Excellent Frother
I have to say that this product surprised me. I usually have problems with all things electronic, but this frother/heater was so easy to use that it almost makes the directions that come with it useless...ALMOST!

The outside as you can see is a lovely easy to clean, slick and shiny high gloss steel, the interior is nice slippery non-stick surface. The lid has a fitting inside to hold whichever of the whisks you aren't using at the moment. This is perfect so that you don't loose the tiny pieces.

Garelick Farms brand gives excellent results for the cappuccino foam. I usually add a 1/2 packet of sweetener directly before turning it on. I like to run it twice: once on medium heat and then again on no heat. This seems to give me two layers of foam - the top very light and airy and then below a nice creamy dense foam.
