Just Awesome
I own the Saeco Talea Giro Plus Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver and Titanium, Silver and Titanium. I paid almost a thousand dollars for a machine that makes excellent expresso. I love Starbucks, but hate spending $10 a day. I also like good froth on my expresso. My machine has the steamer function for the milk froth, but it is Messy and time consuming. Yes, I am usually running late to work. Plus, it is the exact opposite of why I bought an expresso maker, I want fast expresso and milk. I have used the microwave to heat the milk and a want to froth it. Not perfect, but that was working. But I wanted a machine that is easy to use, quick to clean, and FAST. Frothing your milk can take an additional 4-5 minutes and let’s be honest, is messy. I have tried wandsAerolatte Milk Frother, Satin, batteries go out and you still have to stand over your milk, not the best solution. I bought Saeco MI-GL-04 Milk Island, 0.4 Literfor the machine and it was both messy, expensive ($130), and time consuming to clean. I bought the BonJour Caffé Maximus Manual Frother. It is nice but again, I have to use the microwave and it was a hassle to clean. I found this CAPRESSO frothPRO. I was apprehensive. I spent so much money just to get a good glass of froth and heated milk. But it was on sale for about $43 on Amazon and so I went for it. BEST PURCHASE in several months. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this device. It makes very good froth and heats the milk, while I tie my shoes and prepare to leave for work. Now I can make my coffee in less than 5 minutes, while I do other things. And it is SO EASY to clean. Rinse it with hot water, run it in the frothPRO for 20 seconds, dry it, and out the door. It is ready for tomorrow’s use. I have used it to make hot chocolate, AWESOME! Rich, creamy, hot chocolate with slight foam. YUM! If you like hot milk without froth, you can also use it to heat your milk without the froth by removing the froth disk and placing the heating disk (VERY SIMPLE). You can just heat your milk in the microwave, but at least you don’t have to worry about it boiling over and making a mess, so that is a plus with this machine. It is a great buy and would recommend it to anyone. GREAT FROTH, EASY TO USE, EASY TO CLEAN, HOT MILK; it is just perfect.Update: 12/12/21 I was surfing Amazon and saw that I have been using this now for 10 years. Unlike several other reviews I’ve seen, my machine has lasted 10 years. I must have got lucky. I use this pretty much every day. I rarely go more than a week when it has not been used. Ok vacations excluded. It’s a must for the fastest and yes, best instant hot chocolate. I tried k-cups, this is hands down the best. Plus, I prefer to use milk over water for my hot chocolate. Great for lattes and foam when needed. This is a must own product in my home. It heats milk perfectly and better than microwave. It’s also easy to clean. I love this product and highly recommended. If mine ever does break, I have this link ready for one day prime delivery. I can’t be without this product.

Excellent Product
Summary – More detail will follow this summary, but for brevity, here is a summary of my thoughts. This machine was delivered on time via standard shipment. It was packaged well and no damage was noted. The functionality of the heating and frothing exceeded my expectation after some experimentation with various types of milk products. There are a few nuances to its use, avoiding spills and getting the best results. Skim milk provided the best overall repeatable performance. Unit cleaning is only needed on the occasion of spill-overs to the heating plate, but there is a simple resolution. The froth container and lid are dishwasher safe and so day-to-day cleaning is simple. Longevity of the unit will follow in the future if warranted; however, I have seen no reason not to expect years of good service from the unit.Delivery – In general, I tend to order items on regular/standard shipping or take advantage of the free shipping options when offered as I am not usually in a hurry to receive the item. As many frequent shoppers of Amazon know, we often get the items far faster than promised or at least ahead of schedule anyway. My experience was this product arrived on time per standard shipping .Function – This unit promises to provide nice heating and very thick froth for a variety of hot and cold drink possibilities. I am an avid cappuccino drinker along with the occasional hot chocolate and was interested in the promised professional results this machine offered. I usually read directions to make sure I do not misuse products and so I began there. The directions are concise and beyond the warning to NOT overfill the 4oz line when frothing, the directions are very straight forward. There really isn’t much to know in the operation of the unit in terms of what buttons to push nor in what not to do. There is some variation in the results you will get depending on the raw materials (milk fat content) you decide to use.We tried Fat Free half & half, Skim, 1%, 2% and whole milk (~4%-6%). The Skim milk provided the best day to day results. The results overall reveal that the lower the fat content the better the frothing will be, save for the fat free half & half, which we believe has other ingredients that interfere to some extent the frothing process. Further research showed there are several tiers of fat content that provide similar results but they are with products with fat content in the heavy cream and whipping cream range and above which are likely not the milk products desired for the typical coffee, cappuccino or similar such drink. In some cases, adding a bit of sweetener before frothing in the holding cup, helps the froth taste, but may also contribute to overfilling so be alert to that.A very important rule to keep in mind here though is to NOT overfill the holding cup above the 4% line when frothing as you will have spillover of milk on the hot plate. While this can be easily cleaned, it is best to avoid all together. Also, if the froth was not quite thick enough, trying to run the froth cycle again guaranteed a spillover and thus this is also something to avoid. If you do spillover, simply let the hot plate cool and use a bit of baking soda with a damp cloth or brush and the burned milk will come right up. I don’t recommend letting burned milk to build up on the unit as it’s obviously going to inhibit the heating and frothing. Keeping the unit clean should keep it running the longest. The cup and lid have done well in my dishwasher. The only caveat being: remembering the disk and extracting it from the cup. I am not sure it would matter in my dishwasher, but we hand wash those little guys.Longevity – I cannot comment on this at this time other than to say, I see no reason to expect issues with the unit, but will certainly provide updates in this review if warranted.Good Ideas & Suggestions noted in other reviews• One user suggested that we place the extra frothing disk on the refrigerator and use the main unit for storage of the disks we are using. This was a great idea and we have chosen to adopt.• Baking Soda cleans the hot plate the best with a damp paper towel.

I just needed a way to heat up milk for my oatmeal and this product does the job reliably well.You might need a power adapter for the plug though, depending on your region.

My capresso was working well but 6 months in and now all buttons are making the milk cold. The hot & warm buttons doesn’t work.

Nice little frother. Have used for froth using Nutpods or HWC and does good job. Also used to warm milk for coffee. Easy to clean.
