Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Aerius Tall Milk Frother
Customer Review: This milk frother is the coolest thing ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
This milk frother is the coolest thing ever! Just add a bit of milk and move the plunger up and down rapidly. Let it sit and, within a minute or so, you've got thick milk foam. But instead of heavy whipping cream, you can use low-fat milk.
It's fun and easy to use. The biggest drawback is that depending on how much milk you put in and/or how rigorously you churn the milk, there might be some spillage. However, this chance of mess is worth the delicious results.
I use this frother to make frothy milk for just about every kind of warm beverage that I drink--brewed coffee, espresso, homemade cocoa, instant hot chocolate. Who needs to go to a coffee shop when you've got this milk frother? This frother works much better than the milk steamer nozzle on my espresso machine and I don't have to plug it in or wait. I have also poured the milk froth over a bowl of fruit (such as strawberries) for a delicious dessert.
Customer Review: Great gadget for those who love lattes, etc......
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes it is a great gadget and no I did not give it five stars. There is only one flaw, if you fill it to its maximun it can overflow and be a bit messy. My solution is to sit it inside the sink when frothing so the mess is contained. Another solution is to just put a bit less in but that is too easy. The only comment I truly wanted to add to the other reviews is that it can froth NON FAT milk. It amazes me that non fat milk can be whipped to a consistenty that is so thick and satisfying. If you are a dieter and have a sweet craving I highly recommend using 4oz of strong coffee or expresso that you brewed in your Bodum French Press, a packet of artificial sweetener all in a large mug (like 10-12 oz), then top with your warm frothed milk and a shake of cinnamon. That is nirvana and a very low cal way to get a big sweet fix!Customer Review: Kick it up another knotch

Customer Review: Café fun at home!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having a cup of coffee or tea has always been a treat for me. Using the Bodum Milk Frother really adds to the fun and pleasure! The frother is simply designed and easy to use and clean. It froths skim milk in less than a minute and it's as thick and foamy as ever! I sometimes add vanilla, a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to the milk before frothing and then spoon it into hot tea to make my own chai. As a side note, the use of this product inspires more milk consumption; this is great for women who need more calcium and vitamin D !Customer Review: does what it's supposed to
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a bit of experience with milk frothers. My family used to have one that was shorter and wider than the Bodum Aerius, and this one is obviously a better buy. Because of its taller size, the milk is less likely to spill out while you are frothing it. And I've also found that with this one, you don't have to pump quite as vigorously to get the milk to become frothy. My cappuccino machine's froth attachment doesn't work, but it makes a mean espresso, and paired with this frother I get a perfect cappuccino.
