Dualit Milk Frother | Hot milk, hot & cold frothed milk | Ideal for lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, hot chocolate & milkshakes | 84135

So far, so good. Having read a few of the negative reviews regarding product quality I was a little concerned. But, as it has a 12 month guarantee, and I've had no trouble returning stuff to Amazon, I decided it was worth giving it a go anyway. Glad I did. It makes excellent warm milk for a latte, and superb foam for a cappuccino. It is easy to clean and heats up quick. Its better than the previous electric milk frother that I had, which had given up after four years use, and better than the Nespresso Aeroccino that I have at work.The instructions say to use low fat milk where possible, as they say this gives a better foam. I previously believed that full fat milk was better for foaming, but have now used all types of milk and would agree that the low fat milk is the best for a tight, firm, foam. It still works OK with semi and full milk though, and if using the warming rather than frothing setting, I doubt you'd notice any difference (other than in your waistline!).The only negative is that it can drip when you pour. If pouring all the milk out in one cup its fine, however if you pour a little milk out then return the jug to upright (to mix your hot chocolate powder before filling with milk completely, or if sharing the milk between multiple cups, for example), it can dribble down the side. Not a major issue, just needs care when pouring.It looks smart (well, as smart as a milk frother can be!) and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality, easy to use, milk frother.

I purchased this product to be sent and used in Australia but you sent me one with an international adapter. Doesn’t make sense that you don’t mention this at time of selecting delivery address or even mention it at all.

Ce produit est destiné au marché de Grande-Bretagne, avec une notice exclusivement en anglais, et surtout une prise secteur aux normes de ce pays, donc inutilisable en France. Ce n'est pas normal de proposer à la vente un tel produit sans en avertir l'acheteur.

The Dualit milk frother is built pretty nicely, it does a good job frothing regular milk, and an ok job frothing oat milk (more to do with the brand/type of milk than the frother I'm guessing - some organic oat milks i've tried have not frothed at all, best seems to be Oatly full fat).A couple of issues I have with it:- Cleaning it is pretty easy, but there are 3 parts to clean every time you use it. Hard to improve I'm sure but annoying that you have to spend a minute cleaning it every time you need to use it, it does put me off some mornings when I really can't be bothered to clean it afterwards.- There is no lip for pouring. This is actually a pain. I make coffee for my myself and my partner at the weekend and it's very hard to split the frothed milk between two cups equally without some of the milk dripping down the side or spilling some. I don't like to make a mess. If you're a pro barista maybe you can pull it off, but it's easier to just pour all the milk at once in to a milk jug and then share it out... more washing up though, boo!

I bought this because Dualit also make Hotel Chocolat's Velvetiser. I had hoped this would word similarly, and it absolutely does. The main differences are 1. Price 2. Functions 3. Whisk size.1. The Dualit milk frother is ~£50. The Velvetiser is ~£100.2. The Dualit milk frother has a warm froth, warm and cool froth setting. The Velvetiser has only the latter two settings.3. The Dualit milk frother has a finer whisk. The Velvetiser has a more coarse whisk.The finer whisk means it creates hot, frothy, velvety milk easily. My concern was that it would struggle with hot chocolate flakes, but it operates just as well as the Velvetiser does.I've used this with hot chocolate powder, hot chocolate flakes (not the Hotel Chocolat ones though) and iced coffee powder. It worked excellently with all three, though I would recommend (in line with Dualit) you don't use it with hot chocolate powder just because this is laden with sugar, and can cause burning. Chocolate flakes are the way to go! I would recommend the warm milk setting for hot chocolate.I've also used to froth plant milks as well as cows milks, and it froths them all well for use in coffee (I used the barista versions of oat, rice and coconut milk, I used ordinary soy milk).It heats the milk to the perfect temperature, and holds enough frothy milk for two coffees. It is very very quiet - far more so than I was expecting; it's far far quieter than the coffee machine or kettle. It's also very easy to clean. I put in cold water after I've used it to the max line with a drop of washing up liquid, and set it to go on the warm setting; it effectively cleans itself.Overall I would recommend, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.
