KrupsFrothing Control XL1008 Milk Frother/Black

This is an excellent product. Don't believe the reviews that say it's hard to clean. Milk will only really cake on if left on for a long time - it will keep coming on for a minute at a time if left - but a brush, warm water and some washing up liquid deals with that - but, anyway, if it didn't come off with scrubbing, it won't come off in your drink, obvs :)One niggle is that it's not possible to say whether it's on or off by looking at it, so it may spin unexpectedly when you put it back on the base. After it's gone off, switch it off so it doesn't come back on unless you want it to keep warm. Overall, highly recommended.

Froths milk well but if filled to the maximum then it often overspills - don't fill to the line with full fat milk! Otherwise it froths really well and the non stick interior is easy to clean. The frothed milk holds it's height for ages, without returning to liquid. One fault, the power indicator light has failed after three months but does not affect usage.

Great little machine. The instructions it comes with aren't very comprehensive so it took some trial and error. You need to leave the machine switched on until it switches off itself and then switch the off button as well, otherwise it comes back on. However, that provides a fairly warm froth. Don't over fill as it makes a LOT of froth.Clean it immediately or you will regret it, and even so there is a patch of the base where milk always sticks.However, it does make nice frothed milk for a latte and I am very glad I have it.

Bought after top Which reviews. It froths amazingly, but almost too well, it goes a bit solid and buns slightly at the bottom.Update: This broke after 7 months. It had always burnt at the bottom making it very boring to clean. Then, out just working. Amazon said they would attempt to repair rather than replace it. I was happy with that because it's much better than just throwing it away.I didn't hear anything a couple of months.Then. their repairer replied to an email to say that it couldn't be repaired.I had to chase Amazon at every stage of the processAmazon said they would refund not replace.But in that time of them not repairing the price had gone up so the refund does not cover the replacement.Amazon said there is nothing they can doAmazon said they would send the broken unit back to me to see if I could repairThe unit has not arrived a month laterAmazon has not acknowledged my complaintFirst time this has happened, Amazon usually more straightforward to deal with.

Look, it's fine, it froths the milk (not textures it, barista wannabes) but lacks the additional functionality and lower price of other frothers such as this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09W4JZBQX?ie=UTF8&th=1. I'd recommend that over this Krups device.

Bought to replace a bean to cup machine, there's lots of methods for making a good brew but the key to a good latte is the hot milk. This is really impressive and makes a good mugs worth of milk and foam. The foam is really very stiff, like a meringue almost but worth it.Short update, it can be a pain to clean as depending on what milk you use it can leave some residue on the base that's a awkward to clean off. I've found that adding boiling water to heat the pot first for a few minutes then discard before adding milk. Makes cleaning a breeze.

Likes: froths milk okay, sometimes it just warms it up and no froth.Dislikes: main issue is that after frothing, the milk burns to the bottom of the machine and is impossible to clean. The machine also comes back on automatically when you place it on the stand, which is not a good user experience. This happened from the first use so it is also not just a problem that comes after continued or misuse.

I love a frothy milk chocolate, and this purchase was pure indulgence. Well, let me tell you something - I've never seen this much froth! I thought I was pouring in a very small amount of milk as I tipped in the maximum amount for frothing. Next to no time later (maybe a minute, less than two) I had a container FULL of frothy milk for my hot chocolate! I'm going to get a plastic spoon so as not to scratch the interior, which is non-stick. But this could not be easier to use (and it's no hassle to clean either). There's just the one button to press!I know I have a little more to explore about this milk frother (how well it works when I'm topping a cappuccino, for instance), but it's not for nothing that it was awarded Best Buy status by Which? after tests of various milk frothers. My only quibble would be that my personal taste is for the milk to be a little hotter, but that's really splitting hairs. I'm very pleased with my purchase, which does exactly what I bought it for. A bedtime hot chocolate now the evenings are drawing in - I got this just in time to keep me going through winter!
