breaks down and blends into water, fats. Terrific!
As far as foamers and frothers go, particularly handheld ones with built in batteries, this is the very best I have found in 5+ years of looking. I only make one drink in the mornings, a homemade bullet proof coffee. I use coconut oil, butter, mct oil, sacred 7 mushroom extract and sometimes, collagen powder. And I have a favorite mug for it. No frother or foamers before this one would result in fully blended oils. Some made a little foam, but the oils always sat up top, partially broken apart. This is the best foamer I’ve found yet

Super strong. Great for Protein shakes. Can easily blend it.
Very strong and Durable hand blender. I used it almost daily for Pre-workout for the gym, and when I get home to mix/make my protein Shakes. Even after daily use the battery last over 2 weeks on a single charge. also even after blending protein shakes, it manages to not have a smell. Protein shakes are notorious for making all you bottle and blenders smell nasty, but not this. Ya not the cheapest one out there but clearly the best and most reliable.

Want foam!
Overall a well made product and does the job better than the others. Not just for coffee and milks, but can use for cocktail foams & other drinks Pro- - Sleek - Easy to hold and use, less risk of slipping with the flat sides. - Powerful foaming action, will make foam easily from cold and hot liquids. (that are meant to foam) - Its rechanagble, say that again with me rechargeable. Last weeks used every other day for 3 weeks before I had to charge using 30 sec a day- - Very portable to bring camping or to a weekend getaway. - Easy to clean Cons- - Unitasker Other- - Will not fully replace a milk steamer but will make your milk nicer when its messed up. - Not really going to make latte art foam with this easily. - The protective storage tube over a long time or heavy usage will wear down and become loose. ** Would highly recommend for any foam beverage lover. Makes a great relatively inexpensive gift.

So close to being fantastic. Instead, truly awful.
Fantastic milk, for a brief time. It will break. Quickly. The shaft falls out of alignment, and the fix is to talk to their chat, that sends you to buy a part they don’t sell any longer. Should you be lucky enough to be able to purchase said part, there’s a better than average chance you’ll break your foamer in process of the repair permanently. If I could give 0 stars I would. If you feel the need to charge this amount for a foamer, it should last longer than a few months of a coffee a day. If I had to give a positive, I believe in the time I’ve owned it, I’ve charged it twice. So, great battery life?

Best one I've tried - updated.
Update 7/2025: dropped one star. The frother is excellent when it works. That’s the problem. I’ve replaced the plastic impeller at least 5 times. They are available on the Subminimal website and they are relatively inexpensive but I now consider them to be a consumable commodity item and keep a few on hand. They break right where the impeller screws onto the shaft. You might get small bits of plastic in your drink or the impeller might just drop off as a unit. I’ve noticed that to be a complaint other reviewers have as well. I’ve also replaced the impeller shaft a couple of times. That’s pretty much on me as I’ve knocked it over/dropped it. Having said that, the pin the shaft rides on is pretty thin and could/should be beefier. Mine is bent now and the thing vibrates a lot and I’m going to have to replace the frother. Trying to decide if I’ll replace with another Subminimal this time. In short, it’s a great frother with two drawbacks. Disposable parts and fairly easily damaged. At 2x the price of the cheap units, you’ll need to decide how many cheap units you’d go through to justify the price of this one. Original review: I've gone through several frothers. A couple just stopped working after a while. Others had shafts that bent when I dropped them and were never the same - totally my fault for dropping them but it was still disappointing. The shaft on this is much sturdier and it makes pretty good foam. I've also dropped this one a few times and the only damage sustained is the impeller cracked at the thread cap. Just ordered a new one. Still works but I'm going to replace it to avoid getting plastic shards in my coffee. I could have epoxied it but I also don't want epoxy chips in my coffee. Anyway, I suppose the big question anyone reading this would like answered is this: Would you buy this product again? Yes. Yes, I would. You should too. Then we could start a club.

requires a lot of practice, but very powerful
been practicing with hot chocolate to make latte art...haven't quite gotten to the point where i can pour anything yet, but the nanofoamer is very powerful. i have to use the weaker setting, just to not make a mess everywhere, and even then, it doesn't work out as nicely as i'd like. making bubbles is easy...not making bubbles while mixing it together is a problem for me sometimes. it's probably my technique, but sometimes it parts the milk away so powerfully, it exposes the screen, despite being almost to the bottom of the pitcher. again, probably just need more practice. before this, i had 0 milk frothing experience, btw. my foam also seems to float on the top and not get mixed well when i try to pour, although, that may have more to do with my swirling technique after everything settled (and maybe taking too long before starting the swirl), or not incorporating the air bubbles for long enough. although i haven't really gotten it down yet, it does foam up nicely and is very fluffy, like marshmallow. clean up is pretty easy. you can add a little bit of dishsoap to a clean up of water (ideally, wash the inside of your pitcher if you're going to use that) and run it for a little while. use a sponge to wash the shaft and after rinsing it, run it for a few seconds to fling all the water off. no need to submerge anything in water (especially the port) i charged it when i got it, and although i haven't used it every night, it hasn't dropped from full yet. i would've liked to see some sort of cover for the button when you put the cover on. right now the button is exposed after you cover it, and since the cover also holds the other screen, i imagine accidentally pressing the button wouldn't be great. although i still have to get around the learning curve, i enjoy using it.

Works, but temper your expectations
Does this compete with a double boiler espresso machine? No. Is this better than the french press method of making foam. Absolutely. I had another countertop frother that died after a couple years use. While this doesn't heat the milk, it does make a reasonable foam (although not exactly microfoam). It is a good middle ground and can be recharged which is a nice feature.

Best foamer on market but reliability is 50-50
I am now on my 2nd foamer. The first one lasted about 6 months then just one day would not turn on. I bought the 2nd one back on Feb 2 of 2026 and today uis March 11. It won't hold a charge and only works sporadically while being plugged in. I was able to get a refund last night. However, when this foamer works, it works. It does a superior job compared to the other wire foamers on the market. I am going to purchase my third one and buy the protection plan. Hopefully this one lasts a while, but I should probably know better..........

Reassuringly Expensive!
I couldn’t actually believe I paid more than £50 for what is essentially a scientifically more advanced milk whisk. However I have realised, since it arrived, how it is worth every penny of its premium cost. I have owned many many different milk frothing products in the 15+ years I’ve owned a Nespresso coffee machine and enjoyed making premium quality lattes - from simple electric whisks to auto-frothing heating jugs and aerocinnos, and none of them have foamed milk to the same quality as this excellent little device. I bit the bullet and bought the rechargeable model as it is more powerful than the battery powered version and has 2 speeds, which the battery one doesn’t. It comes with 2 filters - fine and superfine. Both produce fantastically foamy milk, even from skimmed milk, that makes velvety smooth lattes that are way better than any store bought latte I’ve ever had. I prefer the smaller microbubbles produced by the superfine screen, the taste is so smooth and velvety it’s almost beyond belief. As a Yorkshireman, I’m primarily a tea drinker, but since I got my nanofoamer I’ve hardly touched tea at all - which is high praise for this device indeed. Shares in Yorkshire Tea will plunge as a result!!! I drink hot chocolate at night to limit my caffeine intake, and this too has been majorly improved by nanofoamed milk. The yum factor is off the scale!!! It’s easy to use, easy to clean and the battery lasts a good long while. I haven’t regretted buying this premium device once since I first used it, as the quality beverage it helps create is beyond anything I’ve previously had. It’s pricey but, by heck, it’s worth every penny! If I could afford it, I’d buy one of these for each of my family and friends so they too could experience the joyous beverage it produces. As I can’t, they’ll just have to settle for enjoying it when they visit… and they’ll doubtless visit more often once they taste my marvellous nanofoamed coffees! Definite two thumbs up for the nanofoamer, a 5 star device if ever there was one.

If you want truly smooth and creamy milk, this is it
This is really amazing, I bought the V2 and it’s not good at all. Anyone is considering, they should go with the Lithium. Even the texture of the milk is so good and creamy, almost cafe quality. Very happy with the purchase.
