I am considering this frother or the large size Secura frother. Does anyone have experience with both? If so, which would you recommend?

Only know of the Breville. Had it for a couple of months. Easy to clean and use. Makes great froth for lattes. Enough for at least 4 cups at a time.

I do not know what Model Number I have but those are the frothers that work with my Secura.

Don't know the Jura so I can't compare. If you r just making coffee, once you figure out your settings, it is. If you r making cappuccinos, once you attach frother, it is. I have a Delonghi Gran Dama at my home (other is in mountain get away) and I wish I had that one here. It makes a hotter cup of joe!

Here's my review on the 3190US "I've had this frother for over 2 years and after a shakey start it has not missed working after a problematic beginning.As most others have mentioned, keep the bottom dry and never set it in the sink or turn it over after rincing the unit.A dishwasher cleaning would be certain death.I've used both skimmed milk and whole milk and it's always perfect.There really is no excuse for releasing a product with such a problematic design. Are you listening Nespresso?Update November 13, 2011 It died. Just a little past it's second birthday" Here's my review on the 3190US "I've had this frother for over 2 years and after a shakey start it has not missed working after a problematic beginning.As most others have mentioned, keep the bottom dry and never set it in the sink or turn it over after rincing the unit.A dishwasher cleaning would be certain death.I've used both skimmed milk and whole milk and it's always perfect.There really is no excuse for releasing a product with such a problematic design.

Kerry: Yes, it is. Works well for the most part. It has a metal whip inside that removes for cleaning, however, sometimes it comes off while frothing and I have to unplug the Aroma, push it back on and continue the process. Pay attention to the fill lines for a latte or a cappuccino because it will overflow. Overall, for the price I think it is worth it. I have used more expensive models and this does the job just as well.

I returned the item -- the froth is microbbubbles, so if you want tiny bubbles, it is fine. I got heat only, no bigger bubbles. I gave up on frothers.

Size/capacity and ease of cleaning. the pro is smaller, but faster and much easier to clean. The tec is larger but takes much longer and is more difficult to keep clean. Also you can only froth milk in the Tec any powder mixes clog it up whereas the pro is great fro mixing chai and hot chocolates. We use both and hands down the pro works great and is a super easy to clean. We also have a 500ml Secura Automatic Electric Milk Frother and Warmer like the tech it has a larger capacity and can only froth milk (no powders) but it is super fast. on the downside it's got electronics on the pot itself which makes cleaning a little more delicate.

Mostly just style, size, and portability. I got the pixie because I didn't want it to take up as much room and so I could take it with me when travelling. I like the frother separate. They both brew all of the options, the pixie has a flip up shelf for a larger cup or glass to fit under. I did my research on Nespresso.com and purchased on

I have the 12 cup model. I'd say it's always better to go with the largest model if you ever think you'd need it. You can always make less, say 4 cups in the 12 cup model. Just my $.02.

I have tried all of these home frothers and I found this one to be the best one. Almond, skim and soy milk will not foam as much but it does form enough to make a latte.

I actually returned this item and bought the Capresso http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=milk+frother I didn't think it was hot enough. Here is my review on the Jura http://www.amazon.com/review/R2NGKEW2J47EGJ/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm Hope this helps.

Francis ~ it is a round spring, offset from center and it makes amazing foam. We've tried 2 other brands and this is by far the best - used ours for about a year now without a problem. The frother spring comes out easily for cleaning. Go for it!

I have the "older" one and love it. Gets excellent froth every time. Best pitcher out there.

There are a few reasons, for you to decide whether they are compelling. The parts that really matter are completely identical as far as I can judge. Reasons: Bigger water tank - less frequent refill. Nicer aesthetics. Much better frother system, higher quality and much easier cleaning of the frother system. More space for bigger vessels underneath frother system, and - I believe - more space provided for cups underneath espresso dispenser.

It is adjustable for larger mugs, But I would not recommend this machine. It is hard to find the pods (they are not sold in Most stores and only made by Starbucks) and they are more expensive then the Keurig pods, which you can find everywhere on sale. The verismo did not do a good job of frothing the milk. My wife got rid of her Verismo and bought a Keurig. She is more pleased with it.

I haven't heard of anyone keeping one for more than a year. They just stop working. Keep trying to find a frother that will do the job and last. I just bought another conpresso because I found it for 30.00. I'd pay a decent price if I knew it would last.

I returned my cuisanart FP-14DC and purchased the Breville sioux chef 16 cup. My cuisanart would shut down many times while pulsing and the Breville is a beast of a machine and i would recommend the Breville. It's a few more bucks but the customer service is top notch.
