Tips and Tricks
The plastic pitcher and lid are dishwasher safe in the top rack.
To be honest I was just being lazy. I was impressed by the video and thought it was a good way to save time in the morning rather than steaming my own milk for my cappucino. Turns out it makes better froth than I could when I'm in a hurry.
Has anyone had trouble with their frother not spinning? It heats but doesn't froth. I've had it for a week and it worked great the first few days and then stopped spinning, so no froth
Best Answer:I've had my frother for almost 2 years and have not had any problems. I rave about my frother to everyone! I know this doesn't help with your problem, but perhaps you received a "lemon." Maybe you can exchange it and try again.
Yes! We have had ours longer than you, but it also used to work and now it really doesn't. I haven't had time to contact the company, but I am very disappointed and not sure how to proceed since we are probably out of warranty.
No trouble with not spinning for me. Had it two years but have used it infrequently in the past year. Still, it has always worked fine and has always made froth excellently. We love it here.
we had problems with two machines -------- they both made fabulous foam but the bottom of the pitchers leaked thru the seam ------ it looks like the newer model is one modular piece
Whats the minimum milk level on this one? i dont always want to use 8 oz of anything because it's usually just for my one cup.
A shopper on Aug 5, 2014
Best Answer:It works great at all levels. I am typically a single cup drinker, so I fill it to about 1/3 or slightly less for my morning cappuccino . The frothed milk will be about double what you pour in initially if you let the unit run the full time where it shuts off automatically.
One good tip I have found is to let the pitcher sit in the frother holder for about 20 to 30 seconds after it has quit, as the unit will heat the milk to a much better temperature than if you immediately remove it upon shut off.
It is an amazing, reliable device and the price is so reasonable - a real bargain!
I don't know the actual amount but I often use just enough to cover the mixing blade thingy. So that is about 3/8" of milk, which is probably less than 3-4oz. BTW the Capresso milk frother is fast, easy to clean and does a fantastic job.
Depends if you're making a latte or just want steamed milk. If I do a latte, I pour milk into the cup I will be drinking out of first, just over half full. For a cup of joe,I honestly just eyeball how much milk I want for that day.
We have used the frother for over a year and a half and NEVER used 8 oz. of milk. 2-3 oz. will work and the machine shuts itself down automatically. If you reheat the milk you need to watch it or it can overflow. We are happy "campers

Best Answer:I use the Breville Milk Cafe. I have been vegan for 40 years. I use the Breville Milk Cafe virtually everyday, for a couple of years now I think, It works like a charm with soy. It makes great chai tea lattes as well. I have used coconut milk, oat milk and hemp milk, probably others too. Soy and hemp work the best, but the others are ok. It does a much better job than the wand on my espresso machine used to do before the wand broke, and with less hassle. Highly recommended.
If you are asking if it works, i.e. no jams or clogs with soy milk then yes, it works fine. If you are asking, however, if there is a nice froth on top well, that's a different story. There is some froth but not obviously as much as "cow's milk" due to the differing content. It's a very good frother and I highly recommend it!
Best Answer:Unfortunately we do not offer a separate cup for the Capresso Froth Pro Milk Frother. You may find one for sale with Capresso, and they can be reached at 800-767-3554. Sorry I can't be of greater assistance on this!
Best Answer:The inside is Teflon. However I would not call it a true steamer. It heats up the milk but not over the boiling point. The spinning disk on the bottom creates the frothing effect. It makes it also very easy to clean. Just add soapy water to the container and let the disk work and clean itself using no heat settings.
I believe it is. It feels like it, and cleans up easily, but I don't see it listed anywhere. It hasn't gotten scratched, which for me is the easiest way to tell. I have the frother at work, and I'm at home now. I'll take a closer look monday, and if I have any more info I'll report back.
An understandable concern, though teflon remains essentially inert at milk-frothing temps (~200F) used in this application as opposed to stove top use where teflon particles are released at >464F, and toxic gas at >680F.
Reference; search "Canaries in the Kitchen: Teflon Toxicosis" Environmental Working Group.
Great info - Thanks. Now I am considering the Nespresso frother- they tell me it does not have Teflon lining but it does have some sort of non-stick lining and I a trying to find out about that.
I believe so, but it doesn't say in the instructions. You can always call and ask the manufacturers directly (1-800-767-3554). It's been a great frother, if that helps at all.
I am not sure it if is Teflon, but it seems to be some sort of non stick coating. I only put milk in my frother and rinse in right away, so I never have had to scrub it.
Yes it is. We just rinse it out and wipe it dry with a dish towel........and it's ready to go. We have used it every day for a month now.....and it is still amazing.
Thanks! I am concerned as Teflon is potentially toxic when heated and i am afraid the toxins will each into the milk. . I was hoping for a frother without a potentially toxic coating inside.
While the Teflon coating on the inside of the Capresso Froth Pro should not pose any health risks, I understand the desire to use a product not containing certain materials.
The new Capresso Froth Plus utilizes a plastic container and will be on our site in May.
Best Answer:I've only ever used regular milk in it. You might want to try by boiling some of those in a pot first to see what the consistency is. Cow's milk, when boiled, starts to get foamy. If your almond/coconut milk doesn't get foamy at high temperatures, my guess is the foamer won't do the trick either.
Yes, in fact I only used this frother with soy or almond milk and it works great. One thing of note is that it seems to work best when you put the liquid to the maximum line which is about 10 oz.
This is the third frother that I have bought! All have broken after a short period of time! The frothing mechanism stops working. Costco has been great in replacing each defective product.
Capresso is a great product while it works.
The problem is that it won't work very long! Get your act together, Capresso and FIX YOUR PRODUCT! (Posted on 3/7/2015)

Unpredictable foamReview by kam

Quality

The machine produced intermittently good results for the first 3 weeks. I have tried multiple combinations of milk types and found that they did not ensure that the foam was creamy thick.
The foamer is relatively inexpensive. It takes about 3 minutes to froth and heat the milk, so I would have to start this process before the coffee.
The pitcher is very easy to clean.
I am going to look for another type of frother. (Posted on 6/4/2013)

For a separate frother, works great!Review by Pam
Price
Quality

This frother is effective and easy to use and to clean!!! It produces a lot of froth and hot milk both, which is ideal (for us). It is not quite enough for what we need but would be for those using normal sized cups. The taste is not quite steamed but still good. It is also cheaper than other brands, but still good quality. I read and can confirm you need to keep the pot off the burner when it's finished (especially when it's empty), like you would a pot on a range. And don't sit the pot just on something that can be burned after you pour out of it--it will be hot like any pot would--use a pot holder or wood surface. I also unplug it when not in use. But it does EXACTLY what it's supposed to! We need a bit more milk that it can produce, but that's our fault, not the frother's. Last: it takes over 3 minutes so you need to start it ahead of when you need to pour it. Some machines finish in about a minute but this one needs more time than that. (Posted on 7/5/2012)

I used this product 17 times in a little over two weeks, then it no longer frothed. It was fantastic while it lasted...I have now returned it to the manufacturer for repair/replacement. They were very nice on the phone and I hope they do as promised. It cost about $10.00 to ship back to the manufacturer, so add that to the cost. But while it worked....it turned non-fat milk into creamy decadence. I read reviews that some people had issues with theirs within the first month and others have had no problems under frequent use. I hope that when it is returned, it will last longer.

I add a measure of cold coffee brew, fill to middle mark with skim milk, then filtered water to top mark, push middle timing button, and it makes a great frothy coffee latte-like drink! I even like to add three heaping teaspoons of Coffee-mate French Vanilla powdered coffee creamer.
For hot chocolate I use powdered chocolate mix. I turn the milk on, so it's spinning, while I slowly add the chocolate.
I've also made gravy in it, but this takes multiple cycles with the middle timing button. Be careful to not over fill it or the gravy can run over the edge.
