Title: One of the best purchases I've made in the past year
Review: For years, I would visit our local coffee house each day and order a latte; not because their coffee was good, I had coffee beans at home that tasted much better than what they were serving, but because my milk never came out as frothy and creamy as theirs did.Over the years I tried to figure out the tricks to a perfect frothy drink. I read multiple websites about how to froth just right using the steamer on the machine, and while that helped, the milk still wasn't great. Then I found a small milk frother, which, if I ran it for 3 times (about 5 minutes), until the frother was so hot that the machine was close to overheating, would actually give me warm (not hot) frothy milk.When I first read about the Breville Milk Frother, I had actually given up hope of finding a reasonably priced frother that actually worked. And for that reason, I almost didn't order this one. But, the knowledge that I could make enough hot milk for 4 people at a time and the idea of being able to actually control the temperature finally convinced me that it was worth trying.Now, I can't imagine not having it. With 2 teens at home we go through a LOT of milk (probably a half gallon a day). All of us enjoy a drink in the morning, whether it's an espresso latte, hot tea latte, or hot chocolate. If we're all drinking the same thing, we can make enough for everyone at once, instead of making the drinks one at a time. And, depending on the setting, the milk can be the perfect temperature to give to a child or hot enough to burn your tongue (and that's not even at the highest setting).A few lessons we've learned:● Put the milk (and any other liquids) in and turn it on, then add any non-liquids (sugar, chocolate powder, tea leaves, etc).● Chocolate needs to be grated or powdered - chocolate chips do not work well because they start melting and keep the frothing gear from spinning (courtesy of son #1).● Tea leaves and a little vanilla and sugar added to the milk make a delicious tea latte. I recommend using a tea strainer to pour the milk through once the frother stops.● If you don't have tea leaves, a couple tea bags will work, but either remove the strings or hold down the strings with the frother lid, so that the strings can't catch around the frothing gear.● A Parmesan cheese grater works wonderfully for grating chocolate - which gives you a large choice of chocolates to try in your hot chocolate. (Our favorite is a spicy chili chocolate - Yummy!)● The frother is very quiet unless you add something that causes the frothing gear to stop spinning (which you'll know instantly because it suddenly gets very loud). Often, stopping the frother (by pressing and holding the start button for a couple seconds) and restarting will get it spinning again and as soon as the milk heats enough to liquefy the ingredients (like the chocolate chips mentioned above), the grinding will stop.● The cup is solid metal and separates completely from the bottom gears, making it super easy to clean.● The top of the lid has a built in, removable measuring cup which comes in handy when you're adding ingredients to the milk.● Make sure you have the frothing gear that you want *before* you pour your milk in (there are 2, one makes creamier milk and the other makes frothy milk. If you like froth, you'll be happy, it works incredibly well.● If you let the frothy milk sit for maybe a minute before pouring, the froth rises to the top, making it easy to pour the hot milk into your drink, the spoon the froth on top. Otherwise, it comes out as a free pour, with frothy bubbles mixed into the milk. Both are yummy, so it's entirely your preference which you like best. :)This is my first Breville product, but going by both the design and the quality, I'll definitely be buying more from them. In fact, I'm eyeing their espresso maker for my next purchase.

Title: Foams almond milk beautifully!
Review: I scoured the internet looking for a way to foam almond milk, and found a lot of discouragement. Some people say you flat out can't do it, some people say you have to buy expensive "barista" type almond milk...I am here to tell you that you can foam almond milk with this appliance. With a few important notes, it is easy!First, the brand matters. I have tried two: Almond Breeze (success!), Silk (no foam!). That doesn't meant there aren't other brands that will foam -- I didn't bother trying since I have been able to get Almond Breeze during the pandemic.Second, you must "age" the almond milk appropriately. If it is new from the store, with an expiration date 3 months hence, it foams but the foam is looser and not as voluminous. I "age" it in my fridge and have found that if the expiration date is 1 - 2 months away, I get the clouds of microfoam I love! I haven't experimented to get more precise about how "old" the almond milk needs to be. For example, today is July 17 and this morning's almond milk with an expiration date of August 25th foamed beautifully.Third, the almond milk must be cold.Fourth, you have to shake the almond milk pretty well in the container before pouring it into the jug.The pictures I attached are of almond milk, heated and foamed using the cappuccino disk at the bottom of the jug.I have had this appliance for two years, and I absolutely love it. I foam/heat almond milk for hot cafe au lait every morning, and foam cold almond milk for iced latte every afternoon. I have also used it for cow's milk (skim, cold) and it does a great job -- super easy to use (put jug into base, pour in milk, put on lid, turn dial and press button), easy to clean, and so on -- but for almond milk it truly shines. I get beautiful voluminous microfoam (I like a lot of foam in my coffee drinks!). I have also added flavor sometimes -- a little bit of cinnamon or almond syrup-- and that blends up nicely.The best things about this appliance are (1) that it works with almond milk; (2) that it makes the microfoam I love, without the dilution from a steam wand (yes I know that dilution would be my fault, but I never mastered the steam wand); and (3) how easy it is to clean. Sour milk that clings in crevices is just...gross. The jug is stainless steel and can go in the dishwasher (but I just give it a good rinsing after using it each time). The tiny foamer disk in the bottom lifts right out -- there's no place for a drop of milk to hide and go sour.I have a lot of coffee gadgets that are more complicated to use or to clean after use, and have often found myself thinking "It's not worth the bother". There's no hesitation to use this because it's so easy to use, and easy to clean. Truly zero bother. I respect those true coffee connoisseurs who will labor for their daily cup; I am not one of them, and I am very very happy with this purchase.

Title: Simply perfect
Review: I got this for making tea lattes like I usually order from my tea shop, and it has been perfect for that purpose. I simply brew my tea stronger than normal in my French press (I use between 3 and 4 times the amount normally called for) and then I froth my milk using this frother. I'm impressed with how close it tastes to what I normally order out!I've been impressed with this milk frother. Yes, at the time of writing this review the price can be a bit of a splurge, but the experience is great and gives so much to love. I love that there are a lot of aspects you can control. This offers a range of temperatures to choose from as well as both cappuccino and latte options depending on the amount of froth you like. There's also a good range of flexibility with the amount of milk you can froth. For me, the minimum amount is perfect for a single drink for one. (I serve my tea lattes in latte mugs and the capacity is perfect.) But it's also nice to have the option to make drinks for more than one person. It's also neat that this can be used for making hot chocolate.I also love how quick this is to use. It's fast and easy to use this while I'm brewing my tea for the latte.The ease of cleaning and option to put the jug in the top rack of the dishwasher is also awesome. I also appreciate the look of this. The design is sleek and well made and consistent with what I've come to expect with Breville.I'm also hopeful for the longevity of this based on my other experiences with the Breville brand. Other than an immersion blender I got a few years back that was a dud, my Breville juicer and blender have been awesome and going strong.I don't know if I could love this more. Yes, it's a bit of a splurge but if you like to make drinks with frothed milk at home it is well worth it.

Review: I freaking love this thing.The large capacity makes it so I only have to heat milk once to make a coffee that fills my larger than average coffee mugs.I love that the stirring attachment is completely separate from the frothing attachment and there is a spot on the back of the base to hold whichever you aren’t using so you don’t put it to the used somewhere and lose or accidentally throw it away.The temperature control is awesome.It’s amazingly easy to clean, I’ve never had it scald milk to the heating pot/container so there’s no heavy duty scrubbing needed to clean it, just a rinse under the tap and it’s good to go. Since the base and the heating pitcher are separate pieces, you can get a good clean without worrying about accidentally damaging the electronics.Is it expensive in comparison to other milk frothers? Yes.Does it meet every requirement I need in a milk frother? Yes.Does the convenience and quality it provides make it worth the price? Hell yes.

Review: This produces the best foam of any frother we've tried- and there's been a few! Too soon to comment on how long it lasts, but the fact it's dishwasher safe is super handy. Also nice that it froths so efficiently you can use much less milk
