Capresso froth Select Automatic Milk Frother and Hot Chocolate Maker, Stainless Steel 209.05, Silver, 20 ounce

Great so far. Quiet and makes thick foam for my daily cappuccino. Very pleased with stainless steel carafe. Easy to wash by hand and let dry.

We bought this for my parents as a gift. We have the Nespresso Aeroccino and this machine is inferior in almost all respects.It’s likely to be returned for the simple reason that the button to turn it on is super finicky. I want to push a button and start the thing and you can’t. First, it wiggle the knob to make sure the selector is in line with a choice (there are not perceptible “stops” for the different positions yo help you).Then you have to push the button in some magic way to get it ti start. The button depresses in all sorts of angles and it just won’t start. I don’t know if I’m supposed yo press in the edge by the selection indicator ir if I’m supposed to press in the middle. Neither work. It’s maddening.I take the pot on and off over and over again to reset it but it’s just junky.Finally, the foam is lackluster. On the setting for the most foam using the correct disc the results are lackluster. It’s pretty watery and nothing like the celebrity foam from the Areoccino.I’m really disappointed from this brand. We have a 15 year old burr coffee grinder from them that is a champ but this product is probably going back.

I am a hot chocolate fanatic but I try to limit myself because of the sugar and calories. I bought this with hopes that I could use the pre mixed chocolate Fairlife shakes...low sugar high protein hot chocolate? YES!! Is ot gourmet hot chocolate, no, but now I can have it daily without the guilt and splurge on the good stuff too. This little machine is awesome!

I bought this frother in Jan 2022, and was amazed by it! Froths wonderfully, mixes any powders in completely, and the hot chocolate setting is so good! Cold froth works pretty well too.However, it is now Jan 2024, and for the past four months or so, the machine had been way overheating the milk, giving it that scalded taste. Once I realized this, I just started to stop it before it was done and that was fine. But now, it has completely stopped working - it turns itself off within 2-3 seconds of starting, and keeps turning back off when I turn it back on. Does this on all settings. Shame how things are not made to last anymore. I will reach out to the company for support and update here if/when I hear back from them.

My lattes are half coffee / half almond milk in a large mug, so I appreciate the large capacity of this frother. I also add a scoop of mocha collagen, and it still blends nicely. It’s summer, so I have not tried the feature which allows to melt chocolate chips and make hot cocoa, but I must admit that feature along with larger capacity is why I chose this one over the same brand that was a little less. I’ve had trouble with smaller capacity frothers spilling over the sides / mess. Not with this one 👍 I like that it is stainless and dishwasher safe. (I’ve had a plastic pitcher before that stained with my mocha collagen or cocoa). If you only use a little bit of milk or almond milk, this one is overkill and probably too large. But if you like 1/2 coffee and 1/2 milk or frothing for more than one person then highly recommend. Oh - you can store the magnetic frother spinner things on underside of frother base which is great way to keep up with them.

After using it for a while I have become impressed with it. It does a great job frothing milk. It is worth buying. The feature that I really like is that the cup is removable and does not have any electrical components that can get wet or damaged so you can fully wash it.

Nice frother. Your can have heated or cold froth. It is easy to use and easy to clean.

Edit to my original review below: it has stopped heating the milk beyond slightly warm. For the price, I expected a lot more.My previous milk frother died. We were early morning friends, but there were things about it that kept me from mourning its death. For starters, it cooked a little of the milk to the bottom of the kettle and was hard to clean. The Capresso is super easy to clean and it does not cook the milk.It’s probably worth adding that I make matcha in my frother (way easier than using a whisk), then I froth milk to top it.There were some other unanticipated downsides to the Capresso:- It’s LOUD! Not so loud that you can’t hold a conversation while it runs, but loud enough that it is distracting when I turn it on. And it screeches and makes a sound like metal pieces are rubbing against the metal base.- It’s slow! I fill it between the min and max levels (maybe 8-10 oz - haven’t measured to know for sure) and it takes 10 minutes to heat room temp water/tea. Once the base is hot from making the tea, it heats the milk much faster. While it makes a great matcha latte, it takes nearly 15 min to heat the tea and froth the milk.- It’s not hot! It is really warm, but not hot. I’m sure that is why it doesn’t burn the milk, but I would like a hotter setting. It is clearly meant to warm and froth milk and make hot chocolate.- The start button sometimes takes some finessing to get it to start.I hope this helps you find your frother!
