 Brilliant!!! December 4, 2008

It actually does what it says!!! I was thinking of buying one of those fancy and expensive machines like the ones in the coffee shops, but this baby works just a s good!!! I mainly use it with hot chocolate and coffee and it is excellent.
I did notice however, that it works best when filled up to the maximum line. It does work with less than that but the best results occur when filled to the line!
Also, don't get the impression that it only takes two or three pumps and "walla"! You have to give it a few seconds worth of pumps, but it's nothing exhausting or excessive!
Strongly recommended for any kitchen!!!
Amazing, but the instructions need to be better. September 13, 2008

I bought this about 6 months ago and have found it to be quite good, until a few days ago, when I discovered that it could make the PERFECT froth. A lot of people recommend that you warm the milk for a while in the microwave and then froth. But to make this work so as to form milk that is as thick as beaten egg whites, do the following:
1: Use semi-skimmed milk straight from the fridge.
2: Beat the milk vigorously, making sure that you pump only in the bottom 2 inches of the milk (if you come out of the milk with each stroke, it doesn't work).
3: Keep pumping until it starts to get thick (if you are vigorous, this will take about 30 seconds).
4: Pop it into the microwave at full power (800 watts in my case) for 50 seconds. This seems to almost set the milk and it is even thicker when it comes out.
5: You now have egg white milk. Awesome.
PS: I have a good quality milkshake mix for the kids that we give them on occasion and this thing makes brilliantly thick milkshakes without the addition of ice cream.
The Perfect Froth..... August 7, 2008

What more is there to say that hasn't been said? We have a frother built into our Magimix M200, but it can't get near the quality of froth produced by the Bodum. Ok there's some manual effort, but the results add that special touch to the yummy Nespresso coffee...... especially if you top it all with chocolate sprinkles too!
Simple and it works! June 13, 2008

I have 3 coffee machines (Dolce Gusto, Senseo, Tassimmo!!) but don't like the plastic milk that comes with them, so always microwave milk, but then I don't get froth.
This simply and cheap item has solved that dilemma.
It came very well packed. Simple instructions are in the box.
You put milk in the glass jug, up to a black line (or less if one cup!), microwave if you want it hot. Then pump up and down. You end up with lovely froth, thick just like Costas. It came with a cork mat to prevent it slipping.
There's a bit of washing up, or you can put it in the dishwasher.
Basically it does what it says! and it makes frothy milk shakes.....!
It works! May 17, 2008

Heat the milk in the micro for 1 minute before giving it a good pumping... result: fantastic froth, enough for two generous cups.
It does the job it is intended for. V good indeed.
