Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Froth Au Lait FAL-W Frothing Unit, White
Customer Review: Hard to clean, stinky plastic smell
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, this froths and heats milk very well, no question about that. You dump in some milk, put the lid on, hit the switch and voila, very frothy, beautiful steamed milk. But, then, get a whiff of the milk's smell, ew, it smells like hot plastic from the container, not tantalizing. I have been using the froth au lait now for over a month, and the smell is fading, but really, folks, who designed this? I think for the majority of people the smell would be a total no go (imagine serving a nice plastic cappuccino to guests).
Then, moving on to cleaning, this is SUCH a pain. You cannot put the blender in the dishwasher, so you are stuck having to scrub the bottom out EVERY SINGLE TIME to get the milk scum glued to the bottom. Again, a very poor design. It is also not a nice-looking appliance.
I hear that returns are also a big pain from this company, so I am going to use this for a year to get my money's worth or until it breaks, then buy something else.
I just want other people to know this before they buy it.
Description of Froth Au Lait FAL-W Frothing Unit, White
The Froth Au Lait Appliance is as simple as its name. Quickly and easily, you can turn milk (lait) into delicious froth to top your favorite hot beverages and desserts. Simply pour milk into the Froth-Au-Lait pitcher and place it on the power-base. Cover the pitcher, turn it on, voila, c'est froth - foamingly rich and hot. Dollop it on coffee, cocoa, tea, pie or cake. It's a tasty, professional touch for dessert presentations at your dinner table. Deliciously hot and whipped froth brings you to the brink of ecstasy each time. Shouldn't you order the Froth-Au-Lait today?An ideal accompaniment to a coffeemaker or espresso machine, Froth au Lait's electric frother prepares delectable, thick frothed milk in minutes, turning the regular morning cup of coffee into a dream drink. You can also create topping for desserts, hot chocolate, and more. Once the milk is added, the frother mechanically agitates and aerates it to create rich froth. It works for up to 1-1/2 cups of milk (1-1/2 cups generates about 6 cups of froth), and takes about three minutes to complete the frothing cycle. The sturdy plastic pitcher comes off the base to pour the froth. It's also possible to add syrups to the milk as you're frothing it, in case you have an urge for a hazelnut cappuccino. A recipe book is included to get you started. --A.J. Rathbun
