Bodum Bistro Electric Milk Frother 10 oz

Overview

Bodum's Bistro electric milk frother heats and froths up to 1 cup, or 300ml, of milk at a time in a stainless steel body with a Tritan plastic lid. It stores its cord in a removable base and shuts off automatically once frothing finishes. A non-stick interior is included for cleanup.

This is a smaller-capacity frother than most, built for a single cup rather than multiple servings, which suits someone making one drink rather than a round for the household. A transparent lid lets the foam be watched as it forms, and level indicators mark how full to fill for different results. Bodum backs it with a 2 year manufacturer warranty.

• Heats and froths up to 300ml (1 cup)
• Auto shut-off when finished
• Transparent lid, non-stick interior
• 2 year manufacturer warranty

Who it's for

One-person households or anyone making a single latte or hot chocolate at a time who wants a compact frother that stores its own cord. Not built for multiple servings in one cycle, given the single-cup capacity.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The frother heats and whisks up to 300ml of milk per cycle, shutting off automatically once frothing completes rather than needing a manual timer. A non-stick interior coating is meant to ease cleanup after each use, and the transparent lid lets the foam be watched as it builds. The base holds and stores the power cord, keeping it compact for leaving out on a counter.
