Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Aerolatte Stainless-Steel Deluxe Edition Frother with Stand, Chrome
Customer Review: Does not live up to billing
Summary: 3 Stars
Perhaps my expectations were too high, but this has been a bit of a disappointment. Skim won't froth period, 2% will froth if cold, and whole will froth if it is tepid. If you are using this for something besides frothing milk for espresso, etc., this it might be o.k., but that is the lone reason for me for this purchase. I will be looking into an actual frother. Harder to clean up, etc., but botom line I need something that works, and this comes up just a little short.Customer Review: Better than Pump, easier than Steam wand

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1BN5KOVH1H4OJ 1st time, I didn't even know what I was doing but I was able to make high volume of nice foam (very fine and creamy) from Aerolatte. I own a Briel cappuccino maker with milk frother/steam wand. It steams milk well but require Barista level skill to make good froth! I also own a Bodum pump which requires way too much energy. Aerolatte is my most favorite tool to froth milk now. It works well with both cold or hot skim milk and very fast (10-15 seconds). Sorry about the video, that was my 1st time using it without prior practice. I can master it in less time now. Milk froth tastes a little airy (not as good as using steam wand) but still better than using hand-pump.Customer Review: Don't buy this product!

My first Aerolatte died after a couple of years. When I tried to contact them about the guarantee I had to e-mail someone in Europe. The e-mail received no response. Neither did my phone messages. I finally sent a fax and after a month or two they told me to contact a store in New Jersey who never responded to my inquiries. By that time I had purchased another Aeorolatte & that one uses batteries so rapidly & vibrates that I stopped using it. You have to heat the milk first in a microwave and the Aerolatte isn't that easy to use & can take off the finish in your coffee cups. The foam isn't great either. The products aren't reliable & the guarantee is a farce. The Aeroccino, although more expensive, is a much better buy as it heats & foams in one container & the foam is much better. Don't buy an Aerolatte. Customer Review: Stopped working shortly after purchased

The Frother appears to be built well; I really liked the stainless steel construction. However, out of the box, it didn't work that well: would spin very slowly at first and then ramp up to a higher RPM. Once in the milk, it would bog down and stop spinning until I pulled it out again. I replaced the included batteries thinking they were bad, but it didn't help. Finally, after about five uses, it quit working all together. Maybe I got a lemon...Customer Review: Nice product

The Aerolatte does precisely what the manufacturer claims it will do.Nothing more, nothing less.
Having just returned from Italy, and having been reminded of the delights of coffee drinks with hot, foamy milk, my spouse and I thought we were destined to drag out the old machine with the cranky, fussy steam nozzle. But no! We found this little baby. Bliss.
We've only had it about a week, so I can't comment on long-term reliability. But if it breaks in 6 months, I'll just buy a new one.
