HIC Brands that Cook Stainless Steel Milk Frother, 14-Ounce Size

This is an outstanding frother. Measure enough milk to fill the pitcher about 1/3 to 1/2 full, warm the milk slightly, pump for 15 or 20 seconds. A slightly "rapid" pumping action is used, but does not to be so quick or vigorous to need any great strain or exertion.

Produces very good microfoam, although there is a noticeable amount (about one part in twenty) of larger bubbles on the top. Perhaps an extreme coffee connoisseur might find this critical, but it is unlikely to be an issue for most users.

Have previously owned two of the Bodum 5-oz frothers (earlier model). They worked very well. But, unfortunately, the screen/frothing element on those was overly-complicated and had a plastic part which was prone to breaking due to normal usage.

In comparison, this Harold Import model is very sturdy and simple. The one plastic component is made of a type of plastic that is not so brittle and is unlikely to break from the plunging action. Of course the stainless steel (in comparison to glass) is not going to break is tipped over or dropped.

The relatively lower price reflects the simple construction -it is not fancy, it is made to accomplish the task. As an example, the handle is attached to the pitcher with a three-point spot weld -probably wouldn't notice it, unless looking closely, but it's only to make a secure attachment, not to be artistic.

This is not a product that is the result of "planned obsolescence," I expect to be using this little unit for many years.

Put your money back in your pocket, save the environment and landfills no batteries required and still produces an excellent cup of frothed milk! We have and own two of these exact frothers purchased from Marshall's. Simply put they work great.

1) warm up milk in microwave

2) make a cup of strong coffee (espresso, french press, etc.)

3) fill frother with warm milk to not more than 1/3 level

4) pump lever semi-vigorously for a few seconds (~10 pumps)

5) add frothed milk to cup

The milk volume nearly triples and the frothed milk lasts throughout the drinking experience does not go flat.

To clean, it's best to immediately pour hot or cold water into frother and give several pumps. It thoroughly cleans the screen. Also dishwasher safe.

The easy of use of this very simple device cannot be overly emphasized. Works great, cheap, and saves the environment. NOTE: we own several espresso machines with built-in steam "frothers" this little manual frother is second to none!

This is a great little frother. It makes enough froth for about two cups of coffee. After a few tries I found out the key to making the best froth. The key is to let the milk get hot (but not boiling) before trying to froth. This way it froths in just a few plunges. FIY only fill it half way up with milk to prevent overflow with frothing! Enjoy :)

We enjoy Coffee & Tea Latte drinks as well as Hot Chocolate & Hot Vanilla drinks.

This little milk frother appealed to me because it is made of stainless steel which should survive the marine enviornment on our boat & out camping as well as at home.

I fill it half way with organic whole milk, and froth it over a medium flame till the milk gets sweet and aerated.

It does not take much work, but if you are too aggressive, the foam will start to leak out of the top while you are plunging, a little finesse will prevent this.

We have used it everyday for 2 weeks and are very happy with the purchase.

This frother is extremely basic, which is a plus as far as maintaining it goes. I put it in the top rack of the dishwasher, and it seems to be holding up fine so far. And, as long as you are frothing a large amount of milk, it does the job. If you use less than half a cup, though, the air doesn't flow through the milk enough to froth it. Additionally, it does not work well when using warm or hot milk. I first froth the cold milk, then place it in a microwave-safe cup to heat. It's rather a pain, since I'm the only one in my family who likes frothed milk in coffee. I end up wasting a lot of milk. I gave it three stars, because I've been through a number of battery operated and non-electric frothers, and this one is probably just above average. I DO like the fact that the container is metal, since I've broken several glass frothing containers.
