IKEA PRODUKT Milk Frother 303.011.67, Black, Pack of 1

I purchased this to replace my $20 Aerolatte that met its untimely demise when my well-meaning 8 year-old threw into a sink full of water.This milk frother does exactly what it says it does- it creates a beautiful silky foam on the top of your beverage. I use this for my almond and hemp milk hot chocolates and chais. One could use it easily on animal-based milks; because of the fat content animal-based milks they form thicker more velvety foam anyway. This product works on all kinds of milk. It is NOT a steam wand though- it just creates foam. In the absence of a steam wand, I heat my drink of choice on my stove top and then finish it by sticking this frother into the cup and turning it on. You can use it at the top, slightly beneath the surface (to avoid splattering) or you can plunge it down to the middle. Either way will create beautiful foam.Please note that this is an Ikea product that sells for about $3 in the store. Our nearest Ikea is an hour away, so I chose to pay the extra $4 to avoid driving two hours total for a $3 product.It does have a cheaper feel than the Aerolatte, which is most noticeable when you're sliding the button down to turn it on, but because you only use it for a few seconds at a time it doesn't bother me.

This is a cheap, functional and effective tool for frothing milk for making Latte.I use a Gaggia Classic expresso machine which does have an attached steam wandfor frothing milk, but its easier to use this IKEA electric (battery) device (a kind ofwhipper, and easier to keep clean) rather than using the steam wand. The IKEA frotheris a cheap alternative to the similar but fancier and more expensive Aerolattefrother. These devices wear out after a few years of daily use, and need replacing fromtime to time The cheap IKEA one is a good choice.A real barista would probably frown at using this "shortcut" to milk froth for Latte, but I like using it.

Item don't work i put like 3 different batteries

I don't live near an IKEA but kept seeing folks recommend this frother, so decided to give it a try. It works reasonably well at frothing milk, no complaints about its functionality. It starts to feel weak if you're frothing more than about 6oz of milk, but it seems to perform fine if you froth larger amounts for a longer time. The on/off switch feels loose, and it's very difficult to insert batteries due to the hinge on the battery case. I'm happy to use this one as long as it continues to work, but I'm already considering replacing it with a different brand at some point strictly due to the awful battery case.

This is a workhorse of a frother! When I first received it, I thought it looked and felt cheaply made. The black plastic felt cheaper than most toys you would find at the dollar store. However, do not let the weight or materials of this frother dissuade you from purchasing it. The frother is a powerhouse and can work for a long time! It easily blends and froths milks, powders etc. I use it to mix powdered chocolates into milks, blend matcha for tea, froth for my cappuccinos, cornstarch into water, even for mixing powdered mixes for gravy and such! This is an essential in a well stocked kitchen. It don't take ,cut space and uses AA batteries. The batteries take a very long time to die too, as I have yet to replace them!

Too delicate for me. Simple design: In order for it to turn, the thin metal rod goes through a hidden rubber gasket in the opening into a tiny hole in the case that holds the batteries (Case is tight and batteries are aggravating to insert). The metal rod has to be exactly straight and tightly in the hole in the center or it won't make contact. Because of the rubber gasket, the opening has plenty of room for the rod to move around and come out of the hole In fact, when it came out of the package it was loose in the opening and crooked. Then the rubber gasket became crooked and blocked the tiny hole so away it went. When it worked, it worked well (thus the three stars) but too temperamental..

This IKEA Milk Frother works great! I recently purchased a Nespresso machine and the only thing missing from my morning espresso and almond milk combo was a foamy top layer. I used the frother this morning and it made my coffee perfect! It tasted like it came from a coffee shop. If you like lattes or cappuccinos, I totally recommend you buy some kind of espresso machine and a frother, and you won't have to spend $5 on a coffee every morning.One last thing--this IKEA product is available at a lower price from IKEA's online store (and I'm assuming their brick and mortar stores as well). However, if you don't live near an IKEA like me, it is cheaper to buy it from Amazon if you have Prime because shipping alone would have been $10 from IKEA.

Love Love it so inexpensive and works great my sister had one, that she made me a latte with I was so impressed I bought one at the same time my sister gave me one as a gift, so I gave mine to my daughter she loves it. Went to visit my son took mine with me for my morning coffee. My daughter in law and son were impressed with how it worked and cleaned compared to there expensive one, I just froth and hold under running water to wash. Needless to say I had Amazon send one to my son and his wife so I am a real return customer on this one
