This milk frothier is super easy to use. You just have to push a button and your milk gets done in about 30 seconds. It also evenly froths your milk and makes your lattes delicious!! I love it because it’s the best milk frothier that I’ve ever had so far!

As advertised.

This is a bit expensive, but the foam it produces is much better than the typical wand style frother. The foam is very dense and creamy, and it is even better than the typical steamed type you get at Starbucks, as once you start adding sugar and stirr the foam basically goes away. Not so with the foam produced by this machine, the foam is dense and stays. The stainless steel is easy to clean whether handwashing or in dishwasher, and its BPA free.

I love espressos, coffee, lattes. I work in the service industry and got this for the restaurant I work at because I thought some of the servers who struggle with the technique of making a quality foam, could really benefit from this. I like coffee but I’m not a barista; I don’t know all the technical stuff so I’ll try to keep this review simple.
The machine is very easy to use and intuitive, plug it in and press the button to turn it on.. you have 2 options.. foam, or warm milk.
Foam means you use the rubbed magnetic wheel and fill it to the first mark. Hot milk means you use the smooth magnetic wheel and use the second. The foam produced is very good, dense and not runny. The hot milk is VERY hot.
Only downside I experienced; While it may be commercial quality as far as where and how it’s made, how durable the steel is, etc.. within the first day, it was very easy to rinse the canister during service and accidentally have some moisture on it before going to use it again. It wouldn’t turn on because of it sensing moisture on the outside. The wheels, while magnetized, and there’s a spot for them to hold on to the unit itself, was not strong enough. Wiping the unit down sent the wheel flying under equipment. It’s a very nice machine, but with the wheels having to be changed for whether you want hot milk or froth, and these pieces being easily lost, I’m not sure that it was very well thought out for commercial use.
However, it’s a delight to use at home and is everything the average consumer would want and then some. Good results, but with the capacity at hand, you’re doing 1 drink at a time.. which isn’t great for a commercial setting, but it’s very nice for a unit at home. A bit pricy, but the brand has a fine track record of engineering quality coffee goods in Germany.. you’re paying a little more for quality.
All in all, I think it’s a great option for someone who takes their lattes and cappuccinos seriously and wants a quiet, refined unit that produces professional results at the touch of a button.

First of all, the instructions are not only in English, but they’re understandable. The machine works like a dream, is easy to use and to clean, and looks good. It has a good, heavy base so tipping isn’t a hazard. The magnetic stirrer and warmer are magnetic, which is really handy; and there is a place for them on the outside of the unit when not in use. The froth is so fine that it’s actually left over after a leisurely cup of coffee! Add a dash of cinnamon and you’ve just skipped the time and expense of a fancy coffee shop. This is not a toy, it’s a professional-grade quality instrument.

I got excited when I saw this as it’s Tchibo who are renowned for their premium coffee machines and coffee shops in Germany and Europe. I had high expectations!
The box this arrived in looks slick and premium. I was surprised by the size and heft to it. This is not a small milk frother, it’s almost as large a kettle! The actual measuring jug that sits inside is smaller than you would expect given the size of the base. There are two measurements marked on the inside, one smaller quantity for foam, and the other larger for warm milk. For my purposes I needed the foam effect for my espresso in the morning.
This machine does work and takes around 3 minutes to heat and foam milk. I find the end result very lackluster, there is very little foam! I use 2% milk so perhaps that is the reason behind it. That being said my espresso machine does have a steam wand and 2% milk turns out perfectly. This is induction based with no steam, so maybe I need to change milk. Other reviews seem very positive so perhaps it is just me being very picky.
At the current price, I’m on the fence as to whether this is good value or not.

A quality induction milk frothier with a nice matte stainless-steel finish that is dishwasher safe is just what I was looking for. The nonslip bottom and look are a well-received addition to our kitchen counter. It is also easily stored. The fact that it froths both hot and cold milk and milk products is a plus. I found the instructions professionally written and the process to be easy, taking only about 60 seconds. 16.9 oz is plenty for a couple cups of morning coffee. The auto shutoff is also a nice feature. I have used only 2 percent milk and was hoping for more froth than produced. My guess is that whole milk would improve the texture of the froth.

I recently purchased an espresso machine and I don’t have the coordination to use the steam wand. So I’ve been testing out a several milk foamer(s) to fine the one that works best for me. This is it! I love the base is heavy and I’m not likely to knock it over. (Or my cats when they decide to see if I left milk in it!) I also like that the insert spinner wheel is magnetic and sticks in pretty well. That being said it can come out if you shake the pitcher too hard. (I have nerve damage in my hands the magnetic part really helps.) The milk pitcher itself can also go into the dishwasher, but you might wanna do a quick scrub because the milk protein can cook on the inside and leave a film.

Electric Frother is a no-brainer.
This frother towers above the others in looks and capacity. An induction heating system allows it to reach temperature rapidly, efficiently and consistently every time. There is also a cold froth setting.You can make hot chocolate for several people at a time by simply adding chocolate powder to the warming milk. The stainless-steel jug can also be placed in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. This machine will give you everything you want and the froth is perfect every time.
It’s a good size and doesn’t take up much counter space. Perfect for daily foam and it’s both dense and light. Love this and it’s a great gift also.

This is an excellent addition to my coffee routine. It effortlessly creates both hot and cold milk froth with a simple touch button. The automatic switch-off function is a great safety feature, and the 16.9 oz capacity is perfect for making multiple servings. I love that it’s dishwasher-safe, making cleanup a breeze.
