Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Aerolatte Deluxe Edition Milk Frother with Stand, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Absolutely love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this frother! It makes wonderful latte- I heat up my skim milk in the microwave about 40 seconds, then use the frother for about 5 seconds. Add a little caramel syrup and my coffee and I have an incredible coffee drink for much less than Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts! Much simpler than the espresso machine I bought in January which took about 20 minutes and was hard to clean- not to mention how the steam scared me! An added bonus- my daughter drinks all her milk now since I froth her chocolate, strawberry, or even white milk!!
Customer Review: Addicted to foo foo coffee drinks

This device works great with half and half, but it does have a little trouble
with cream. It really slows down with thick liquids. I found it works better when the cream is warm. However it is a great product and it does froth your dairy products for your coffee. As long as you stay towards the top of the liquid and the liquid you are frothing is not to thick. I have been able to save money enjoying coffee at home with a head on it and that was the goal!!!

This little gizmo is fantastic. My wife is addicted to Chai Tea Latte and it has saved our marriage as I am the one who "brews up" in the mornings.Customer Review: Aerolatte Deluxe Edition with Stand vs Portable
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered the Aerolatte Stainless-Steel DELUXE Edition Frother with Stand (Chrome) in order to have
it standing handily by my Expresso machine. I had the portable version. The new one has 1/3 the
power that the old portable version has and so it has become almost useless to me.Aerolatte 1 Stainless-Steel Deluxe Edition Frother with Stand, Chrome
Customer Review: Aerolatte Deluxe Is Simple But Very Effective
Summary: 4 Stars
The Aerolatte Stainless-Steel Deluxe Edition is a very well made frother and comes with an attractive stainless steel stand. I was impressed at how easy this unit is to operate even with the minimal instructions included on the box. Basically, you remove the plastic tab from the back of the unit so that the batteries can make contact. Then you have to clean the unit when you get it by putting some hot soapy water into a tall glass, "frothing" it and then drying it off. At that point it's ready to use.
Operation is just as simple. You will have the best results using a glass that is nice and tall so you can watch the milk rising and stop before you froth too much. Start with less milk than you think you will need because this unit produces more foam than I expected. After you insert the unit, start from the bottom and slowly raise the frother through the milk without going to the top. In just a few moments you will have frothy cream.
Now there are just a few other tips included in the instructions. For coffee drinks such as cappuccino, you have to heat up your milk slightly without boiling it. For milk-shakes, you have to use milk that is cold. And for those who don't want to use milk, they make a point of saying that you can use this with just about any liquid, including soy milk. The included recipes are a very helpful start for a device I only thought about using for coffee drinks. There are more uses for this than I anticipated.
One thing that is hard to notice is that the unit moves much more slowly when fully submerged than when it is lifted toward the top of your liquid. It feels very well built, but just operates a little sluggishly when fully submerged. So if you just need a little foam, pull this about half-way through the liquid so it can incorporate air a little faster.
The main drawback to this product is that it is expensive compared to what it is. Aerolatte makes a lot of other models, including the Aerolatte Original which shares the same 5 year warrantee. Others like the Aerolatte Satin with Travel Case that are more geared towards portable use come with a shorter two year warrantee. I haven't tried any of the other models yet, but they appear to be very similar other than their warrantees and materials.
CONCLUSION
Even though this is a luxury, it is worth it. This product simply works as advertised and will be getting more use in my house than I thought it would.
Enjoy.
