Number 1. With closed eyes. It is very easy and does not stick under the foam like the others with the black coating. It supports dense foam, light foam, hot chocolate, and cold foam! All with 1 button. I had an izzy that burned. Luckily, I made the choice for Diana at 40 euros!
Unfortunately, I had the device for over a month when I started using it, so I couldn't return it. From the first moment, I noticed that the milk was sticking and burning on half of the bottom edge. Over time, in my attempt to remove it with a cloth, the burnt milk wouldn't come off, so I eventually used a hard sponge. Needless to say, the bottom got damaged and in 15 days it was useless.... However, the frothed milk in any form was excellent!
Value for money choice. I prefer the hot thick frothed milk which turns out fantastic. It requires good quality and full-fat milk for even better results. The hot chocolate is satisfactory, but the quality of the cocoa you use definitely matters. The cold frothed milk didn't blow me away, but it's not bad. It cleans very easily with water and a sponge, but the trick is to wash it immediately after you pour the frothed milk into the coffee.
I will write a review as a barista, since I have been making coffee on professional machines for quite some time, I decided to get something affordable for home. Obviously, I didn't expect it to reach the quality of a café, but the froth it makes is quite decent. Now, if I want a cappuccino or latte, I can make it in a few minutes at home. The build quality is very good.
Pro tip: don't wait for the program to finish because it makes the milk just foam; I now take it out a little before it automatically shuts off so that it is warm and creamy enough
Because I also have the AEROCCINO from Nespresso, I can say that it does exactly the same job + it has two additional options in functionality. The AEROCCINO has hot cream or cold for freddo, this one gives you two options in between (less cream and simple warming of the milk).
Positive is its price, it is half the cost of the AEROCCINO, but in terms of quality, the AEROCCINO seems to be better built.
Both have exactly the same problem, after use they need to be washed with a sponge because the milk sticks to a small area at the bottom and doesn't come off with a simple rinse.
Top! Don't look any further! I had the Nespresso, and after two years it stopped working. However, this one makes better hot and cold froth and is much more economical
Recent purchase so my opinion is based on a few uses. Good construction and makes nice and rich froth. It has 4 options from thick froth to hot chocolate which I like.
The frother works quite well although I have no experience with other similar devices. I have also made hot chocolate which is very good as well. I haven't tried cold drinks. The big problem and the reason I give it 2 stars is that since the moment I bought it, the milk sticks at the bottom of the device. I always clean it immediately after using it and still have to scrub it with a very hard sponge to get it off. It still hasn't broken after sporadic use for months.
After 4-5 uses, it suddenly stopped working, and after some attempts pressing the button, it started working on its own as soon as I placed it in the base and without changing settings. I haven't even had it for 10 days, and it broke immediately.
Purchased on 2/6/24 and as soon as it got a little chilly and started being used... IT BROKE after a few days of using it, for a hot coffee in the morning and one in the afternoon. Before, I only used it for a cold froth milk and always washed it carefully, upright and without submerging it in water. I woke up to have a coffee in the afternoon and now I have to rush to return it to Kotsovlos, very bad experience. You place it on the base and it starts by itself, you can't choose a program and it doesn't stop, others have mentioned this too. I do not recommend it at all.

In the end, the frother was almost immediately replaced by the store where I bought it, I had to go to the technician to check it and he gave me a paper for replacement. The warranty is again two years from the day of replacement.
Very good froth milk hot and cold, but unfortunately after 6 months it stopped working. The same happened to other acquaintances of mine and unfortunately I didn't know that when I ordered it.
I am a Barista and I bought this frother for my home machine. Excellent device, it makes amazing froth for both hot and cold with the appropriate milk. Preferably Barista Gold for hot and Barista Silver for cold or alternatively Nounou Family. The best choice for home, on vacation for perfect froth. And a tip: when the frothing is done, use circular hand movements to bind the milk more and make it glossy without any bubbles. Easy preparation, easy cleaning without odors, quiet, durable, and quality construction, and of course, it does a great job with froth.
I have it already for 3 months. It's a pretty good milk frother for hot and cold frothy milk, even for chocolate. Just be careful when washing it with the soft surface of the sponge so as not to damage the non-stick surface
Unfortunately, within one month it stopped working, also in one part of the milk frother the milk would stick and it was difficult to clean without a sponge. Nevertheless, it made very good frothed milk and excellent chocolate.
Excellent purchase, very good in its operation and with excellent results.
In terms of construction quality, it falls a little behind compared to the equivalent of the well-known branded series of coffee machines (lighter, thinner aluminum), but if you take care of it and don't drop it, you have nothing to fear.
However, the froth it creates is much better, almost comparable to professional machines, perhaps because it takes a little longer to complete the process.
For one shot of coffee, I fill it up until the spring is covered (careful, not the whole stirrer, just the spring) and it produces velvety froth both in hot and cold milk.
The rule for the quality of the froth is the thicker the milk, the thicker the froth. With a full cup, the froth barely fits.
Most of the time, I use it for hot froth and I never had a problem with the milk sticking. It requires thorough cleaning (careful! only with the yellow sponge, never with the green one) immediately after use, before the milk starts to dry on the walls.
The stirrer fits a little tightly in its slot and requires some attention. It's easy for it not to fit properly and instead of froth, you find the same milk, just a little warmer.
The button is a bit hit 'n miss. There are no lights to tell you which setting you are on, except for the last one (cold froth) which turns blue. You just have to count how many times you have pressed it and leave it on the desired setting.
Overall, a very good purchase.
I am very satisfied with the device! It is very easy to clean, and the preparation process is very simple, as the instructions were very clear. In the milk heating function, without froth, it works perfectly! It doesn't burn the milk. I haven't tried it with cold frothed milk, but I believe it will be easy to make it very good!
It has two functions for frothed milk, one for dense and the other for light frothed milk. I can say that I have obtained different qualities from different types of milk. Therefore, for me, an important factor is the type of milk you choose to achieve the corresponding result.
However, with barista milk that I tried, it was perfect. But I wanted almond milk with 0% fat, so after some tests, I found the milk that makes satisfactory frothed milk and it is Alpro's no sugars. Regular milk will give much better results, but I repeat, I bought the device to make frothed milk with low-fat almond milk. All in all, I highly recommend it!
Very good and sturdy construction. It makes very good frothed milk, as well as chocolate. Easy, fast, with a beautiful design. The only negative is that it requires attention to cleaning, meaning not to let water go into the bottom part of the device, where it attaches to the base.
I bought it twice and both times it turned out to be faulty after the 4th or 5th use. When I touched it to its base, it would start operating on its own and wouldn't let me choose any of the 4 options or even turn it off, only when it was unplugged. I don't trust it anymore!
The milk frother it makes is very good, with fast speed and sufficient quantity.
The problem for me, and the reason why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars, is that when you simply want to heat milk, to make hot chocolate for example, it doesn't heat it as much as I think it should. It is warm, but closer to lukewarm than hot.
I hoped that I could use it instead of a pot to heat milk, but unfortunately I'm going back to the pot.
The cleaning is quick and the milk rarely sticks a little.
Well, I will say one thing!!!!!!! Amazing!!!!!!!! I have never commented on any purchase before, just received it a little while ago, I washed it and tried it with green milk .... In hot for cappuccino!!!!!! Shock!!!!!! I highly recommend it without reservation!!!!!!!
Very good milk frother, I got it on sale on Black Friday. It makes very good chocolate, cold milk foam, and hot milk foam. Also, with Nounou's Barista Gold milk, 0% fat for cold and 3.6% fat for hot, the result is comparable to coffee from a café. It is easy to clean, it is quiet, and only time will tell the reliability of the brand!
I had my Nespresso for 3 years and it broke, so I bought this one, it's better. It makes excellent frothed milk, it has the hot function as well as the warm one, which gives you the perfect temperature without burning yourself but still hot enough. I haven't tried the cold function. It also makes very good hot chocolate. 3 tablespoons of powdered chocolate and it's ready. It is of very good quality. And finally, it is completely silent, not that the Nespresso made a crazy noise, but this one can't be heard. I bought it for 40€ and it's worth it
I honestly didn't expect it to make such good frothy milk. It has 4 options, 2 for frothy milk, one for heating, and one for cold. It stops on its own when it's ready
