2011 #Holiday Gift Guide: Capresso Froth PRO Automatic Milk Frother ~ #Review

With this cold winter upon us, one of my favorite ways to unwind in the evening is to sip on my favorite hot beverages. While there are six coffee shops within walking distance of my home, shelling out money every night for a coffee, latte, hot chocolate, or cappuccino can get pricey. I was thrilled to learn Capresso offers an easy to use frother for beverage novices like me! Finally I could learn to make my favorite frothy beverages in the comfort of my own home.

Capresso generously sent me their Froth PRO Automatic Milk Frother to test and review. This appliance is designed to create thick frothed or steamed milk for your beverages with the easy press of a button. There are three temperature settings: hot, warm, and cold. The frother features a black scratch resistant non-stick milk pitcher with stay cool handle, and black base with stainless steel accents. The three touch pad buttons are illuminated with a blue light indicating your desired temperature. I love that the machine includes dual auto shut-off for safety. Plus there is a storage compartment in the bottom of the base to hold the two frothing discs and one heating disc that come with the unit. This milk frother is a great companion to your coffee maker or expresso machine!

Lately I’ve been on a hot chocolate kick! To create the desired milk toppings for my beverage, I simply place either the frothing disk or the heating disk into the bottom of the milk pitcher. In the pictures I chose the frothing disk. Then I just pour in the cold milk. It is recommended you pour in 8 oz for frothed milk or 12 oz for heated milk without the froth.  Place the pitcher on the heating platform and just push a button for the desired temperature setting. For my hot chocolate, I’ve chosen warm. The button lights up and the machine automatically starts the frothing action.  When the milk reaches the chosen temperature, the frothing action will come to a stop and the appliance automatically shuts off.  Then just simply pour the milk into your beverage.

Overall I love the Froth PRO! Ever since it arrived on my door step, I’ve made hot chocolate every night or added a nice milk topping to my coffee in the morning. For hot chocolate the “warm” setting is just perfect. Plus it is such an easier way to steam milk rather then waiting for the stove top to heat up! You have to love an appliance that is easy to use and easy to clean!

Buy It: You can purchase the Froth PRO Automatic Milk Frother right on the Capresso website! The appliance retails for $59.99. You can also find a local retailer near you. (For my locals, both Caffe Pronto and Sur La Table carry them). The Froth PRO is also available for purchase through online retailers such as Amazon, which includes free Super Saver Shipping.
