I was debating between just buying a frother or buying a whole machine like a Nespresso. I opted to go the less expensive route. The unit works well, my only complaint is the unit gets hot pretty quickly & it starts to sound like it’s struggling, but it works. It froths the milk perfectly. I just hope this doesn’t burn out fast. I took off a star because the unit itself heats up pretty fast & it sounds like it’s struggling as the milk gets frothy. Other than that it’s great.
