Cappuccino Creamer - 6 - cups (induction)

perfect for making hot chocolate!
I bought this frothing pitcher as a way to make hot chocolate. After reading all the reviews of steamers and the difficulty of getting good results, as well as the apparant exploding danger reported with some of them, I saw this stovetop frother and decided to try it out. It turned out to be a perfect fit. Exactly what I wanted: a way to heat milk without it burning. Turns out the frothing mechanism also blends melted chocolate shavings perfectly. And, the end product is very pretty, too. Great buy!

outstanding frother
I'm truly amazed at the effectiveness of this device. Frothed milk with a meringue-like consistency provides a perfect topping for any coffee beverage. Additionally, frothed cold milk mixed with chocolate powder produces an eminently satisfying milkshake.

Doesn't froth milk
I tried this for a couple of weeks but it just doesn't froth milk as well as the french press i was using which only cost $12! I thought that being able to heat the milk in the frother would be great but this was a big disappointment, especially since it is so expensive. i returned it.

Frabosk - Cappuccino Creamer - 3 - cups

The PERFECT frother!!
This frother is PERFECT!! It makes great foam for cappuccino and it's so easy to use!! Clean up is easy too. I bought this frother after I bought the the Bialetti "Musa" Stove Top Espresso Maker. Now I can make coffee house style cappuccino at home any time I want! Love it!!

perfect foamer
I've had the nespresso auto foamer, kinda ok, but not great. It would foam well about 50% of the time. This thing works EVERYTIME. I heat slowly on low flame, pump it a dozen times when ready and then tap it like in the coffee shop. You HAVE to tap/hit the base on a hard surface, it makes it thicker, I'll look up what the effect is at some time, for now, trust me, it works. Overall awesome, low cost, perfect foamer. Like in the high end coffee shops, bring out your inner barista, do it with a towel over your arm and slight condescension, it brings out the flavéur.

Terrific -- follow the directions, though!
I tried my frother as soon as I got it this afternoon, with mixed results -- I didn't see bunches of creamy foam. This evening I read the booklet that came with it and noticed that there were directions in bold about using COLD or HOT milk, not room temperature. I am certain that my milk (2% fat milk) was not the right temp earlier. I tried pumping cold milk right out of the refrigerator, and I pumped for a good minute. Perfection!!!!! I'm certain I'll enjoy this for many many cups of latte, cappuccino, hot chocolate, even chai tea! ;)

Lola Espresso Maker - 3 Cups by Frabosk

What "Lola" wants "Lola" Makes !!
I looked for several stovetop espresso makers and finally
found this one!.It heats up fast & makes great Espresso!
I purchased this 3 cup and drink all the delicious rich
liquid in a large cup....it starts my day off right!! =0)

great espresso maker
I wanted an espresso maker which was made in Italy, and this was my choice. I'm glad that I got it, because it works great. Espresso in about 6-8 minutes.

unhappy with the product
The product is physically attractive, however beware that you cannot take this off the stove without an oven mitt or protection. It would've been nice if the handle had protection on it. I bought it without reading closely at this particular detail. I have owned many espresso percolators, and I rate this at the bottom of my list. You are better off with a Bialetti. They are sturdy and last long. When I attempted to return the product, they were wiling to accept the return at my cost and add a 20% repacking fee if they item was used. It was not for me, but perhaps it would suit others.
