Cappuccino Frother

[smurfchops]

Recommendations please for a cheapie cappuccino frother, up to £20, and do they work with semi skimmed milk? A few on Amazon, but would rather be recommended by an ABer... Thanks all :)

Oh I bought a lovely little battery operated whisk from Amazon and it was fantastic. I will look through my Amazon and see if I can find it for you

[smurfchops]

Thanks Martin, very kind of you.

Milk Frother - Coffee Frother Electric Whisk - Powerful Latte Cappuccino Frother Wand – Hot Milk Foam Maker -

Although it’s out of stock but it was only a tenner

[Toorak]

A tip I got was to use a stainless steel jug for the milk

Going by the description (which appears to match word for word) and the price, this seems to be the product that MM has recommended:

I use mine everyday with skimmed milk. Love it.

Do they work with black coffee?

[gingejbee]

^yes, they do work with black coffee - if you add a teaspoon of soot before use...

Thanks ginge, I've been hating the taste of Fairy Liquid.

Eating froth means swallowing air, which gives wind, what's the point?

[AuntPollyGrey]

You don't eat the froth Khandro it ends up over your lip like a moustache :-)

I use this one by Aerolatte. Got it on Amazon but it's not currently available.

Just make sure you don't fill your cup to the brim...leave a cm or 2 ;)

I put Bailey's for my coffee in my frother. Absolute heaven!!

[eleanor2]

Sharon, I'm going to try that! x

[-SharonA-]

Eleanor, do. You will be hooked as I am.

[rockyracoon]

Sharon, do you put milk in with it as well, or is it just Baileys?

//Sharon, do you put milk in with it as well, or is it just Baileys//
I have tried both ways and mine works better when there is a splash of milk. Just a splash mind you. Try it.

[rockyracoon]

I’ll give it a go after dinner.
