to set up and keep clean. Had it been around 35 I’d give it 5***** but can’t really find it in myself to go that far at the actual cost.
This is so good I bought one for my daughter in law as well! Now the grandchildren can have their Babychinos at home with ease and my husband doesn’t boil his milk over.
After buying several coffee machine’s and them breaking down or very expensive to buy the pods, I bought this a jar of expresso coffee, and make my own lattes and cappuccino, so much easier and so much cheaper, just remember to clean stright away.
Bought as a present for Christmas. Own one myself. A very good product, have owned mine for 2.5 years and always delivers nice hot milk for my coffee! Personally, I think for the price, one of the best. Also very easy to clean!
Tried a few frothers, and they tend to suffer from one (or more) of the following:
1. Wrong temperature milk (generally too hot, latte’s are not supposed to be boiled!)
2. Not enough/too much froth
3. Milk burning on the bottom
I’m pleased to say this manages to avoid all three, producing milk at just about the right temperature (some may find this cold, particularly if they are looking for non-coffee related milk heating – but I find it’s perfect), the cappuccino mode produces a good amount of froth, but far from excessive (about a 10-15% froth layer), and cleaning wise it’s fantastic – the magnetic whisk is much easier to get in and out, and doesn’t lose it’s hold. There’s no burnt milk – a little sticks, but can genuinely be wiped clean. A word of caution: Even though it’s only a bit, wipe clean after every use, don’t be tempted to make two in a row – once the none stick has gone, frothers becomes a nightmare.
I spent ages with a seam milk frother trying to get perfect frothy milk (non-dairy too) and each time I ended up with nasty diluted hot, slightly frothy milk. The brilliant thing about this Dualit Milk Frother is that it creates perfect frothy milk, using any milk (dairy or non-dairy), very quickly and very quietly and as it is automatic, you cen get on with making your coffee while it works. If has a little whisk thing at the bottom of the “cup” which seems to be powered magnetically, in any case it works really well. You can make either frothy milk or just hot milk, which is especially good to prevent soya milk curdling in coffee. It is easy to clean, although I would recommend that you wash it out straight away as the milk can get gummy if left.
I definitely recommend this product.
Easy to use. Fantastic results. Remember to clean it out immediately after each use and I am sure you too will be happy with this produc
Was looking for a milk frother for a while, decided due to previous reviews to pay a little more and get this one, was not disappointed! I use this daily, brilliant!!
i brought my milk frothed to India. I am aware tha the frother works best for skimmed milk. I tried it with long life slim milk. This did not work. Works like a dream with powdered skimmed milk.
A gift for our daughter. Her children were delighted and very excited too!! All well. Arrived when it said. Does what it says. Excellent and makes delicious drinks
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! Very easy to use and clean. I prefer to use it on the hot milk setting, as it froths just as I like it.
This is a very good product and would recommend it to anyone looking to get a great coffee or hot chocolate!
Ok, for the least 6 years maybe I went through about 6 various Aerolatte handheld wizzy whisk. They all broke eventually, I had enough. Time to Invest in this beauty.Read so many great reviews on amazon etc..
(got mine in JL, guaranteed 2 yrs at John Lewis):)
What do I love about it: everything.
– SILENT, EASY WAY OF FROTHING MILK : YOU POUR HOW MUCH MILK YOU NEED, PUT LID ON AND PRESS PLAY:) READY BEFORE YOU EVEN GOT KETTLE TO BOIL, AND CUPS READY. I use a silicone mini-spatula (for brushing egg on tarts) if froth is left at bottom, but give a swirl when lid still on, before pouring and it won’t stay inside so much.
– EASY TO CLEAN> WHEN FROTH IS USED, PUT SOME WATER IN IT IF YOU DON’T WANT TO WASH UP STRAIGHTAWAY SO IT’S EASIER TO CLEAN LATER. TAKE OUT WHEEL. POUR OUT WATER IN SINK (CAREFULLY) AND WITH SOFT SPONGE CLEAN INSIDE IN 2 STROKES. DONE. NO NEED FOR ANY CLEANING LIQUIDS. WIPE WITH MICROFIBER CLOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE TO KEEP IT BLACK AND SMEAR-FREE.:)
– NO BATTERIES NEEDED
– I USE COLD SEMI SKIMMED MILK CRAVENDALE. The best froth is when Using not to the maximum. But I recommend also for Hot chocolates too but you may need 2 trips to do 2 people’s cups.
-MOST IMPORTANTLY THIS MAKES A BEAUTIFUL HOT FROTH. I use 2 to 3 times a day:) My kettle is the SMART KETTLE SAGE. Sage by Heston Blumenthal the Smart Kettle, 1.7 Litre, 3000 Watt Well worht the extra too.
I am keeping my receipt as sometimes even good products can break, but hopefully it won’t.
I have just bought this milk throther after extensive research and I have to say it is fantastic. It makes drinking a cup of coffee much more enjoyable. It is very quick and switches itself off when ready. I can’t praise it enough and would definitely recommend buying it. Compared to other makes it is very reasonable too.

I don’t know how the frother works so well in such a short period of time to get even skimmed milk into such a frothed state. It takes less than a minute and works by means of a little plastic magnetic rotator in the bottom of the jug area (which is only half the depth of the outside appearance of the frother to allow for the motor in the bottom of the jug) and is lined with satin metal so that it is easy to clean. It makes a quiet hum when it is working and has frothed milk by the time I’ve got the expresso or filter ready – in fact often before ! You can make enough for a latte and a cappucino or just about two lattes (pending size of cup) with the quantity it will froth by putting milk under a maximum line drawn inside. When heating, the outside of the jug doesn’t get hot so it must be well insulated. Although the rotating disc frother comes out easily for washing, the aluminium lining does not detach from the jug so can’t be put into a dishwasher or immersed which is a draw back I think. I feel I have to be careful with it when cleaning it and rinse it immediately after use. The rotating disc thing rinses easily in washing up water and the push on, transparent lid is a snug fit without being too tight and that cleans OK. I had problems with the deliverers DPD but not with the product. The choice for me was a jug frother or a steam frother. The jury is out. Steam frothers require cleaning too in domestic model coffee machines and the advantage with this is that the milk is frothing whilst the expresso is being made, reducing the standing- and- holding- the- jug time after making the expresso for a steam machine. Of course it is great for hot chocolates or hot milk drinks.
As stated above, this is the best Milk Warmer/Frother we have had (out of 3 others of a similar price) perfect every time even with skimmed milk!
I am delighted with this product . It is simple to use-well designed and works very well. I have now bought another!
