Love this frother! The Bean Envy handheld milk frother is powerful, easy to use, and makes creamy, café-style foam in seconds. I’ve used it for lattes, cappuccinos, and even to mix protein shakes, and it works perfectly every time. The design feels sturdy and high quality, and it’s compact enough to store anywhere. If you love coffeehouse drinks at home, this frother is a must-have! Read more

I have to admit- I didn't buy this for frothing- as I don't really care for frothed drinks. I wanted something small that I could whip up a single scrambled egg quickly, without having to use my large egg beaters and a good-sized bowl, or have my corded Braun hand-held blender sitting on my counter, or have to dig it out from the back of my cabinet. This worked perfectly and it's so small I don't even notice it on the counter, in it's stand (9" x 1 3/4"). My egg came out light and fluffy- just like with an egg beater. I used a small ceramic coffee cup and a titch of milk. (No spraying everywhere! Very quick, easy, and tasty.) Just for the heck of it- I tried it in my left-over 1/2 of a medium luke-warm cup of McDonald's coffee (cream + 1 sugar) and I got froth! (I only had 1/2 left in a medium sized cup so I didn't notice any spraying mess. Not sure how easy it would've been with a full HOT cup?) I tried it with 1 tablespoon of regular half and half in a small coffee cup, with my hand blocking the top- and nothing happened after a good minute of frothing, except to have my hand covered in half and half. (I guess you do really need cold cream in a cold container, if you want whipped cream.) I was hoping I could use my regular ingredients to whip up an individual, lighter calorie, portion of whipped cream. Disappointed. ; ( The only 2 cons I have- is that you need to hold it up-right, down VERY LOW in the sink when cleaning or you'll end up spraying everything in sight- including yourself! (I tried to hold my hand around it and accidentally hit my finger- OUCH! Don't do that.) Yes, it's that strong. And also, it's a very tight fit to put the 2 AA batteries (not included) in this. Make sure you use the little ribbon that's attached or you'll never get them back out again. And follow the + and - signs inside the battery cavity (one goes up, and one goes down.) Now to see how long it lasts..... Read more

I've now had this handheld milk frother for about 8 months. We use it about 3-5 times a week, usually to froth milk for 2-4 cups of coffee, making ourselves some nice lattes. I didn't want to invest in an expensive espresso machine with a steamer/froth attachment, so we chose this as an alternative option. So far, we've had no issues with the function nor performance, other than having to change out the battery. Pros: 1. Super easy to use- just press the top button and froth away 2. Very easy to clean- just run it a few times in a cup with water/soap mix, rinse off, and let it air dry on it's stand 3. A breeze to store away as it comes with it's own little stand, which is compact and doesn't take up much space. We have ours right next to our coffee machine. 4. Attractive design- has a sleek, modern look to it. Cons: There really aren't any except maybe the potential longevity of the product? We've used it for 8 months so far and it's still working fine. If it works another 8 months, I'll still be quite pleased, as I paid very little for it. We've replaced the battery only once and haven't had any other issues. It's intended for light usage. That's the important note. If you are frothing many cups a day, every day of the week, you probably should invest in a higher grade frothing machine. This is designed for casual drinkers, maybe a cup or two a day. For the price you pay, ease of use, and durability thus far, this little guy gets 5 stars. It's a great way to make expensive tasting coffee/lattes without leaving your house, or hurting your wallet. We've been able to froth milk, almond milk, low fat milk, soy and even creamer. A tip is to slightly warm the liquid prior to frothing (not too hot, just warm). The froth seems to come up better and quicker, and also last longer. You also want to make sure you fill your cup with enough liquid to allow for the frothing tip to rotate properly. Too little liquid and it will hit the bottom of your cup, and not create sufficient froth. At least 1/2" to 3/4" would be good, and if less than that, tilt the cup so you can collect more liquid to froth. Enjoy! Read more

So far so good. Bought this as part of a health themed gift. I swear by milk frothers for quick dissolving and mixing of powder supplements into coffee, or simply nondairy milk or plain water. Quicker, easier than pulling out a mixer, less obnoxious than using a shaker cup. I still use all those things, but I find myself grabbing for the frother nearly all the time. I also like it better than just a spoon for swirling coffee syrup, honey etc. And yes, it also works nice to froth up some milk. I assumed the recipient would also fall in love with it, but we will see. Comes with a stand. Just need to add 2 AA batteries. I preinstalled some as part of the gift. Battery compartment was a little tricky. Need to keep the ribbon tucked deep down in place lest the battery will not sit evenly. Dont want to avoid using the ribbon as this is what helps take the batteries out when the time comes. I had tried that option and got freaked out when I couldnt easily take out battery. I had to smack the handle to get it to pop out. So yeh, keep the ribbon in place. Then with the cover, you will need to tuck the ribbon in or the cover wont snap locked. As for performance, just press button on top. I think keep pressing to keep it going. Stop pressing to turn it off. Rinse then put in its stand. I only did a quick test before tucking back into box and giving it as gift. I will update if I hear anything more about it. I intend to ask. Read more
