I bought this frother, along with the white as a gift because I have one and use it all the time. They are amazing and a great investment for $10. Not only does this frother work great for coffee, but it is very handy for other things. I make my kids instant breakfast drinks in the morning using a powdered mix along with a protein powder. Rather than dragging out my blender, I just stir the drink with my frother. It has no problem mixing everything completely and the kids like the "froth". I've also used it to "destroy" some flour lumps in gravy when I didn't get it mixed in completely. It whips eggs for scrambled eggs. Granted, it's not high powered enough for some jobs, but overall, this frother is one of the best $10 gadgets I have ever bought. At this point, I'd be lost in the morning without it!!

I agonized over whether to buy this or one of the more expensive milk frothers or coffee makers. Some fancy models go for hundreds even thousands of dollars. I figured for $10, I would try this little guy first. I am on week 2. I don't know how long it will hold up, but so far, I am thrilled. I hate the idea of spending tons to buy one of the super fancy new coffee machines. My 20 yr old Mr. Coffee actually makes decent coffee as long as I use decent beans. Let me tell ya, you take some nice fresh Peets house blend beans, you grind 'em up, you drip your coffee. Meanwhile, pour 1/3 a cup of low-fat milk in your mug. Microwave it for 35 seconds. Plunk this little frother in there and let her rip. Keep the frother positioned at the border between the liquid milk and the building froth, so that it can keep getting air. Tilt the cup to and fro as you froth. You will not be disappointed! I can get the whole cup full of froth if I want. And, trust me, the result is 100% coffee house! Yay!Best Deals for BonJour Mini Frother
Have had this for more than a year, use every day, still working great and still on original batteries.Honest reviews on BonJour Mini Frother
after several poor, to put it mildly, experiences with another frothier from Krups, I got this since some friends like froth on their coffee or in their milk. I've had it a little more than two years wow coming up three years, have used it with friends around the house and while camping -and it's never failed. Once you get it down -it's a wonder. I runs on batteries, and so you want to make sure you have some good charged batteries around. As the batteries lose their power, this thing will slow down (DUH!) -BUT fresh batteries make all the difference in the world -and this tiny little power house has been in the far reaches of Nevada and it's heat, and dunked in water to clean and as long as you KNOW it's battery powered, and keep three sets of batteries, it should last you breakfast and breaks for years -I carry two charged sets of batteries, and one new set that needs a full charge plus the solar charger -and I've never had any trouble at all -at home or on the trail. There may be better battery ones out there -but like back-packing pressure cookers, there's not a lot to chose from and at the time this was the only one. The fact that it has lasted so long in heat and dust and water and sand and grit and kept working -I'm impressed since you see my one star rating of the Krups who make many good products, however, this is not one of them -three years coming up and no trouble if you keep the batteries up. How Long does a set of batteries last? Well I don't froth, but my friends do, and I'd give it a good 4 days with them drinking coffee perhaps four or five times a day -and then i needs a battery charge. the longer you use he set of batteries, the less charge they keep, so when it gets down to about lasting less than a day with a full charge the day before -I toss the batteries, and put in a fresh pack, and charge up the new pack -so when it slows down, it's simply switch out batteries -and while most don't think solar cells will charge by lantern light - so even when was caught in several days of clouds and snow and wind in Nevada, the battery charger charged fine off a Mantle light.It's small, it fits in your drawer and doesn't take up counter space, and if anyone wants foma -or whipped milk, it's always in the back-pack or on a shelf in the 'kitchen area' -ready to spin and do what it's suppose to!
Some people have had a problem with a frothier I also own (Aerolatte) where the screws came out of the head -electrical tape keeps the top on -as does duct tape. and I rate them the same -Aerolatte and this one are about the same in overall working quality -this one is lighter and a bit smaller for back-packing. But works well at home. Lock-tight works on screws and bolts that vibrate lose. In fact, I have to say that tape is quicker and easier than screws!

I got this for Christmas 2008 as a stocking stuffer and I figured 1) it would croak not long after and 2) I would never use it. A year later and I was wrong on both counts. It's perfect for mixing chocolate milk, hot chocolate, oil-based vinagrettes, and even powered laxative into drinks (not all at the same time!). I've got two kids and I've used the heck out of this thing and it's whirring away just as strong as ever. Sometimes I make a ramen noodle salad that has dressing with oil, vinegar, and sugar in it and I use this mini frother to mix that up. I think that's about as viscous a mixture that this thing can handle well. It just mixes, no chopping so don't plan on pureeing tomatoes with it. Only gripe I can think of is spices get caught in the spring that's at the business end. (It mixes by whirring a circular spring around at the end.) Not a big deal, just use a toothpick to get spices out if they're stuck. I don't think it can go in the dishwasher, have never felt the need to put it in there. I usually just let it spin under a running faucet for a bit then spin a bit more to dry and that's it. Rarely I'll swirl it in soapy water then rinse under running water. Great little kitchen gadget that I've come to rely on, would certainly buy again.
