AROMA AFR-120B Hot X-Press Milk Frother Review
I normally buy my lattes, but decided to try this to make some at home. Although I didn't have any stronger coffee's I just used a normal peet's coffee and mixed it with the frothed milk. All I can say is I love it. The black top part of the frother is mainly plastic, the inner cup that holds the milk (only 1 cup) is a non stick surface and is easy to clean. It comes with 2 attachments, one for lattes and one for cappuccinos. Operation is easy, pour milk in to the line that says latte or cappuccino. Put plastic clear lid on, press button 1, 2, or 3 times depending on hot, med, cold and that's it. the grey base with the plug stays on the table while the black handled portion just lifts off so it's easy to use. then just wash and wipe the non stick surface and it's ready again. The plug is short though, maybe 2.5' at most. So if you like the taste of the steamed milk at starbucks this does almost the same thing and the foam looked legit. Recommend it for home coffee enthusiasts.I bought this item with the intention of making lattes. The latte attachment is terrible, it barely froths milk. I just end up with a thin layer of foam and warm milk. I gave this item three stars because the cappuccino attachment is okay, it creates some nice foam. I bought this for convenience, but I think I'll go back to my stovetop steamer. I'm returning this.
