Bodum Bistro Electric Milk Frother, 13.5 Ounce, Black

I was away for work for two weeks and was spoiled by my morning cappuccino. When I came home I was using my little hand wisk but those really aren’t made for daily use so I went to the good old internet and googled best frothers. This was one of the suggestions that came up. I was split between a few but with this I decided to pull the trigger because of the sleek design and dishwasher safe pieces. So far I’m happy. As others have noted it’s a noisy little machine but it gets the job done and with significantly more foam than I was getting with my hand held. It’s nice to set it and walk away and it works while my single serve coffee maker is also brewing. I had some trouble with the hot chocolate function. I put in a packet of coca mix with milk and it exploded. I never read the directions on that so maybe I’m not supposed to make coca that way. I have not used the cold frother function but I don’t anticipate using cold foam anyway. I typically use skim or 1% milk and I combine that with some flavored creamer. Haven’t had any issues with the frother with this combo. I don’t know if it will stand the test of time but for right now I’m happy with the purchase. Does the job, small footprint and cute. *Edit November 2025* Just stopped frothing. Still warms and spins but no longer creates froth. It’s just a paperweight. For the amount of use this thing saw (used maybe 20 times) it shouldn’t have broke.

Works as described.

A good frother . Came with a two pinned plug . Hence only four stars ! Still kept it tho

12o Volts I figured it out the hard way

I LOVED this frother when I first got it. My brother had one and I liked his so I bought the same. I love how it makes the milk a creamy froth, not too bubbly like others. I like the ability to make warm or cold frothy milk. I use the hot chocolate setting as well. But now, only 8 months later, it is making a terrible rumbling/grinding sound, and it starts to stir but then quits a few seconds later. At this price I expect it to work years, not months. I’m very disappointed. Maybe mine is just faulty, but I don’t want to buy another if it’s not gonna last longer.
