Question: What are these bags good for carrying?

Cannot say enough about these bags. We've been using them for a three months now and they are AWESOME!--The handels are strong and hold tough even when they are packed heavy.--The plastic inserts show zero signs of cracking or wearing out.--The vibrant colors are fun and help remind me to grab them from the back seat of my car (where they "live")--They ARE washable! We put one through the wash with all the other clothes and it came out in one peice! My husband thew it in the dryer (to my horror) but it came out just fine! A little wrinkled, but nothing an iron couldn't fix. In the future I will def be air drying them to maintain their crisp shape.The only con is that grocery store baggers tend to pack them TOO FULL! I have to remind them, "please pack the bags 1/2 full" or they are just too heavy and I have to worry about things getting crushed. However, when it comes to camping and going to the beach they are perfect for snacks, clothes, extra towels, garbage can, or whatever! We do not travel without one or two in the car anymore!

Answer: snacks, clothes, extra towels, garbage can, or whatever!

Question: What setting had not been tried out yet?

New off-white carpeting and a sick cat do not make good combos. Tired of hand scrubbing the carpet w/mixed results we opted to try the SpotBot. We are *thrilled* with it.Solidly made product. Easy to set-up. Simple to use. Fortunately have not had to use the deep stain setting - but the 3 minute cycle setting cleaned up all the messes in said time. The set it and forget it way is great when you have other things to do and the beeping upon completion won't allow really forget it.There is also the more manual process w/a hose for stains that don't fit into the circumference of the auto-brushes. That worked well too.Why only 4 stars? I don't have longevity w/the product - and hopefully it won't be used daily, but so far so good.

Question: Using what item will muffle the sound?

I needed a loud kitchen alarm that I can hear from another room. I liked that this model is capable of doing many hours too (which can be good for 24 hour fermenting on yogurt) or a several hours on a roast/turkey.The magnet on the back is robust enough to hold the heavy body weight up on the kitchen door or a metal panel. However, just be cautioned that using the magnet will muffle the loud volume somewhat. It is still very loud, but less loud when magnetized to the wall. I recommend if you need max volume use the stand on the back it projects the sound much better that way.I love this company. They stand by their products are their customer support is awesome. If you ever have issues with your product they are amazingly helpful.

Question: What produces great hoagie rolls?

This Baguette pan, works wonderfully! I baked 6 hoagie rolls on it, at approximately 7 inches long, works like a charm, Beautiful coloring on the rolls, they are light and airy.

Question: How many times do they drew coffee?

I'm such a sucker for the stars ratings. This one got 4 four stars at the time of purchase so I thought it would be a good bet. When we got it, I immediately realized that I didn't take into consideration the size of it. There are only two coffee drinkers in our house and this is just way too big for our needs. We decided to keep it since we occasionally have guests over but for the 1-2 cups that we brew on a daily basis, this is way too big. It's very tall and the carafe is difficult to pour from unless it's full. Normally, we only have 2 cups in there and trying to get out that very last bit usually results is spilling it onto the counter. The carafe manages to keep the coffee warm even though it's not heating it but it's not super hot as well. I like my coffee HOT, so I pop it into the microwave for another 30 seconds. All it all, it makes a decent cup of joe but I would look at other coffeemakers if you don't need the 12-cups.

Question: How many pairs on a hanger cause the grips to loosen on the hanging mechanism over time?

My closet floor used to be a magnet for slacks. No more! These wonderful hangers hold onto a pair of slacks with a vice-like grip. Even the heaviest, thickest corduroy pants can't get away. The pincer-like holders have a rubbery padding at the tips, so no there's no damage to fabrics from the strong squeeze.The slacks sit rather high on the hanger, so they're less like to get lost among the other garments in one's closet. Another plus.I used to be so short of pants hangers, that I'd hang two pairs to a hanger. This makes getting slacks out of the closet quite a struggle and also loosens the grip of the hanging mechanism over time. I'm so glad I thought of looking for hangers on Amazon. Finding them locally would have been a hassle.I don't stack these hangers, but use them individually. I'm completely happy with them.

Question: What happens if the legs collapse?

This set of 3 stackable cooling racks seems to be well made, with one caveat. I was a little surprised that the legs don't lock into place (at least not that I can find), so you'll have to use both hands to hold the legs in place while sitting the cooling racks on the counter or stacking them onto each other. Otherwise they tend to collapse, potentially dumping your baked goods into the floor. The folding legs are nice when it comes to storing them, since they take up less space, but there really needs to be a way to lock them into place during use.

Question: On what date was the review updated?

I tried all kinds of non-plastic containers for dressings and all of them either leaked or were huge heavy glass. This finally gets it right for ketchup, peanut butter, cream cheese, dressing, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, or even toddler portions of things like raisins or nuts.They are stainless steel cups with stainless steel lids. The lid has a screw-on mechanism to lock it and a flat silicone ring fused to the inside. The silicone being fused on is nice so it can't get lost or fall off in the dishwasher. They are style neutral for adults or kids with no paint to chip off.They have gone through the dishwasher no problem. It's a great idea, long overdue.Update 5/31/13The silicone gasket has loosened and is warped (probably from me being so lazy and washing it in the dishwasher-even though it says it is dishwasher safe). But it has made is nearly (but not altogether) impossible to close them with a leak proof seal. I continue to use them, since I never trusted the kids to thread the lids on securely anyway, I can deal with it.

Question: What is beveled?

This spatula is excellent for smaller food items such as 1 egg or a hamburger in a smaller pan.The front and sides are beveled to slip under the food easily. It has a nice angle to get into the pan properly. There is no worry about scraping the finish on the pan with the soft material on this spatula.I have only had this spatula for a short time now and have had no problems with it as some of the other reviewers have mentioned. I guess time will tell.It seems to be well made and comfortable to use. Glad that I bought it so far.

Question: What is its size?

I have been using this wok for several weeks and I really like it. It seems to conduct heat very well, so things cook quickly -- and the steamer basket is HUGE! Of course, it's hard to stir fry chicken and steam veggies at the same time (impossible, really, since you need to keep stirring the chicken but you can't with the basket on top), so it's mostly a one-or-the-other situation.I have two negatives: First, I have noticed that the non-stick coating seems to have tiny little scratches in it. Nothing major, and the teflon is still intact, but I have definitely noticed some lines that weren't there beofre. This is disheartening, as I have only been using wooden spoons and there should be no scratches this quickly in any case.Second, the metal handles tend to get very hot -- too hot to handle without a pot holder or gloves or something.Still, this is a very nice wok and I do recommend it.

Question: What other size bread machine does this manufacturer sell?

I would say this is the best breadmaker ever, but it's the only one I've owned. After careful consideration and reading other reviews, I picked this one almost 3 years ago... and I'm so glad I did! I know my bread is going to turn out great every single time. Want everyday bread for sandwiches? Done. Want a fancy bread for a special occasion? Done. Want to make dough or jam? Done. Like I said, I have no idea what's even in the bread aisle at the store because I can easily make it all at home.It's only me eating the bread, so I find this size to be about right - I can eat it up before it goes stale. If I ever need to upgrade to a 2lb loaf, there's only one brand I'll consider.

Question: What are the reviews like for this product?

I've had this kettle for almost a year now and I am glad I have decided to buy it despite the bad reviews. For me, it is working great and I love it. I use it several times a day. I have an electric tea maker from T-fal that I bought in France but if I don't want to use the tea maker, I can just make the perfect cup of tea using the right temperature. Also, I have a coffee French press and if you want to make a good cup of coffee, you need to be able to heat the water at the perfect temperature. This kettle has a French press setting. I have nothing bad to say about this kettle and I hope it last for a few years. I really recommend this item. It's worth the price if like me you make coffee in a coffee press and if you love different kind of tea.

Question: What product are they using now?

This is a great product! I use a Swiffer on my hard floors (tile and wood) once a week. However, the first time I used this, a day after using the Swiffer, the dirty water in the collection tank was black! The FloorMate made my hardwood floors look nice and shiny - better than I've seen them in a long time. On my tile, it cleaned a lot of dirt out of the grout; it didn't get it all, but it certainly made it easier to clean the little bit that was left. The unit does a nice job of sucking up all of the water/cleaning fluid from the floor; on the wood, it was completely dry after using, and on the more porous tile I have in my kitchen, it got most of it. Using the machine is simple - very similar to vacuuming, but you do have to go kind of slow to get all of the dirt. I've never used the previous generation of this machine, so I have no idea if this is a downgrade or not, but I have been impressed with it so far, and my floors are much cleaner than they have been since I've owned this house!

Answer: FloorMate

This is a great product! I use a Swiffer on my hard floors (tile and wood) once a week. However, the first time I used this, a day after using the Swiffer, the dirty water in the collection tank was black! <hl> The FloorMate made my hardwood floors look nice and shiny - better than I've seen them in a long time. <hl> On my tile, it cleaned a lot of dirt out of the grout; it didn't get it all, but it certainly made it easier to clean the little bit that was left. The unit does a nice job of sucking up all of the water/cleaning fluid from the floor; on the wood, it was completely dry after using, and on the more porous tile I have in my kitchen, it got most of it. Using the machine is simple - very similar to vacuuming, but you do have to go kind of slow to get all of the dirt.

Question: What consumer process does the reviewer not enjoy?

I honestly was very skeptical about this product, I've just heard similar claims for other products that barely made a difference. I don't like "upgrading" something I already have if it isn't worth it. However, I saw this had good reviews so I put it on my "Christmas list" and someone bought it for me. And to my delight, it actually worked. It scrapped the sides wonderfully. Normally when making icings or batters I would have to stop the machine, find my spatula and push the sides down, and even then some parts may mess up because it didn't blend correctly. But not with this. I just add what needs to be mixed continuously.

Question: What happened to the second mixer?

I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. It died while making cookie dough. This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically.The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week. I never expected miracles: bread flour is hard to knead and I'm careful about kneading times and quantities. This is not a professional machine, it's a home appliance. Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.So, I have reluctantly come to agree with the Kitchenaid bashers here. Based on my experience, the current crop of mixers is not high quality and my next mixer will not be Kitchenaid, sorry to say.It's sad to watch an iconic brand destroy its reputation.

Question: How many grind sizes does the user use?

Over a year old now and used multiple times each day. I generally use one grind size so I'm not doing a lot of shifting between sizes so cannot speak to haow well the grinder holds up to constant grind adjusts.Love the design and it's very easy to keep clean (inside and out). A very well-designed product.Two negatives:1)The grinder *is* loud, but that's hard to get away from in any burr grinder this size. Fortunately, the timed grind of the Breville allows me to walk away while the grinder runs and then auto-stops.2)The grinder cannot go fine enough for either a fine espresso grind OR a coarse French press grind.

Question: What else can you peel besides apples?

My wife and I pick our own honey crisp apples in the fall and we usually end up with quite a large "reserve", so she'll make pies and apple crisps and other deserts. Rather than try to peel apples by hand like we did in the past, we wanted something to speed up the process. Apple peeling (even with two people) can get pretty tedious if you're not really good at it.This peeler does a great job of that (can go through a dozen Apples in 3 or 4 minutes once you find a setting that works for your most common apple size), but one complaint I have is that it tends to take a lot of the apple with the skin if you're not careful. My wife and I ended up eating a bunch of the ends as we went along because it would shave thick chunks off either end. Not a big deal if you're at home but if you want to use this for a bakery or something it might lead to a fair amount of apple waste if you have a lot of apples that are not "symmetrical" or mostly round.That said it's sturdily built, looks pretty cool (like it belongs in an old-fashioned kitchen), and got through the first 4 dozen or so apples we tested on it without any mechanical problems. We'll see how it stands up to next fall's test / if any of the thiner parts break, etc. Will update if it does. If no update you can assume it's working great a year later.(Note: we have not tried it on potatoes.)

Question: What had happened to one of the towels?

I washed all of these before using and by the time they were de-linted in the dryer, there wasn't much towel left, one was shredded, and two others had strings hanging from them. Won't be of any use in the kitchen for wiping up spills and such.

Question: When the towels arrived what did they have a lot of on them?

Who would ever think that two little tiny stripes of color would make a white towel look so darn elegant? Not me. This touch makes these towels something special.The towels are larger than a standard bath towel, somewhere between the standard size and a bath sheet. I'm a big guy and this is just about the perfect size. The towels arrived with a lot of sizing on them and really need to be washed a couple of times before they are super soft and absorbent. One side is nubby less and absorbent. The other side is super absorbent, smoother, and feels a bit like a microfiber towel (it isn't really that fine, just close to that feeling).These are just so darn nice.

Question: What was the author's existing vacuum missing that was needed for this cleaning project?

When I decided to do a through cleaning at home (moving all the furniture, lifting the bed), I knew I needed something other than my standup vac (which is very powerful but lacks vac tools). I had very bad experiences with those horrid cordless Dirt Devils, which lacked power and waste space. This little corded vac is great! It's got excellent suction, is very easy to clean, and has just the right tools to get those nooks and crannies than the standup vac wouldn't reach. I highly recommend this vac for someone who needs a small, corded vac that's powerful and an easy clean.

Question: What was the size of the new coffee pot?

I'm like one of the other reviewers. I've owned the 3 cup, 6 cup, and when my husband constantly asked me to make another cup for him in the morning, I decided to buy the 12 cup so that I could save myself a few minutes.Well it didn't work out that way. The first couple of times it worked well and I was excited. But then it was a crap shoot.Sometimes it would brew the coffee, while other times it would not. Now it just won't push the steam through at all. After wasting pound of coffee on testing various ways and or amounts by which I could get a more consistent result, I have given it up. Not worth the head ache. I've gone back to using my trusty old 6 cup espresso maker.

Question: How would this user change the water reservoir?

The iron is light-weight, so it is easy to handle and maneuver. Also, the instructions are very simple and understandable, which is nice given that the iron has many functions. The steam feature has many different uses, including an upright steam capability. There are three different steam intensity settings depending on an item's fabric type. The compartment that holds the water for steaming is transparent, which allows me to predict the need to refill it, so I'll never be stuck without water in the middle of ironing. Overall, I am very happy with my iron as it is easy to use and does a great job.If I could change something about this iron, I would make the tip more narrow for increased precision. Also, it would be convenient if I didn't have to empty the water storage container after every use. Other than that, I am quite pleased!

Question: How should you prime the pump?

While I can't speak to the long-term reliability of this product (only had it a little while), I can say that providing several feet of tubing to feed into a bulk bottle of hand soap was a stroke of genius. All of these in-sink soap dispensers have inexplicably narrow-necked bottles which makes them very difficult to fill without crawling underneath the sink and unscrewing the bottle. If you try to fill from above with typically-thick consumer hand soap, it simply overflows and spills all over your counter. Using the included tubing to feed into a gallon bottle of hand-soap eliminates all that hassle.Make sure you follow the priming instructions... if you try and prime with thick hand-soap, it'll take you forever. Prime from a glass of water, and when it starts dispensing, switch over to the soap.

Question: What do the measuring cups not do?

I'm using these for sugar, cornstarch and dried mushroomsPros:- lightweight- handle makes it easy to grab from a cupboard or shelf with 1 hand- easy to open and close- works well with measuring spoons or cups up to 1/2 cupCons:- Difficult to pour stuff out. The rubber seal gets in the way. You need to tip the container more to get over the rubber seal, so you don't have as much control over how much you pour or where it is going.- Bigger measuring cups don't fit.I wanted to use these containers for flour, but I need a cup at a time. The measuring cups didn't fit, and it was difficult to pour an exact amount, so it didn't work. But they are very good for stuff you frequently use in small amounts, or for dried stuff you can take out with your hands.

Question: According to the reviewer , what were the items that they paid almost 25 dollars for?

So, I just paid almost 25 dollars for some rough chunks of glass. They look nothing like what is pictured, nothing. One is significantly smaller than the other two, with a rough jagged spot. The product pictured looks like smooth stones. The things I got, two at least, just look like flat plugs. And the third looks like a cast off from a glass blowing place. Who knows. Terrible. I wouldn't normally leave such a bad review, but these were ridiculous.

Question: What is a bit small on the holder?

love this product; set up was sooooo easy; no screws at all, just follow the instructions step by step, takes about 20 mins to finish; soooo light and so portable. I put it to use last nite after a load of laundry; saw some minor flaws...1. due to it being so light, when you hang heavy towels, it feels like it could tip, so you'll have to balance the other side with another similarly heavy towel or garment2. the sock clips are a great idea, but they're made of plastic, I broke one already during installation3. space between each rail on the individual racks are a bit small, but manageableoverall, nice product

Question: What date was the last update given by the reviewer?

This carafe keeps coffee hot for several hours. The 8 hour claim is exaggerated; the liquid may still be warm but it will not be hot at 8 hours. It's stainless inside so no worries about a glass liner breaking. I have not noticed any flavor taint because of the stainless liner. It's a good buy for the money.UPDATE 12/09: Still using this carafe daily. Still keeps coffee hot & looks new.

Answer: 5/2013

This carafe keeps coffee hot for several hours. The 8 hour claim is exaggerated; the liquid may still be warm but it will not be hot at 8 hours. It's stainless inside so no worries about a glass liner breaking. I have not noticed any flavor taint because of the stainless liner. It's a good buy for the money.

Question: How was the product designed?

OXO makes pretty good kitchen and household products and this is one of them. I wasn't aware that they produced hampers though (where are the rubber grips!) ;). This is a cleverly designed item: the grips are strong, the flaps nicely spring back after clothing has been stuffed into either of the two chambers and the cloth material of the entire unit seems durable and good for the long haul. When Laundry Day does comes around, the top piece pops off and the clothes are easily pulled out. The overall size of this hamper is not too large, but is actually quite capacious.Recommended, but will you spend $60.00 for a clothes hamper?

Question: How does the cord get stored on the warmer?

Great product! I have to say this lunch warmer heats food quite evenly, much better than a microwave. My husband and I keep stash of healthy leftovers in 2 cup round glass containers in the freezer to grab and go. These work beautifully with the lunch warmer. The night before, I choose lunch for the next day, put it in the frig to partially thaw and my lunch is ready to slide into the crock pot warmer once I get to work the next morning. No spills on the way to work as it is partially frozen, and the 2 cup amount is below the max fill line on the metal insert. I must say I am looking forward to our next road trip as I plan taking 2 crock pots, a cooler and an inverter to help minimize the monetary and weight gain expense of travel. I've read complaints about the cord length (3 ft), but any longer would make it awkward to wind and carry. Liked this product so much, I bought 7 of them as gifts, all greatly appreciated....even got a lunch text photo from my son, the engineer and a big thank you from my Marine! Enjoy

Question: What brand of mixer did the person purchase?

Recently my husband and I upgraded most of our small appliances and cookware. We opted for the Kitchenaid mixer and Calphalon cookware, and decided to skimp on the blender, figuring a blender is a blender and what difference would it make?It makes a big difference. We bought an Osterizer for dirt cheap at a local kitchen supply store and were not impressed with its capabilities. At this point I thought about buying the Kitchenaid but wanted to wait a little while, since the price was rather more than we wanted to pay for a blender.Around Christmas my husband and I visited back home. His grandparents have the Kitchenaid 5-speed blender. We were quite impressed with its capabilities in making a great mudslide; although there were still tiny ice chips in the drink, the blender did quite well in mixing everything very smoothly and with a minimum amount of noise (for a blender anyway).I was able to find one of these wonderful blenders refurbished through Amazon. Since I had earned a couple of gift certificates through my Amazon Visa card I got this for practically nothing. I must say, this would still be worth it even if I did pay full price. Even though it is refurbished it looks like new, and works great. The past few nights my husband and I have enjoyed the same great mudslides that we had in California, and I'm giving away my old Osterizer.Another impressive thing about this blender is its sturdiness. With the glass and the strong base, I'm not worried about this breaking; I was worried about that with all of the flimsy plastic of the Osterizer. When trying to make smoothies on the Osterizer I always kind of winced, afraid that it might blow up at any second. I don't worry about this with the Kitchenaid; this is very obviously a sound appliance.If you are in a money crunch, it's probably best to wait until Amazon has a refurbished model of this blender available; the only visible difference is it comes in a box that states that the product is refurbished. Also you usually won't have your pick of colors; you'll only be able to choose whatever color they have available. But whatever the price this is a great blender and you won't regret the purchase.By the way, I did A LOT of comparison shopping at other sites before I found the refurbished model here at Amazon; Amazon does have the best price on new models that I found, even without the current rebate that Kitchenaid is offering.

Question: How many pets does the author have?

This was on sale at such a good price that I had to try it. I always wanted a cordless vacuum but didn't think it would really do much so I never bought one. This one breaks that rule for sure! It actually works! It is so easy to use this instead of my regular vacuum cleaner everyday. This one will be my go-to one for most of the week from now on. I will only have to use my full vacuum cleaner a few times a week now. I love this little sweeper. I have 3 cats and one dog and it cleans up even pet hair incredibly. I can vacuum the whole middle level of my house on one battery charge, including my sectional couch. It charges quickly as well if I want to take it upstairs later in the day. This little charmer is a keeper in my house and here to stay.

Question: Which kind of improvements have been made in this version of the product?

Purchased this to replace the sensor soap dispenser that I'd loved and used for many years until it up and died. This version has some design improvements, including a larger opening to refill the soap chamber, a rubber dispensing "tip" and the elimination of a lower front foot that used to get soap scum/residue and water spots.I was also worried that this new design would not work with my preferred soap -- Bath & Body Works "kitchen lemon" -- but it works just as well as, if not better than, the old model.

Question: How long is the warranty?

What a great hand mixer. It is inexpensive so I was worried, but I shouldn't have been. It comes with 3 different sets of beaters that store in a container that the mixer sits on. But that is not the best part. This mixer has SO much more umph than my old hand mixer ever had! I have used it on many different recipes and it has NEVER bogged down! Plus I went to the Hamilton Beach site and it has a 2 year warrenty to fix or replace. If you want a hand mixer that has all the gusto without having to drag out your full size mixer, this is the one for you!

Answer: 2 year

Question: What are the knives made of?

These beautiful stainless steel steak knives come in an elegant ebony box with gleaming chrome hinges and clasp. They are far sharper than any steak knives I've ever owned; examine the closeups of the knives and you'll see that they are not only serrated but scalloped, too. Those serrations are deep and toothy. When I got the knives, I experimented cutting not only steak and chicken breasts (which they cut beautifully) but also Muenster cheese (thin slivers) and tomatoes (paper-thin slices). The knives handle any task thrown in front of them with ease.As with other Pinzon products I own, these knives are of excellent quality, well balanced and comfortable to hold. They would look beautiful with fancier place settings as well as day-to-day fare. Keep them away from the kids, though, as they are quite sharp.Although they recommend the knives be hand-washed to maintain their beauty, I'm tempted to put one through the dishwasher just to see how it holds up in terms of spotting but also sharpness. I'll have to wait to do that, though, until the effect on me of their sheer gorgeousness wears off...which I doubt will be soon.If Pinzon is not careful, they are going to become the new IKEA--all the rage with many devoted fans.

Question: What negative  characteristic did this person find it to make it clumsier to handle?

I read the reviews then decided to order it. All went well with shipping, seller, etc. It is fantastic; solid,and so easy to just push the button and let it do all the work. For me, the only little problem is sometimes trying to get the top on after filling it with beans - it's hard to tell where to set the top exactly and how to get it to twist so the arrows are aligned, so sometimes I have fiddled with it awhile before it clicks. Also, pouring the ground coffee out into a paper filter can be a little sloppy, but that is probably the case with any grinder. It is heavy, so may be a little clumsier to pour than lighter ones. All in all, I would buy this again and stick with this model.

Question: The customer states that he doesn't really like what kind of hot beverage?

I am a big fan of cappuccino, and it's probably the espresso-based drink that I most frequently order when I go out to a coffee shop. I have a small espresso machine at home, but until now I was not able to use it to make any of the more involved coffee concoctions. This little Eparé milk frother has enabled me to froth-up my own milk.The frother is very elegant, easy to use and operate, and it sits very comfortably in your hand. I've used it to froth up some regular milk, and have tried it as well with rice milk. The regular milk was mostly a success, albeit the froth was not as "stable" and rich as i would have liked. The rice milk was an almost complete failure. Despite my best efforts I was only able to produce a very small amount of froth. Others might have a better success with this device than I do, but right now I would not recommend it to the lactose-intolerant types.The frother was extremely easy to clean. You you submerge the whisking part into the soapy water and turn it on a few times, and then just rinse it afterwards.If you are really serious about getting frothy milk and other drinks I would recommend that you check out one of those steamers. If you are less picky about such things than this small frother would be more than adequate.**** Product provided for review purposes. ****

You you submerge the whisking part into the soapy water and turn it on a few times, and then just rinse it afterwards.If you are really serious about getting frothy milk and other drinks I would recommend that you check out one of those steamers. If you are less picky about such things than this small frother would be more than adequate.**** Product provided for review purposes. ****

I am a big fan of <hl> cappuccino <hl> , and it's probably the espresso-based drink that I most frequently order when I go out to a coffee shop.
