Editorial Review

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

Summary:Amazing!
Comment:

I was skeptical about how well this device would actually froth milk, but the answer is "perfectly!" I frothed milk and poured it into my coffee... it had more froth than cappuccinos I get from Starbucks & DD. Definitely worth the money.

Works great for mixing coco powder with milk to make rich creamy coco. Creates a lot of froth. Make sure to use batteries with the correct voltage 1.5v because using weaker ones will decrease power. The stand is a great protection and it takes up very little space.

Summary:Weak frother, overpriced, get the one from Ikea for $3 instead
Comment:

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.

Summary:Much better than other frothers! Definitely worth the money.
Comment:

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!

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.
