This time, the Epica milk frother will be scrutinized closely and there is definitely something to show off and tell you about. Don’t doubt that the review of this device will be full and fair, which helps reveal all the aspects of its performance. Stay tuned!
Main Specifications
Today we are going to scrupulously examine an automatic device that potentially can be your irreplaceable helper for providing everyday morning coffee with fluffy milk on top. It’s all about the Epica automatic milk frother. But first things first, it is highly recommended to get familiar with its technical specifications.
Capacity | Material | Number of programs | Dishwasher tolerance |
---|---|---|---|
For froth 4.25 oz./125 ml., for heating 8.5 oz./250 ml | Stainless steel, plastic | 2 | No inches (20 cm) |
Design Elements
The product doesn’t differ from other automatic milk frothers significantly. There is a stainless body, or in other words a heater carafe, that comes with a transparent plastic lid and a base.
The exterior design of pitcher doesn’t have anything redundant except buttons that run a particular program. The frame for buttons is made of black plastic and the buttons are made of rubber, thus the pressing doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable. The buttons won’t make you confused since the indication marks are quite clear: a picture of steam for warming up and frothing, while snowflakes indicate that you’ll get froth from cold milk. There is also a light indicator which has a blue color that shows if it is a running or completed program.
The interior design of pitcher is very simple. There is a black plastic cover inside with convex lines that indicate a lower and higher level of liquid. The lower line is for the quantity of milk that is intended to be frothed, while the higher is for the maximum quantity of milk for warming it up.
The transparent lid prevents from accidentally spilling any substance while it’s being whipped. Thus, the lead adheres nicely, so the user can be sure that his kitchen counter won’t be messed up.
Besides all the elements that are clearly seen on the main part of frother, there is a black plastic handle that is attached to the pitcher body and allows handling.
And last but not the least is the base. This runs the milk frother since it has an electricity connector on it and a cable with plug at the end. And, of course, it’s made of black plastic.
Included Accessories
This gadget works only with one spring, that, it should be admitted, works nicely. It makes dense foam for your favorite drink in just seconds. Besides the detachable part of this device, there is nothing in the box. However, if you want to try new recipes you can always visit online resources that will guide you on what to do and what ingredients to use.
Quality of Use
The electric milk frother is the obvious winner compared to handheld and manual devices. First of all, they don’t consume your valuable time and you can turn on the program and leave it. Another thing is the capacity. The capacity in pitchers that have a separate base is usually larger as well, while handhelds typically don’t even have any containers at all.
The user’s only concern about the Epica machine is to pour a particular quantity of milk and then switch on the button. Each button runs a program that differs by time and purpose. The upper button warms up the milk, and if you detach the whisker, makes fluffy froth. The lower makes froth and leaves your milk the same temperature as it was before pouring it in.
There is a secret feature of the pitcher, thanks to its vacuum insulation – it makes your milk stay warm for a long time. Another thing that is also worth saying is its ability to froth non-dairy milk, thus Epica frother can please anyone.
Cleaning Options
As you can see, the construction of this item is not appropriate for the dishwasher, since it has an electricity connector at the bottom of the pitcher. However, as all frothers, it also requires regular cleaning. How can this be done? It’s easy as a pie. You can wash the pitcher with tap water, but be careful and prevent water ingress into the connector. Even if this happens, don’t be upset as you can remedy the situation – just wipe the connector with a dry soft tissue or you dry it with a fan. The main point is the velocity – the quicker you react, the safer it will be. Otherwise, you’ll get a useless device that will go to the waste bin.
After you wash the pitcher with tap water you should wipe it with a soft towel in order to avoid damage to the inner cover, otherwise milk will burn on the bottom and sides.
Product Cost
You probably have seen lots of marketplaces with the same item. However, all the sellers change the prices, so you are confused.
Don’t worry about that! You should understand that manufacturer can’t accept a lower or higher price than recommended.
Thus, all the prices can change – that’s a fact; however, they can’t differ significantly, otherwise they are in danger of being fined. Thus, this device stays quite affordable among lots of competitors.
