Q: The milk does not get to 150 degrees Fahrenheit!! It only gets to about 110 degrees Fahrenheit. I don't know if there's something wrong with mine, but how to I make it get hotter?
submitted by Annie - 1 year ago
A: Mine also does not get very hot! Disappointing!
submitted byJamie - 3 months agoA: The frother heats the milk for about one minute until it is approximately 158 degrees Fahrenheit. If you feel that there are any issues with your product please contact Bodum support at support@bodum.com for further assistance.

Q: Does anyone else's milk spill out? It seems like I'm the only one. How does everyone keep their milk from spilling over? Thanks!
submitted by A Girl - 6 years ago
A: I know it depends on the type of milk used, how full you fill it, and if you use the whisk attachment or not. I have had another milk frother spill over due to using the wire whisk and filling it up to the max line (meant for without wire whisk).
submitted byA Boy - 6 years agoA: I have found that DHA milk foamer more than regular milk. If you're using DHA milk, try a quart of regular not-dha and see if that fixes you. And clearly, stay below the max fill line, as I'm sure you are. Hope this helps!

Q: Does it foam alternative milks well?
submitted by LizFiz123 - 6 years ago
A: I managed to use silk milk's almond milk vanilla flavor, fine in it.
submitted byHowdy - 6 years agoA: You can use coffee creamers like Coffee Mate as well as milk, 1/2 & 1/2, heavy cream, whatever you like. I have used all of the above and they all turn out well.

Q: How much liquid does this hold?
submitted by targetshopper - 6 years ago
A: Min: 75ml Max Froth line: 190ml Max heating line: 300 ml
submitted byHowdy - 6 years agoA: About 0.8 cups if you're frothing.

Q: Can I use half 'n half in the milk frother. I like the richer taste of half 'n half. Thanks.
submitted by Marg - 6 years ago
A: I have not tried it with half 'n half. I prefer nonfat milk because it foams up more. However, I see no reason why it wouldn't work with half 'n half. I tried almond milk. It worked fine, but it did not make as much foam.
submitted byrungram - 6 years agoA: You can use half and half, and it's delicious!

Q: will it work for a Macha latte?
submitted by Vicki - 3 months ago
A: Thank you for your question! The BISTRO Electric Milk Frother is perfect for creating frothed milk to add to already whisked matcha for a delicious matcha latte. However, we do not recommend adding matcha powder or any other ingredients directly into the frother. Doing so could clog the whisk, affect performance, and potentially scorch onto the interior, making it difficult to clean. Hope this helps!

Q: What is the nonstick material? Is it free of PFAS, PFOS, and PFTE?
submitted by Hillstone - 4 months ago
A: Thank you for your question! The BISTRO Electric Milk Frother features an ILAFON food-safe, non-stick coating that is free of PFOAs and PTFEs. Hope this helps!

Q: Can I make hot cocoa by mixing cold milk and cocoa mix powder?
submitted by TeamBaker - 6 months ago
A: We don’t recommend preparing hot cocoa mix in the frother itself. This could clog the whisk and impact the device’s performance, and could make the frother more difficult to clean. Instead, heat cold milk in the frother first, and then add the mix and hot milk together in a mug.
submitted byBodum - 6 months agoBrand expert
Q: Does this froth almond or soy milk?
submitted by Sadie - 8 months ago
A: Yes, the BISTRO Milk Frother can be used with any type of milk or milk substitute. For the best results with almond or soy milk, we recommend using full-fat or barista-style options.
submitted byBodum - 8 months agoBrand expert
Q: Can you make cold foam with this frother?
submitted by Jembsmom - 8 months ago
A: The BISTRO Milk Frother is designed specifically for creating hot froth and is not intended for cold froth.

Doesnt heat up milk enough or froth enough
1 reply from Bodum team - 5 days ago
We’re sorry to hear that you’re not completely satisfied with your BISTRO Electric Milk Frother. The BISTRO is designed to heat milk or milk alternatives to 158°F, the ideal temperature for hot beverages. For frothing, please ensure the whisk is properly attached, and for both heating and frothing, take care not to overfill the frother, as this can reduce its effectiveness - note that there may be different MAX fill lines for each function. We encourage experimenting with different types and volumes of milk to find your preferred froth consistency. If you’d like to share your feedback directly, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Thank you for your review!

It was missing the disk. I used it with just the wisk and it overheated and turned off within 1 minute of the first use. So either it’s just bad bad or target sold me a previously returned one.

We’re sorry to hear that your BISTRO Electric Milk Frother arrived missing a piece. We recommend contacting Target Customer Service directly for assistance with a replacement. We’d also like to know more about your experience - specifically which part was missing and how that may have contributed to the overheating. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at support@bodum.com with more details. Note that this frother features a built-in temperature shut-off, which activates when the device reaches the optimal temperature of 158°F, typically within a minute. Please also note that we do not recommend operating any electrical appliance without all of its components in place and in proper condition. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

I loved this when I first got it. Used it at most 3 times a week and it stopped working after about 10 months and then just completely stopped doing anything. I have tired everything and cant seem to get it to work again. Customer service did nothing. I wouldnt waste your money on a Bodum, try something else.

We’re sorry to hear that you’re not completely satisfied with your BISTRO Electric Milk Frother. This device is designed to heat and froth milk to an optimal 158°F, ensuring the perfect temperature for drinkability while preventing scorching. To achieve the best results, please avoid overfilling the container, as too much milk can affect the frother's performance.

Meh on the function - ok frothing and heating. Terrible to clean. Always milk in the bottom, whether I soak or rinse or whatever. So annoying. Difficult even to get out with a soft brush. Not a good design.
1 reply from Bodum team - 4 months ago
We’re sorry to hear that you’re not completely satisfied with your BISTRO Milk Frother. While the interior is non-stick coated, and the device has a boil-dry protection function, it is still possible for milk and foam residue to become cooked on if the device reheats repeatedly. The frother has an automatic reheating function that will reheat any remaining milk if the temperature drops below 120°F. If a small amount of milk or foam is left in the frother after its first use, and the frother is left on, the remainder under the MIN line can get cooked on and become hard to remove. To avoid this, we recommend always turning the device off after use. Additionally, ensure the device is always filled past the MIN line and rinse it out immediately after use to prevent milk and foam from drying onto the interior. We hope this helps improve your experience, but if the issues persist, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Thank you for your review!

Stopped frothing milk each time after a few months. More often the milk was warmed but not frothed.
1 reply from Bodum team - 5 months ago
We’re sorry to hear about the trouble with your Electric Milk Frother. For optimal performance, ensure the frothing whisk is thoroughly cleaned after each use, as any buildup can impact its effectiveness. Additionally, overfilling the container can reduce froth quality, so be sure to fill only up to the max line. We also recommend experimenting with different types of milk, as each produces a unique froth consistency, allowing you to find the one that suits your preference. If issues persist or you’d like to share more details about your experience, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Thank you for your review!

Didn’t froth all types of milk, 2% seemed to froth the best. Milk was very warm but never hot (wanted hot milk) and worst of all, it stopped working after 4 months. Maybe I got a dud but not worth it in general. Back to the Nespresso Aerocchino…spendy but worth it.
1 reply from Bodum team - 6 months ago
We’re sorry to hear that your Electric Milk Frother didn’t meet your expectations. When not overfilled, it should effectively froth all types of milk, though we recommend using cold, low-fat milk for the best results. Be sure the whisk is securely attached and cleaned after each use, as buildup can impact performance. The frother is designed to heat milk to 158°F, the ideal temperature for hot beverages, while preventing scalding. If you’d like to share more details about how the device stopped working, please contact our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Thank you for your review!

Habitdashery - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
I’ve used this twice daily for a year, and it is still going strong. Works great for non-dairy milk as well as regular milk. You can use the frother multiple times in a row, just wait a few minutes for the machine to cool down. Took off 1 star as I noticed inconsistency in dairy milk frothing, sometimes making more foam and sometimes less. Non-dairy frothing is very consistent. Overall a great budget friendly frother!

We're sorry to hear your experience with our Electric Milk Frother has been less than satisfactory. The whisk attachment is designed to begin spinning once the milk starts heating, provided it's securely attached to the spindle at the bottom of the frother and the milk levels are within the MIN and MAX lines. If the problem persists, please contact our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Providing further details will help us assist you better and investigate the problem. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
