If your espresso maker doesn’t froth milk, you can still make creamy lattes and cappuccinos with this hand-held frother from BonJour. Simply insert the stainless-steel wire disc into a tall glass one-third full of cold milk (the health conscious will be pleased to know that nonfat milk works best), press and hold the on button, and in seconds the milk will froth to more than twice its volume. The milk can then be heated in a microwave and the espresso or coffee added. A wire stand keeps the frother handily located and displayed--its ergonomically designed handle with non-slip accents is quite eye-catching. Measuring 10 inches in overall length, the frother requires two AA batteries (not included), and should be washed gently by hand. --Ann Bieri

Weak frother, overpriced, get the one from Ikea for $3 instead
»
I've been looking for a good frother to make my Greek Frappe coffee. I got this for Christmas and I'd have to say it's SLOW. I had bought a different frother from Ikea for $3 and that one spins so much faster and stronger than this one (don't use Ikea batteries). So save your money. Other notes: the stand is so lite that it falls over when removing it, the unit itself looks cool but that's it. I recommend buying one that uses 4 batteries instead or just get the cheap one from Ikea.

Much better than other frothers! Definitely worth the money.

Before purchasing this frother I had a frother from the Dollar Tree and then the bodum frother. The Bodum frother did a decent job but it was a bit flimsy and broke after a few months. The froth that it made also tended to `melt' into your coffee.
This frother is very sturday and makes amazing froth. I have had it for about a year and half now and use it at least 5 times per week. It makes wonderful froth that stands up on its own.
To get the best froth, pour a small amount of cold, skim milk into a tall narrow glass. Froth for a few seconds and the milk will double in volume. Place it in the microwave for 30 seconds and it will further increase in volume. It does not disappear in your coffee!

Great But Fragile
»
I love this little frother. When my mocha went over $4 I got this and have been using it for a couple of years. But I think the design is flawed. The plastic into which the handle inserts after replacing batteries began to chip and finally one broke away. It may be that I didn't push both buttons in each time and thus put pressure on one of them. But it was the end of my beloved frother.

Froth Happy!

This little gadget makes owning a cappuccino maker obsolete and over the top! So easy and surprisingly no problems after 2 years of making frothed milked for my coffee. Why bother having another large appliance around when this nifty item costs a lot less and takes up practically no space? I am ordering another one for my friend who has lived in Europe, wants her lattes, but doesn't want to bother getting her espresso machine out. It's the perfect little gift!

It pays for itself in 4-5 uses

This is so much better than spending $4+ on lattes at coffee shops. I can make a great cup of coffee at home. What a treat to not have to get up and out of the house just for coffee I thought could only be made with a big fancy machine. I love it and want to get it as gifts for everyone I know who likes coffee (or even steamed milk)!
