Maestri House Milk Frother with Variable Temperature and Foam Strength (Black)

I never thought I'd be that bothered about having frothed milk, but this gadget has me absolutely obsessed. Pros: - Solid Construction and durable materials - Easy Controls to understand and use - Easy to clean - Thick foam on max foam setting - Hot milk setting makes a brilliant latte or hot chocolate - Makes the perfect amount of hot milk for two on the max fill line. Cons: - None that I can find I wish I had bought this sooner. Both me and my partner are using it multiple times a day now.

Excellent appliance, does perfectly what it promises with no fuss. This is the third milk frother I have tried and is by far and away the best. It operates almost silently creating beautiful foamy milk at the right temperature. Easy to clean, this appliance has it all.

This is excellent. My husband uses it for his hot chocolate. It heats up well and has a choice of amount of froth. It's easy to clean and nice and compact on the kitchen surface.

I like the look of this machine and overall it is a nice design. It's very easy to use and clean and appears to be of a good quality build. It's extremely quiet when operating which is nice. But I do have a couple of quibbles. The machine remembers which temperature I set it at but always defaults to a medium froth which is annoying as to put it to the low setting you have to press the button 3 or 4 times. Now I don't like my milk too frothy, and even on the low froth settings you literally cannot drink it. When it is finished heating the milk the result is a little bit of hot milk and tonnes of froth. But I have a feeling a lot of these machines are like this, which is why I am sticking with it.

This is my third milk frother in six months, and should have gone for this first (but wanted to save money so went cheap!!) This one froths well, and also goes up to 70deg temperature (the others all do 65), and that extra 5deg really does make a difference (personally, another 5-10 would have been great, but this is the best I can get). Its quiet (compared to another I bought. Its dishwasher safe (not the base, obviously!) this means I can clean it well. A previous one I had burnt the hot chocolate to the base and couldn’t be removed. This one does hot chocolate very well (put the hot chocolate whisk cover on, and leave a minute or so for the milk to start to heat before adding the hot chocolate powder for best results). I love that I can choose the foam and heat at the same time. So if I want a full foam at 70, or a full foam at 50deg, I can! None of that preset nonsense. And the density of the foam is better. And lastly, its a larger capacity than others. So although it’s still one latte at a time, I can make two hot chocolates. Its not the cheapest out there (i paid 69.99 in Oct 2025), but I think that it is worth it.

If it becomes necessary (for example, the product breaks) I will update this review. I've used this milk frother only once at the time of this review and while I have given the product five stars I do have to very minor gripes. First, I had real trouble getting the lid off. There is a lip, which is fine if you've just heated up milk, but I suspect would not be handy if you'd frothed the milk. Second, I feel that the instructions for making things like hot chocolate could be better. I did notice a small, light brown spot on the heating element after use, but although I checked throughly before inserting the jug maybe there was some liquid or dirt inside. Otherwise, than that, I'm impressed. The noise level is quiet, the hot chocolate was made beautifully, the drink was hot (but drinkable from the get go) and there was zero residue left on the jug/whisk that didn't just rinse off immediately. I did select a medium froth for the hot chocolate but there wasn't much froth at all - that said, it wasn't just milk in the jug and it was only semi-skimmed. I like that the lid is see-through too. Compared to the velvetiser it doesn't feel as high quality and the hot chocolate is not as silky. However, due to the problems I experienced with the velvetiser (2.0 not original), and how much easier to clean the Maestri is, plus the fact it has frothing options on top of that? I think the Maestri is better.

It’s only day two of using this but so far I love it. Having always bought a well know brand of milk frother I got fed up of them always burning on the bottom so decided to try this instead. It is easy to use, doesn’t take up any more space than my old one and has the added benefit of heating up enough milk (when not frothing) to fill 2 very big mugs of coffee in one go. So far it hasn’t got any burnt patches (my old ones did that even when brand new) and it is really easy to clean - the jug can also go in the dishwasher but to be honest a quick wash with warm soapy water and it’s as good as new. Not the cheapest but still cost less than my previous frothers so as long as it lasts it’s a definite win.

Very good quality, easy to use, good display easy to clean, frothiness, no noise
