Looking for something besides an expensive expresso machine that will froth milk. Will this work?

A milk frother used high pressure steam to heat and froth. Seriously doubt this would work.

I gave this as a present and have never used one therefore I am sorry I cannot answer your question.

Overkill. This is for mixing sauces & soups in a pot. Bad idea to try to froth milk with a big mixer.I just warm my milk in the microwave. That doesn't froth, but I just want to keep the coffee from cooling.

Do not know. When I received the Chefman I put it together by inserting the mixer attachment. When I tried to release it and take it off it was stuck so I returned the itemto Amazon.

Well , not sure...I never frothed milk. It doesn't really whip air into the food which is what I'm guessing is needed. It kind of makes a suction to the bottom of what you're using it in. If you lift it it makes a mess ! I've used it for mixing my powdered protein shake and mashed potatos so far. Thats the best I can help you.

I have been searching for one and have not yet found it. It is a beautiful machine but I did not know what to look for when I bought it. It's Cafe "Americano" is terrible. I just got the "Lungo" and it is better but not great. The Cappuccino is good but very expensive. If I had known more I might have bought something else.By the way, Amazon has most of their coffees shipped free if you have Prime.

I've tried many different espresso/cappuccino makers over the years and none of the frother attachments were very good. Initially they were ok but they all got worse over time even with frequent cleaning of the frothing tube. I found the best way to froth the milk is to heat the milk first (in microwave or stove top) then place the milk in one of those French Press coffeemakers and pump the press up and down until the milk froths (pump about 8-12 times). It works every time regardless of the the type of milk you use (whole, 2%, 1% or skim). I hope that helps!

Yes it will work... I tried it. You can make really small amount of milk. What i can't understand us why they have this minimum limit.

You could probably use it instead of milk/cream. I have used it as a coffee creamer and it was good. Make the coffee and use it after it is made to make your latte using the steamer on your expresso machine.

Definitely. This machine is designed to produce espresso and it has the capability to steam and froth milk. Essentially the French caf au lait and the Italian caff latte is 1/3 espresso to 2/3 steamed milk, or a three ounce double serving espresso to five ounces of steamed milk. There can be a slight learning curve when it comes to frothing the milk. Make sure you are using a fresh and cold skim or 2% milk. Bleed your frothing tube line before lowering it into your frothing pitcher. Water will dilute the milk if line hasn't been bled.

Ilsa, the models you ask about do not have an integrated grinder or milk container. Some of the other Breville models have the grinders, but none have the integrated milk container. From what I have seen, the only machines that have the milk containers (I assume you want to make cappuccinos with the touch of one button) are much more expensive that the Brevilles. I think Jura makes machines like this.

Yes it does...the only big issue I find is in Cappacino...the milk froth is not hot at all - its at room temperature...

I think it would suffice. Being dual boiler vs thermal block, you can pull several shots back to back and froth milk at the same time. I don't know how many you can make before you have to pause. I pull 2 doubles back to back every morning and know I could do more if I had more drinkers. The large water reservoir can be filled without interrupting coffee making. For the price, I think I would seriously consider this one for a small drive thru. I bought mine factory refurbished 7 months ago and am happy with it.

This model has a milk frother, not sure why you would want to use a separate one.

This machine is wonderful. The milk frother is just ike a travel coffee mug, you add milk to the fill line, and put it on the dock, push the button on the frother itself and viola beautiful hot frothed milk

No. This machine does not froth any sort of milk. There is a recipient behind where you put water - there is no place for milk. I heard the machine "latissima" is the only one that froth milk. I belive you would be able to froth soy milk there. You also can froth milk in the "nespresso aeroccino". Hope this helped!

It pretty much works as any frother would with different milk types. It works really well as a whole. I hope this helps. Enjoy it is a great machine.

Yes. It works well but we don't use it much because cleaning is a hassle. We just froth milk cup by cup.

I worked at a coffee house part time a few years back. We would steam froth the milk in a metal jug then spoon out the froth into the drink when it called for froth only. I can't imagine that you couldn't do it the same way.

You put the milk in your coffee cup and on the side of this machine there's a 'frother' - turn a knob and the frother spits out steam to foam up and heat your milk. Works OK but be really careful not to snak the frother. It's plastic and prone to breAking. Also your coffee cup needs to be not too big or else you'll run into trouble trying to get it out from under the frother tube once the frothing is done.
