Fantastic Performance. Easy to use and Clean. Use this to foam instead of my Jura machines.
I learned these first important things while from using the amazing Jura espresso machines that also foam. I have a jura for each place I live. These recommendations are important for the Breville too.1. Use high protein milk. there is a brand “Fair Life” that has 13g of protein per serving. The amount of fat is not critical it’s the amount of protein that’s most important. However, skim is not good for great foam. 2% and whole work great. Fair Life is lactose free milk. I don’t care about lactose one way or the other, this milk makes hands down the best foam ever!2. The fresher and colder the milk, the better. I check dates carefully.3. Detach wisk from foaming cup and immediately rinse both out in cold water after each batch. Quickly dry them with a clean towel, you’re ready to go again. When I’m done making the number of batches I need (only 1 is need for lots of foam, enough for 3 maybe four drinks) I do the same thing but include a tiny amount of dish soap and lots of cold water for the clean after a first quick but thorough rinse. This takes seconds to do. NO need to put them in dishwashing machine. You can soak them in water with a tiny amount of vinegar if you like but you will find that if you have soft water and dry them immediately after cleaning, you won’t likely ever actually need the vinegar soak. If you run the unit to get the milk really hot, you might get some caramelization or milk crusting on the inside of the cup, you should clean that up right away using cold and lukewarm water …. if you heat to 140 or less, which is plenty hot, and quickly clean after each batch, the crusting will not happen. Depending on how hot you run the foamer and/or how long you let the foaming cup sit with the remnants of milk in it, there is a chance you will have a tiny bit of milk crust in a groove of the wisk. In this case I soak the wisk in a mild vinegar and water mix. This is an irritant but considering the design of the wisk is an integral part of delivering great foam, I have reconciled myself to this slight nuisance.Depending on the milk itself, protein, temp and freshness, 8 0z of milk, using the cappuccino wisk (I recommend this wisk even for latte drinkers) heated at 138 to 140 degrees will take apps 2.5 minutes to heat and foam the milk. This 8 oz will fill a 20 oz container with foamed milk. I happen to use the minimum amount of milk appx 6 oz or so. This makes for some waste if you like a double double 12 oz latte but I can live with that.

Love it.
Works just as advertised. Warms and whips up milk to add to coffee, tea and hot chocolate. I found that the quality of milk makes a huge difference. We usually use 2% and have found different brands have different results. The unit is fairly quiet and easy to rinse. It only takes about 2 minutes to heat up.

Foams almond milk beautifully!
I scoured the internet looking for a way to foam almond milk, and found a lot of discouragement. Some people say you flat out can’t do it, some people say you have to buy expensive “barista” type almond milk…I am here to tell you that you can foam almond milk with this appliance. With a few important notes, it is easy!First, the brand matters. I have tried two: Almond Breeze (success!), Silk (no foam!). That doesn’t meant there aren’t other brands that will foam — I didn’t bother trying since I have been able to get Almond Breeze during the pandemic.Second, you must “age” the almond milk appropriately. If it is new from the store, with an expiration date 3 months hence, it foams but the foam is looser and not as voluminous. I “age” it in my fridge and have found that if the expiration date is 1 – 2 months away, I get the clouds of microfoam I love! I haven’t experimented to get more precise about how “old” the almond milk needs to be. For example, today is July 17 and this morning’s almond milk with an expiration date of August 25th foamed beautifully.Third, the almond milk must be cold.Fourth, you have to shake the almond milk pretty well in the container before pouring it into the jug.The pictures I attached are of almond milk, heated and foamed using the cappuccino disk at the bottom of the jug.I have had this appliance for two years, and I absolutely love it. I foam/heat almond milk for hot cafe au lait every morning, and foam cold almond milk for iced latte every afternoon. I have also used it for cow’s milk (skim, cold) and it does a great job — super easy to use (put jug into base, pour in milk, put on lid, turn dial and press button), easy to clean, and so on — but for almond milk it truly shines. I get beautiful voluminous microfoam (I like a lot of foam in my coffee drinks!). I have also added flavor sometimes — a little bit of cinnamon or almond syrup– and that blends up nicely.The best things about this appliance are (1) that it works with almond milk; (2) that it makes the microfoam I love, without the dilution from a steam wand (yes I know that dilution would be my fault, but I never mastered the steam wand); and (3) how easy it is to clean. Sour milk that clings in crevices is just…gross. The jug is stainless steel and can go in the dishwasher (but I just give it a good rinsing after using it each time). The tiny foamer disk in the bottom lifts right out — there’s no place for a drop of milk to hide and go sour.I have a lot of coffee gadgets that are more complicated to use or to clean after use, and have often found myself thinking “It’s not worth the bother”. There’s no hesitation to use this because it’s so easy to use, and easy to clean. Truly zero bother. I respect those true coffee connoisseurs who will labor for their daily cup; I am not one of them, and I am very very happy with this purchase.

First use I set my preferred temp, filled the supplied pitcher with oat milk, set it in the frother, pressed the button and that was it. About 4 minutes later the unit dinged and shut itself off. I had perfectly heated oat milk ready to use. The pitcher was easy to clean without any gummy milk residue. Oat milk (at least Costco brand) frothing is just so-so. Real 2% cows milk frothes perfectly without over flowing.

Caliente y espuma la leche como me gusta, y me encanta que es muy fÃ¡cil de lavar…por su material no sufre desgaste mientras te espuma la leche.
