I was given one of these as a present - it broke the first cup. I called and was told to returned it and I did with a nice letter saying it didn't froth even one cup of coffee (about 1/2 maybe) and I was sure it was a factory defect, that I had once worked at a factory and these things sometimes happen. Deafening silence. I called AGAIN -- they would send me another one, never mind the one sent in the mail (I asked if I should return receipt, and was told not necessary so I thought -- well sometimes things happen and you get a bad run. After about six weeks, I called AGAIN and said I had not received it and it had been about six weeks. I was told by a woman with a very sweet voice, almost like a black widow-- not without the broken one we won't!
HUH!? Oh well - then friend called and said -- let's go camping at (a water fall we know).
So, with friend coming I bought another one to match hers. She didn't have one - Hers had broken, so we went camping with mine. It broke after I frothed her cup of coffee and one day old cream. The plastic kept falling off in the bottom of the scalding hot cup of coffee.
When we returned, I called and they said, OK send it in. I got a return receipt and I waited. and waited. Then I called and was told "We have no control over how you use it after it leaves our factory, you must not have followed directions." Then a few days later the return receipt was returned signed. Yep, they got the empty box I packed so carefully and spent so much time talking to them about.
Let me point out that this is product is so complicated that ANY Simian could have used one!!! I wanted to try to train a sloth, but my friend stopped me from calling the Sacramento or San Francisco zoos. I called the service number again, and was told, well, we must have gotten a package, but we don't know what was in it, do we? Me: Stunned stoned silence. Right -- I would spend the price to mail it in a priority box plus return receipt plus all the time on the phone just so I could get a free one! I know that spending over $30 to 'pull a fast one on them' is VERY Cost Effective and a VERY good use of my time (I taught college at the time so spending time in the twilight zone was something I really looked forward to, in fact, without my daily fix, I'd go crazy -- So I kept calling Krups so I would feel wanted and loved, my students always came second).
So I looked around and bought an Aerolatte for about $12-$15 or so. That was, ummm, Two? summers ago. Maybe a bit more. All I've done is recharge the batteries for use when I feel like frothing things. Oh! I DID buy a second set of batteries this last summer!
So steer clear of Krups, they make some things very well, exceptionally well as a matter of fact, this, however is not one of them, the plastic frothing cup on the bottom just doesn't work, and comes off, sometimes at the bottom of your steaming hot cup of coffee, --- EXACTLY what you want to deal with first thing in the morning before your eyes are open and your brain is awake! -- and 'camping' is no more stress on a frothier than any other cup of coffee -- I think they owe me 4 - 3 as replacements -- and a fourth for being so darned rude on the phone -- as if it breaking the first time at my breakfast table was MY fault because I THOUGHT of carrying it in a pack and using it on cold mornings! -- And to think -- I was only insulted for only less than 40 or 50 minutes several times to get no service at all.
I second the opinion that said -- forget it -- buy another one -- only do it before this one breaks and save yourself the humiliation of being called a liar, and the time and trouble of phoning and packing and mailing -- just buy an Aerolatte and be happy from the start -- and it's good for a lot more than just a cup of coffee too!
I am sure it IS a 'perfect froth' if you ever get one that works! STAY AWAY! Buy yourself a plug-in coffee grinder so you always have a spare -- and always keep that spare baggie inside a quart jar in your freezer and change it out on January 1 and July 1 every year to keep it fresh -- just in case your power goes out and you HAVE to have that cup of coffee (a cone and filter work perfectly well, and you can live without froth for a day or two), and remember -- storing the Krups coffee grinder could break it. Which makes it your fault. and thus non-returnable.
Once you learn how they think, you can make your decisions and your life a lot easier. I don't buy Krups anymore -- and guess what? They don't break on me any more either! errrrrraaah!
Well as my title says.... they're ok. If you lost or broke the one that came with the original machine then this one is a good replacement.
This is a great frother. It works very well. My lattes and cappas have been
perfect every time!
Works fine -- was a replacement for one that went down the garbage disposal. But the shipping charges almost equaled the price of the purchase.
It's a quality product from Krups which gives lots of froth! Sometimes too much. If you are not experienced capuchino maker this product is right for you.
Sturdy, durable frother. Must have for espresso machines. I upgraded my coffee mug makshift frother with this frother and feel it was the best purchase I have made for my morning espresso's.
