Customer Review: A new household favorite

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
A couple of years ago I bought a Jura-Capresso Impressa E8 "super-automatic" coffee maker. It made wonderful coffee and I started using its steamer attachment to make foamed milk for lattes and cappuccinos, which my wife loved. But my results with the steamer were erratic, and I never was able to get the thick foam that I could from coffee bars. The Capresso frothPRO has changed all that.
When I was a kid I was intrigued by magnetic beaker stirrers in chemistry class. The frothPRO works on the same principle. A motor in the base turns a magnet which then pulls along the "frothing disc" that has its own magnet, stirring the liquid without a need for a shaft and seal. The frothPRO has a heater with two heat settings, plus an option to froth without heat. There are two frothing discs provided - one is pre-installed in the pitcher and the other is magnetically held in a recess in the bottom of the device. A third disc, that stirs gently without frothing, is in a second recess. I found it a bit tricky to remove the disc from the pitcher - I had to gently insert my fingers underneath and pry it up and unsnap it. I was worried the first time that I would break it, but I didn't and found it gets easier with future uses.
The froth made is thick and creamy, and it takes no longer than using the steamer attachment. It comes out much like at a coffee bar, with thick foam and some liquid underneath. I needed to use a spatula to spoon the foam out, and it stays foamy in the cup for quite some time.
The power cord can be wrapped around a recess in the base for a shorter cord, or unwrapped for longer. It was more than adequately long for my counter. The unit shuts off if you remove the pitcher, and won't turn on unless the pitcher is in place.
The manual suggests that there is a thermostat in the unit. It does, but when I, foolishly, ran the cycle a second time because I thought the milk had cooled, it boiled over and made a mess. Luckily it was not difficult to clean up, but it seemed to me that the cycle was timed rather than stopping when it reached a particular temperature. I could hear what sounded like a thermostat cycling on and off during the cycle.
The pitcher is lined with a nonstick coating that cleans easily. Replacement parts are available at reasonable costs. I presume that two frothing discs are provided because you might break the teeth on one of them inserting or removing it. So far, that has not happened to me.
The only downside to the Capresso frothPRO is that my wife and I are drinking even more lattes than we used to. We do use skim milk, which froths the best, but it feels so indulgent.
