Instant Pot Milk Frother, 4-in-1 Electric Milk Steamer, 10oz/295ml Automatic Hot and Cold Foam Maker and Milk Warmer for Latte, Cappuccinos, Macchiato, From the Makers of Instant 500W, Black

As a coffee enthusiast, I can never go back to making espresso drinks without this! It makes such nice, cloud-like foam and has totally changed my home coffee making game. My friend has a Nespresso milk frother (~$100 value), and I believe this milk frother makes the same cloud-like quality frothed milk at a fraction of the price of the more high-end brands. In addition to this product's value for its price, it is very easy to use and clean. As an aside, I also want to comment on Instant's customer service. In today's age, I have found that many sellers on Amazon have horrible customer service, so I like to give shout outs to brands that have great customer service centers. My experience with the Instant customer service team was impeccable. I first purchased this item certified refurbished on Amazon Resale, and it stopped working after 1 month of use. I reached out to their customer service to see if they would replace it, but was not sure if they would since it was a refurbished product. The customer service team was very kind, helpful, and understanding of my situation. After providing them with video evidence of the item not working, they promptly sent me a replacement! If you are looking to step up your espresso/coffee game with a milk frother, I highly recommend this Instant milk frother!!

Initially I loved my Instant Milk Frother. Bought in February 2024, and in October 2024 it became temperamental. There is a panel on the side that lets you select cool, warm, light or heavy froth. When you plug the Frother in, the panel lights up and you can push a button to change to your preferred froth of the day. After 8 months the panel would not light up when plugged in. I’d jiggle the frother on its base and after a minute or so, it would light up. Eventually I would unplug-plug back in, jiggle, rotate it around, squint one eye and curl my lip and tongue and it would light up. After a month of this, no more lights at all. I contacted customer service who wanted pictures showing it was plugged in and no light. Wanted pictures showing something else plugged in the did light up, I used a nightlight. I even sent a video! I was told that if the panel on the side got wet, it could short out and would no longer work. I knew not to submerge the frother in water, and I never just let water pour over the exterior. I was careful to hold it away from water and carefully stuck it under the faucet to rinse the inside. So yes, it was possible that water did splash on the panel. After reviewing the manual, there was a line item warning to only clean the exterior with a damp cloth. After sending all the photos, receipt etc that they asked for, I have heard nothing back. My last email to customer service I stated I hope they could do something for me, but anything less than replacement of the frother would lead me to look elsewhere for a less temperamental frother. Nothing from customer service since. So if you do buy the Instant Milk Frother, be very careful to not let any water splash on the control panel.

I’ve been using this milk frother for a few months now and I love it. After some experimenting I determined that the heated setting was for me. Whole milk seems to work best. It makes a nice thick foam that lasts for the whole mug of hot chocolate. Often now the unit shuts off before the froth is well-formed, but I just restart it and it finishes the job. Now I won’t prepare my hot chocolate without it.

Update at bottom I have been using a handheld frother for a little over a year. It works really well, but since I use it so often, I decided the ease of an electric would be worth it. After much searching, I decided on this one as good for the price. I've had it for a little over a month, and I'm very happy with it so far. There are four differen settings: cold foam, warm light foam, warm thick foam, and warm with no foam. Though it does foam a little in that setting, which is odd, but whatever. I always drink skim milk, so I can't speak for other types of milk. - The most important thing to me is the froth. It makes GREAT froth. I gave it five stars solely for this reason, even though it's not flawless. The froth is amazing. I typically use the warm thick foam setting. It's so very thick, and smooth, and fluffy. Some pours out into the drink, but often there is a good portion that I need to coax out with a spoon, which I love. The light foam is also nice. I like it to mix in with a beverage, but generally my motto is why light froth when you can thick froth??? I tried the cold froth for my daughter, and it was equally smooth and fluffy. - It's super easy to run. Just press the button to choose the froath that you want and press the button to start. It starts and stops on it's own. - Fixing my negetive statement concerning the frother overflowing. It doesn't. Review was due to my bad eyes and the difficult to see "min" "max" lines in the container. - It's not dishwasher safe. I wasn't looking for dishwasher safe because I used my handheld once or twice a day. I knew I would want to use this one before I could run a cycle through the dishwasher. If you want dishwasher safe, keep looking. - It IS easy to clean. Super easy to wash out with a cloth or sometimes I just put a drop of dishsoap and some water in the container and run the cold cycle. The one thing I dislike is that the mechanics are in the bottom of the container, rather than in the base it sits on. You have to be careful not to get it too wet, and I'm always paranoid I'm going to do something stupid to wet and ruin it. I haven't yet. And I'm probably not. - I think the cord is a little long for a countertop appliance, considerably longer than my coffee machine and WAY longer than my toaster. To me this is the most annoying thing about it because I really dislike seeing cords. A more "countertop appliance" friendly cord would be easier to tuck and hide. UPDATE: After using this great little frother 2/3 times daily for a year and a half, it died. I've had virtually no complaints during that time and stick to everything written in my original review..... for the dead frother at least. I replaced it with a duplicate. I missed my froth so much and was SO excited when it arrived. That one just wasn't the same. I did everything exactly the same. Same milk, same amount. same setting, same kitchen, same everything. I tried over and over. It was worse than my handheld frother. :( I sent it back and got them to send another one. It's great... thankfully because this froth has become one of the little joys in my life. So if you get one and aren't content with the way it froths, send it back and ask for a replacement. Maybe you got a lemon. 2nd UPDATE: Have been using the replacement. It worked GREAT for a little while then declined in froth quality. It still works well. I get a nice enough froth that I'm enjoying. But it's not amazing anymore. I do believe (from looking at videos/reviews as well as trying a few others) that this is the best quality for the pricepoint. Not sure if I'll get another like this when it eventually breaks or if it's worth trying something more expensive.

Others have said this but there goes. We love this pot. It's simple and does a great job. We've gone through I don't know how many wand style frothers and this is so much better. But there are some things that are frustrating about it. - Don't froth with the lid on. At least in our experience the lid design actually catches the frothing milk and causes it to overflow and spit from the spout. Which leads me to... - Trust the max fill line for frothing! They aren't messing around. It will pour over. When we tempt fate with even an extra 1/8' it froths over. - Don't get the outside wet if you can avoid it. It's true. If you get water in it - I'm not sure if it's via the panel or the bottom - the heating element won't work. We thought we had a lemon on our hands until the manufacturer suggested we just let it sit for a couple of says to dry out. They were right. It's been fine ever since. Frustrating design flaws? Yep. That's why no five star review from us. But once we figured out these quirks, it's been smooth frothing for us! Pro-tip: If the max frothing level doesn't give you enough milk for your needs, use the heating setting (on the for right) with a full pitcher first. Once that's complete pour the heated milk out down to the max frothing level. THEN do the full froth. Pro-tip II: You may know this, but low-fat milk doesn't froth very well. You can still do it, but it doesn't last. :)

This product has a great non-stick coating and cleaned easily. The problem is that I had one for a year and it just stopped working. I thought it was because we used it so much. Then I bought one for my daughter and hers just stopped working in less than a year. I bought one for me 3 months ago and it stopped working out of the blue. I did the troubleshooting but had no luck.

I love this milk frother, it is so easy to use for making up lattes. It looks nice on the counter and doesn't take up too much space. If you are looking to dip your toes into homemade lattes but don't want to get a full espresso machine with a frother included this is a great start! Can hold more than enough for a single latte and heats the milk while it foams. Will def give your coffee a little elevation

This is a great frother when it worked. It creates super foam very quickly and it's easy to clean. I loved it. But, like others have mentioned, it started working more intermittently after maybe 6 months. If I didn't use it for a week, it would work again for a few days in a row and then not work again. This lasted maybe another 6 months or so. Eventually, it just wouldn't work at all. I never soaked it in water or dropped it. It was great when it worked - just wish it had lasted longer.
