Ninja Coffee Bar Easy Milk Frother with Press Froth Technology, 5 oz. Clear/Black

Excelente

I only use this with cold dairy milk. I suppose you could warm the milk first but I love the contrast between my hot coffee and cold foam on top. You won’t get the same result with almond or oat milk but soy milk makes okay foam but not thick and creamy.

Short of a pro level espresso machine with a powerful steaming wand...this is the next best thing! Perfect for the 1 or 2 people (and probably more) wanting to make a great latte or cappuccino at home. I have used higher end Saeco fully automatics with milk frother and wand options and a Jura ENA that also has a milk system. They are OK...but not worth the cleaning headaches and time and frankly, don't do a great job. This little glorified french press is the bomb. In fact, I used to use a small french press for the same task. But this is purpose-built perfection. So much cheaper than the heated stirrers like Nespresso Aeroccino (pick your version, they all get bad reviews) or the Breville. Just pour a few ounces of milk in, pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds while your espresso machine of choice is serving you the shots. Pump it fast or slow, 4 to 15 times, depending on how aerated or frothy you want your milk, pour it in and enjoy. After your first sip, rinse with some tap water...pump it up and down a few times and you're good to rest it to dry for the next day. Put a drop of dish detergent in and repeat the process, followed with pure water if you really wanna clean it good. Then kick back and enjoy the rest of your drink. People who have broken this carafe must be clumsy or they got a different product than what is now shipping (July 2020). This thing is more durable than any french press I've owned. It is small so I suppose you might topple it easier...but c'mon, it is glass. Use some care and don't be an idiot and you'll be fine. The folks who designed the plunger really did their homework as it lets you fine tune your milk just how you like it...all just by altering the speed, intensity and repetitions of your plunges. Buy this and don't look back. It's inexpensive and it works better than any other sub-$150 solution.

Update:the screw-on cylinder keeps loosening so you have check before you begin to make new froth.to make sure its tight. I didn't know this and started pushing harder and then it broke. 😢. Ordering a new one, gonna see if checking the tightness regularly helps.Original review:have purchased a few different frother wands, frothing machines, and steam wands (connected to espresso machines). This little ninja is ny FAR the best bang for your buck. Makes cold foam just as good as Starbucks. And now I can officially make my own cold foam cold brews 🙌. I haven't figured out how to do with non dairy milk yet, nor have I flavored the cold foam (ie. Pumpkin powder, lavender powder, matcha powder) but I will certainly try, but even if o can't get my coconut milk or almond milk to foam, I'm still happy with this $20 cold foamer. SCORE!

We love this little milk frother. I used to make lattes using an espresso machine that included a steam wand frother and it made pretty decent froth, but it just took a while to use and clean. When we got our Ninja Coffee Maker (which we love also) this frother came with it. At first, I was skeptical (being the coffee/latte snob that I am haha), but 20 pumps of the handle on this thing later, I was sold. It is SO easy to use and clean! Add milk to the max line (or lower if you prefer less milk) microwave for 1 minute, give the handle 20 pumps and BOOM - froth just like you'd get in a coffee shop. Give it more pumps if you like your froth a little thicker! Be careful though, because it will get very thick! Cleaning is also a breeze! The lid and pump come right out of the glass and just give it a quick rinse just after use - clean as a whistle. Even if you let it sit for a little and the froth dries on - it's very easy to take apart (the pump is just a screw) and scrub with soap. Also, the whole deal is dishwasher safe - so that's also an option.I do have 2 complaints though. First, the frother is mostly made of very thin glass. This is a plus when it comes to getting the milk warm in the microwave, but it also means it's very breakable. We've had to replace ours 3 times over the course of 4 years because there is no forgiveness when it comes to drops. So that is my major complaint. Second, (and this is very minor) the rubber base on the bottom, while great for preventing slippage, falls off all the time. I wish they would have just made that a permanent fixture or at least made it a little tighter.Anyway, overall I would absolutely recommend this product! It's low cost and so easy to use and there are ZERO compromises when it comes to quality. Great job Ninja!!!
