except a brittle plastic disk which holds the screen and a second stainless steel disc onto the handle shaft. This was given to me several years ago as a gift. It froths milk fine. It's not like these folks have a stranglehold on the Milk frother market.
I cannot believe folks keep buying crap that breaks easily. At least try another brand, which I am going to do. More junk for the landfill. But all they did was send me a canned response telling me to buy a new one if it was out of its 30 day warranty.
But not only for the thin glass. I wrote the company asking for a replacement part, which I told them I was happy to purchase. I started using it again a few weeks ago. The brittle plastic developed small cracks and finally broke last week, rendering the whole frother useless.
Most parts are stainless steel. But as a few other reviews have alluded, it is fragile. I noticed this when I first got it, and have been extra careful.My issue is with the plunger.
However, there are frothers that are easier to use (i.e. The glass is extremely thin, and the metal lid and pump/frother make it pretty top heavy.
(I've gone through 3 of these). I have set this down a few times in the sink, only to have it topple over and shatter.
This is a good frother in that it does what it's supposed to. My only major complaint is that this breaks VERY easily.
If you don't want to deal with broken glass and/or have kids/pets who may knock this over and hurt themselves, I'd suggest looking at another milk frother. You fill it up with milk, pump the handle up and down a few times, and you're good to go.
the handheld battery-powered ones) that require less set-up and effort.
the milk frothing was a mess, the steel part was soo small and short and splashes everywhere while it makes 10 sec lasting water down froth, finally it stoped working and I returned it again. its wonderful if all you need is a milk frother. did so much research and tried Bialetti's mukka express cappuccino maker, it did not work for me at all.
it worked so good and made a whole bottle of creamy not bubbly foam. do know that you might wanna be more careful with it not to drop it( it's a light thin glass). I'm soo happy I finially found the one.
I wanted to create the starbucks foamy latte/cappuccino coffees for a long time already. and it is such a mystery. wish all milk froth suffering cappuccinoaholics be saved by this tool
After I returned it I got the Hamilton beach cappuccino machine, the expresso was light and couldn't switch to any stronger mode. I gave up until I give it a last try with the much cheaper Boujour milk frothing pump.
(For sweetener, I sometimes stir a thimble-full of Splenda into the froth).I like my coffee straight up - dark and black - but I've enjoyed a froth toppping now and then.The inventors wisely include a long-handled sturdy plastic spoon. How does this little gadget work. Highly recommended. I understand that a metal spoon can chip or even crack the glass tube. It's a mystery - about 1/3 cup of skim milk bursts into a sweet froth with 20 plunges. My favorite concoction is a before-bedtime (and apres-cross-country ski)concoction of hot cocoa, toppped with froth, sprinkled lightly with cinnamon and/or nutmeg.
