Ikea Silicone Rubber Milk Frother, Black – Pack of 3

 Stopped working on 20 th January 2022. Bought it on March 2021. Worked for only 10 months. It is a cheap made in China product and not at all like original Ikea products. There is an Ikea symbol embossed on the product along with made in china .

It is an original ikea product. The frother is amazing quality. Plus you get 3

Let’s just address the elephant in the room. I bought this at £3.50 but its value is at £1 from Ikea. Not a chance in this world I can get to an Ikea shop for £2.50 (I live 1 hour away from the nearest Ikea store) and there’s a not chance I could have this item delivered from Ikea for £2.50. For starters, they don’t even offer this item to purchase online. So while £3.50 seems at first a bit steep to pay for a £1 item, the markup seems completely reasonable, and I am grateful for sellers to go through the trouble to buy those for people like me.

Item itself is very nifty, powerful, fast as a bullet and will produce the thickest foam in a flash. I like to warm my milk first, then add a capful of sugar vanilla syrup. Then I choose a narrow tall glass to do the foam. You will need room for the wave of foam that this little gadget will create. I broke my first milk frother because I was trying to flim the action and froth some milk at the same time. Tut Tut. The froth maker kept on going and it broke the long stick thing. Lesson learned 🙂 Do not froth and film at the same time 😀

I did not even know such a device existed. It has made coffee-making so enjoyable. The froth makes a home coffee look like one that is purchased at a speciality store!

This product is excellent when it works. It produces a thick foam very easily (dairy, oat and peanut milk). I would have rated it a 5 star except that it arrived on 8 March and is now broken (28 March). I used it every day once or twice.

The metal shaft came off (see picture) from day 2 of purchase. It was easy to push back in and continued to work, though it did come off every day. Unfortunately, on day 20 of purchase, the metal shaft would not stay in place for long enough to complete frothing a cup of milk. As no returns are permitted, it is going in the bin along with the money paid.
