IKEA Milk Frother Review

If you are a daily coffee drinker and don’t want to spend extra money for a professional and solid milk frother, this highly-rated and inexpensive IKEA PRODUKT foam-maker is the right tool for you.

MilkFrotherTop is going to explore this budget frother and evaluate its functionality.

Main Specifications

This is a handheld type of frother. This means that the device includes a wand with the frothing whisk on the end, which should be submerged into milk to make foam. This is a cool budget tool that easily transforms flat milk into a gorgeous froth in 15-20 seconds. It has a powerful motor that works very quietly. This tool runs on two batteries, which are not included. This is an ideal choice for those users who don’t like a hassle with cords.

Here are the basic technical parameters of the appliance:

Design Elements

This frother features a strong stem made of stainless steel and a whisk coil. The handle has a black plastic finish and is equipped with a power switch.

The device is very compact and doesn’t take up much space on the counter. As it is battery-operated, this makes the frother very portable.

Included Accessories

The appliance is quite cheap, so it is not equipped with any additional accessories. It doesn’t come with a useful stand, as more expensive models have. However, this has helped to diminish the cost of the frother significantly.

Quality of Use

The appliance is simple to operate, and it doesn’t even come with a manual that explains how to use it. To start frothing, insert the batteries into a special compartment, observing polarity. Immerse the whisk into the liquid just below the surface and push the button on the handle.

Hold the wand in the milk for half a minute or until you get the desired milk consistency. Move the whisk in the milk up and down to let more air in. If you want to stop the power, push the button in the opposite direction.

The frothing can be made with both cold and warm liquid. Any kind of milk will do.

This gadget is multifunctional and has an excellent productivity. It can be used as a mini-blender to mix other liquid foods (eggs, sauces, soups, cocktails, etc.). The frothing can be made directly in the mug.

The frother makes quality, creamy foam every time. If the wand begins to wobble, or if the milk is not foamy enough, replace the batteries with a fresh set of AA.

Cleaning Options

This IKEA milk frother is not dishwasher-safe, but it requires little effort to be cleaned manually. Rinse the stem under running water. Then, carefully wipe the tool with a dry cloth.

Another way of sanitation is to dip the spinning coil into a glass with warm water and switch the tool on. Let it work for several seconds.

Remove the whisk from the water and dry. If the tool requires a thorough cleaning, add some soapy solution in the water.

If you clean the appliance right after use, this makes the cleaning procedure easier and faster, and the tool will never form milk deposits. Hold the handle with batteries away from the water.

Product Cost

The price for this handy frother is very customer-friendly. This is a good deal. In some stores, it costs less than one cup of coffee at Starbucks.

This appliance is worth trying due to the low price and good foam quality. With only a few dollars spent, you will get an opportunity to make marvelous foamed beverages at home. This cannot even be called a money investment. Most people buy a pair to keep an extra on hand.

Pros and Cons

To know this little gadget better, here are its advantages and drawbacks. They are grouped according to reviews by customers who have tested this tool.

Summary

Even if you already have a professional frother at home, you may face problems of using or cleaning it. Most high-grade models require more time for their maintenance.

This foam maker from IKEA is a great option that saves you time on a quick morning before going to work. This device is very popular due to its cost-attractive price. You can buy several tools – one for your own needs and the others as gifts to your family members or friends.
