Ikea Milk Frother 303.011.67, Black by IKEA

I purchased this to replace my $20 Aerolatte that met its untimely demise when my well-meaning 8 year-old threw into a sink full of water. This milk frother does exactly what it says it does- it creates a beautiful silky foam on the top of your beverage. I use this for my almond and hemp milk hot chocolates and chais. One could use it easily on animal-based milks; because of the fat content animal-based milks they form thicker more velvety foam anyway. This product works on all kinds of milk. It is NOT a steam wand though- it just creates foam. In the absence of a steam wand, I heat my drink of choice on my stove top and then finish it by sticking this frother into the cup and turning it on. You can use it at the top, slightly beneath the surface (to avoid splattering) or you can plunge it down to the middle. Either way will create beautiful foam. Please note that this is an Ikea product that sells for about $3 in the store. Our nearest Ikea is an hour away, so I chose to pay the extra $4 to avoid driving two hours total for a $3 product. It does have a cheaper feel than the Aerolatte, which is most noticeable when you're sliding the button down to turn it on, but because you only use it for a few seconds at a time it doesn't bother me.

When I first opened the package I was a bit put off and was disappointed. I couldn't believe how this thin, odd shaped thingie was going to make froth. The device looked so flimsy. After putting in 2 AA batteries I was ready to test this out and make some froth. Boy was I mistaken! Looks are deceiving!! I put the round wired end of the frother into the cold milk, turned it on and watched it beat the milk into a good 1" froth. My only real criticism was the way the frother was packaged. Would have appreciated it being shrink wrapped as opposed to tied to a piece of cardboard. Other than that, I would highly recommend this .

This little blender worked great the first few months I had it, but after it was in storage for the summer due to moving, it didn't work again. I got it out after settling into my new place and was never able to get it to work again, even after cleaning it up and inserting new batteries. The battery door eventually fell off after trying to insert different batteries so many times. At least it was cheap, but still not worth any amount of money. You definitely get what you pay for with this, I guess.

I don't live near an IKEA but kept seeing folks recommend this frother, so decided to give it a try. It works reasonably well at frothing milk, no complaints about its functionality. It starts to feel weak if you're frothing more than about 6oz of milk, but it seems to perform fine if you froth larger amounts for a longer time. The on/off switch feels loose, and it's very difficult to insert batteries due to the hinge on the battery case. I'm happy to use this one as long as it continues to work, but I'm already considering replacing it with a different brand at some point strictly due to the awful battery case.

This is a workhorse of a frother! When I first received it, I thought it looked and felt cheaply made. The black plastic felt cheaper than most toys you would find at the dollar store. However, do not let the weight or materials of this frother dissuade you from purchasing it. The frother is a powerhouse and can work for a long time! It easily blends and froths milks, powders etc. I use it to mix powdered chocolates into milks, blend matcha for tea, froth for my cappuccinos, cornstarch into water, even for mixing powdered mixes for gravy and such! This is an essential in a well stocked kitchen. It don't take ,cut space and uses AA batteries. The batteries take a very long time to die too, as I have yet to replace them!

These are great little products. I use mine daily to mix my energy drink. However, there is one big caveat: If the wire shaft is bent at all, the frother will not work correctly. It will "cavitate", stirring poorly and not frothing. The recent one we received had only a slightly bent shaft in the package, but it was enough to make the froth head wobble and not froth. I was able to carefully bend it just a little to make it more straight. It now mostly works, but I was not able to save another one where the shaft became bent in a drawer (which is the reason we bought this one). As long as the shaft is not bent, it is a nice product.

This is a cheap, functional and effective tool for frothing milk for making Latte. I use a Gaggia Classic expresso machine which does have an attached steam wand for frothing milk, but its easier to use this IKEA electric (battery) device (a kind of whipper, and easier to keep clean) rather than using the steam wand. The IKEA frother is a cheap alternative to the similar but fancier and more expensive Aerolatte frother. These devices wear out after a few years of daily use, and need replacing from time to time The cheap IKEA one is a good choice. A real barista would probably frown at using this "shortcut" to milk froth for Latte, but I like using it.

This IKEA Milk Frother works great! I recently purchased a Nespresso machine and the only thing missing from my morning espresso and almond milk combo was a foamy top layer. I used the frother this morning and it made my coffee perfect! It tasted like it came from a coffee shop. If you like lattes or cappuccinos, I totally recommend you buy some kind of espresso machine and a frother, and you won't have to spend $5 on a coffee every morning. One last thing--this IKEA product is available at a lower price from IKEA's online store (and I'm assuming their brick and mortar stores as well). However, if you don't live near an IKEA like me, it is cheaper to buy it from Amazon if you have Prime because shipping alone would have been $10 from IKEA.

Very durable. Have been using it for months.

Molto comodo da usare con l'interruttore lungo il corpo, al contrario di quelli con il tasto di accensione "in testa", per nulla ergonomici

Perfect quality 👌

This is my third whisk over many years. Great little gadget for mixing. Thank you.

Good product
