Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Chambord 5-Ounce Milk Frother
Customer Review: Good frother - but the lid collects liquid.
Summary: 2 Stars
When it comes to frothing milk, this milk frother certainly does the job well. Just a few plunges will give you nicely frothed milk. I also find that when pouring it out the milk separates nicely from the foam (I always take the plunger out). So, it does the job I bought it for quite well.
However, it has one serious flaw which makes me give it only two stars, namely that the lid is made out of two separate components which are not properly sealed. What this means is that when you froth your milk a little too vigorously the lid sucks this milk in. As there is no way of opening the lid, you can't really clean it, and instead you have it slowly leaking into your milk the next time you start plunging.
The same of course goes for water - if you put this thing into the dishwasher it comes out with the lid full of water - which again leaks out into any milk you are trying to froth as soon as you start plunging.
My solution to this has been to froth less vigorously and only wash it lightly by hand with running water (no soaking allowed!) - but even so, some water/milk does get into the lid so I usually wait several days in between using it to make sure it has dried out.
I see one other reviewer has mentioned this issue (and a possible solution - namely drilling holes into the bottom of the lid to allow it to drain- I might give that a try too).
Minor issues:
- The container is made out of very thin glass, so it will quickly become as hot as your milk, making it a bit hard to pour. This is nothing that a layer of a kitchen towel can't fix - but if you find this to be a big issue, then search for a model with a handle - or one made out of ceramic.
- The lid doesn't seal very well to the container, so sometimes during my vigorous frothing milk can spill out at the top. And no, I do not overfill the container, and yes, I do have the solid lip of the lid covering the spout - but it doesn't form a seal.
If it wasn't for the leaky lid collecting stale water and milk I would give this frother 4-5 stars and happily buy it as gifts for my friends. The minor issues I mentioned don't really bother me much - but having stale water/milk in my froth does. So next time when buying a frother, I'll be searching for a better design of the lid.
Description of Bodum Chambord 5-Ounce Milk Frother
The world of coffee would be half as exciting if there was not that delicious layer of milk foam sitting on top of it! From lattes to cappuccinos, the Chambord Milk Frother brings any coffee to its perfection. Simply add cold non-fat milk to the fill line before setting the lid in place. Then pull and push the plunger until you see your milk turn to a frothy foam. The volume of milk froth will approximately double. Allow the froth to sit for a minute and thicken up. If you would like hot froth, just remove the lid/plunger unit and put the carafe with frothed milk in the microwave on high for 20 seconds. Once you are ready, use a spoon to scoop out the frothy foam and top off your favorite coffee drink. The glass beaker is made of durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass. With the Bodum Chambord Frother and a Bodum Coffee Press you can be your own barista at home! Dishwasher safe.French Presses
