Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Aerius Tall Milk Frother
Customer Review: Okay In a Pinch
Summary: 2 Stars
When the frothing attachment on my espresso maker literally blew out, I went looking for a decent substitute so I wouldn't have to do without steamed milk for my latte or froth for my cappuccino. (I didn't like the results I got from heating the milk in a saucepan). The Bodum Aerius caught my eye because (a) it's inexpensive and -- well -- come to think of it, that's the only reason. Anyway, on the plus side, it does what it's supposed to do -- froth milk. After the milk is frothed, you can zap the glass beaker (and that's really what it is) into the microwave for about 45 seconds (after removing the frothing insert, of course). On the downside, it's a little bit messy, especially when you get too vigorous with the plunger. The lid fits loosely, and, although the cork "coaster" supplied makes the whole thing a little more stable, I'm in fear of losing control of it and having the whole thing go crashing to the kitchen floor. It's okay in a pinch, but I'm putting a new espresso machine on my wishlist -- one with a sturdier frothing attachment.
Description of Bodum Aerius Tall Milk Frother
You don't have to have an espresso machine in order to enjoy the pleasures of frothed milk. This hand-powered carafe frother will work on both hot and cold milk, is easy to operate and can be easily cleaned.With this device it's not necessary to invest in an expensive espresso machine in order to enjoy frothy drinks such as cappuccino, café latté, and hot chocolate. Pour up to 4 ounces of cold, skim milk into the glass carafe and then push and pul the plunger up and down to create a cloud of thick froth. The carafe then can go safely into a microwave oven to warm the froth before pouring it into a cup or mug. To ensure the carafe doesn't slip while plunging takes place, it fits into a slip-resistant cork coaster. Standing in the coaster, the frother is 8 inches high. Other than the coaster all parts of the frother are dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack
