I also have a Capresso coffee maker/cappuccino that I have used every day for over 2 years. My capresso products allow me to make specialty coffee drinks every day at a fraction of the cost at a coffee house like Starbucks. I have used this frother every day for the last 7 months. The FrothXpress saves me time because allows me to froth the milk while my coffee/espresso is brewing. I would absolutely recommend this product. It performs great day after day. This is another great product from Capresso.
I am never going to buy anything else that has the word `Capresso' on it. I got this milk frother yesterday. Unfortunately, I threw the box out before I tested the machine. Their frother is a piece of junk. Filled it with water and put milk into the milk reservoir, then plugged it into the wall outlet and turned it on. It got hot but nothing happened when I pressed the frother button.
For now it works as advertised and I couldn't be happier. Perfect stand alone frother. Haven't owned it long enough to determine its stability and durability.
I returned my unit, brought home a second unit and the second one did the exact same thing. Before you accept the negative reviews take it from me, I was the knucklehead. So it worked a day or two and then just died right. It was only then that I figured out what was wrong. Though, in fairness the manufacturer would save everyone some aggravation if they mentioned this "safety" feature. I thought so too but its actually user error and there is no mention of this in the manual. If the metal tube extending down into the cup is not snug up against the top of the unit, the button stops working.
I use 1% milk. I marked the plastic milk holder with a permanent marker for the volume I like to have so I don't have to guess each time I fill it. I wanted to be able to make lattes for our hot tea and since we don't drink coffee I didn't want to buy an espresso machine. The only con is that you have to learn to shut off the steam before you get to the bottom of the milk or you will have milk spatters. Neat machine. The Capresso FrothXpress answered my needs. It is easy to use and creates nice hot milk and froth.
