Instant PotMilk Frother, 4-in-1 Electric Milk Steamer, 10oz/295ml Automatic Hot and Cold Foam Maker and Milk Warmer for Latte, Cappuccinos, Macchiato, From the Makers of Instant 500W, Black

Update at bottomI have been using a handheld frother for a little over a year. It works really well, but since I use it so often, I decided the ease of an electric would be worth it. After much searching, I decided on this one as good for the price. I've had it for a little over a month, and I'm very happy with it so far.There are four differen settings: cold foam, warm light foam, warm thick foam, and warm with no foam. Though it does foam a little in that setting, which is odd, but whatever.I always drink skim milk, so I can't speak for other types of milk.- The most important thing to me is the froth. It makes GREAT froth. I gave it five stars solely for this reason, even though it's not flawless. The froth is amazing. I typically use the warm thick foam setting. It's so very thick, and smooth, and fluffy. Some pours out into the drink, but often there is a good portion that I need to coax out with a spoon, which I love. The light foam is also nice. I like it to mix in with a beverage, but generally my motto is why light froth when you can thick froth??? I tried the cold froth for my daughter, and it was equally smooth and fluffy.- It's super easy to run. Just press the button to choose the froath that you want and press the button to start. It starts and stops on it's own.- Fixing my negetive statement concerning the frother overflowing. It doesn't. Review was due to my bad eyes and the difficult to see "min" "max" lines in the container.- It's not dishwasher safe. I wasn't looking for dishwasher safe because I used my handheld once or twice a day. I knew I would want to use this one before I could run a cycle through the dishwasher. If you want dishwasher safe, keep looking.- It IS easy to clean. Super easy to wash out with a cloth or sometimes I just put a drop of dishsoap and some water in the container and run the cold cycle. The one thing I dislike is that the mechanics are in the bottom of the container, rather than in the base it sits on. You have to be careful not to get it too wet, and I'm always paranoid I'm going to do something stupid to wet and ruin it. I haven't yet. And I'm probably not.- I think the cord is a little long for a countertop appliance, considerably longer than my coffee machine and WAY longer than my toaster. To me this is the most annoying thing about it because I really dislike seeing cords. A more "countertop appliance" friendly cord would be easier to tuck and hide.UPDATE:After using this great little frother 2/3 times daily for a year and a half, it died. I've had virtually no complaints during that time and stick to everything written in my original review..... for the dead frother at least. I replaced it with a duplicate. I missed my froth so much and was SO excited when it arrived. That one just wasn't the same. I did everything exactly the same. Same milk, same amount. same setting, same kitchen, same everything. I tried over and over. It was worse than my handheld frother. :( I sent it back and got them to send another one. It's great... thankfully because this froth has become one of the little joys in my life. So if you get one and aren't content with the way it froths, send it back and ask for a replacement. Maybe you got a lemon.2nd UPDATE:Have been using the replacement. It worked GREAT for a little while then declined in froth quality. It still works well. I get a nice enough froth that I'm enjoying. But it's not amazing anymore. I do believe (from looking at videos/reviews as well as trying a few others) that this is the best quality for the pricepoint. Not sure if I'll get another like this when it eventually breaks or if it's worth trying something more expensive.

I think I win the award for the worst performance for this milk frother. I bought it from Amazon after a different frother I had used for several years finally stopped working (and the company is no longer in the US, so I can't get parts for it). Before I opened the box, my old frother began working again, so I decided to see how it went before opening the new one. Suffice it to say that the old one stopped working right about the time when the return window for the new one had closed. So I opened up the Instant Pot, followed the instructions exactly, and it didn't work! It heated the milk but without foam. No matter which function button I used, it wouldn't foam/froth. I tried every kind of milk. No frothing. I followed some recommendations from Amazon. No dice. I finally contacted the customer service people at Instant Pot. That was two months ago. We are STILL back and forth. Make a video to show it doesn't work! I did. Tell us exactly what isn't working. I did. They finally told me they put in an order for a replacement Instant Pot for me and that I would receive a separate email with tracking info, once it shipped. This was more than a week ago. I just wrote them again. For a company that repeatedly thanks me for my patience and apologizes for the delays, this is inexcusable. The weird thing is that I carefully researched milk frothers and this one was on every list of recommended products! If you are thinking of getting it, SAVE YOUR MONEY and buy something else. I still don't know what product to buy as a replacement.

As a coffee enthusiast, I can never go back to making espresso drinks without this! It makes such nice, cloud-like foam and has totally changed my home coffee making game. My friend has a Nespresso milk frother (~$100 value), and I believe this milk frother makes the same cloud-like quality frothed milk at a fraction of the price of the more high-end brands. In addition to this product's value for its price, it is very easy to use and clean.As an aside, I also want to comment on Instant's customer service. In today's age, I have found that many sellers on Amazon have horrible customer service, so I like to give shout outs to brands that have great customer service centers. My experience with the Instant customer service team was impeccable. I first purchased this item certified refurbished on Amazon Resale, and it stopped working after 1 month of use. I reached out to their customer service to see if they would replace it, but was not sure if they would since it was a refurbished product. The customer service team was very kind, helpful, and understanding of my situation. After providing them with video evidence of the item not working, they promptly sent me a replacement!If you are looking to step up your espresso/coffee game with a milk frother, I highly recommend this Instant milk frother!!

We recently purchased another one of these that replaced an older one that had stopped working after 3 years. Even though it stopped working, we decided to buy the exact same one again because we enjoyed it so much while it worked. It has 4 different settings for your milk that we found super helpful: cold foam, light warm foam, thick warm foam and warming without foam. It heated up our milk quickly no matter how much milk we added to it, and the container holds a lot of milk which is another positive. It doesn't get much easier than this for frothing milk. Highly recommend!
