Whip up an easy after-dinner cappuccino for guests with this steam-free frother with stand from Aerolatte. The frother foams skim, whole, and soy milk alike for fluffy hot café lattes or cold chocolate malts in seconds. (Frothing water-based powdered milk is not recommended.) The frother features a sleek chrome body with a slender 18/8 stainless-steel whisk, designed for optimum foaming efficiency, and is compact for easy travel. Two installed AA batteries power the whisk as it froths milk up to 60 degrees C. For best results, turn on the frother with whisk placed near the base of the mug and slowly raise and lower the unit as foam develops. Foam forms in only 15 to 20 seconds. To avoid splatters, turn the frother off before removing from the beverage. The included chrome stand holds the frother secure while protecting the whisk wand with a sturdy, circular base and two sets of arms that fit snug around the frother body.
To clean the frother, run the whisk in hot soapy water and rinse. Wipe the body with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the frother in water or place in the dishwasher. Aerolatte offers a five-year guarantee against defective parts or craftsmanship for this product. The frother measures 8-3/4 inches long, and weighs 1 pound upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Coffee Pot Companion: Quick, Easy and Cheap Lattes!
What a great investment! I purchased this on Amazon for the bargain price of $11, and it's more than paid for itself in chain-store savings. Thanks to the Aerolatte, I now make my own lattes -- without having to purchase any expensive, bulky new equipment (e.g., an espresso maker)!
I have a coffeemaker with built-in grinder, so I brew myself a very strong cup of coffee (about 1/2 of what I'd expect to drink). I then heat milk (the other 1/2) in the microwave, and once it's done, I begin frothing with the Aerolatte. After frothing for about 30 seconds, slightly longer than they suggest, I add the strong coffee. With just a drop of brown sugar, yum, it's perfect! (I use skim milk, but I'm sure it'd be even more delicious with 2% or whole!)
The stand is very handy and ensures that the gadget is readily available. My Aerolatte sits on my kitchen counter, right next to the coffee pot -- it hardly takes up space, but it sure makes my mornings a lot more tasty!

Works Great
I had another brand that took four batteries and the mixing part was not a wire whisk but a crimped disk. This one gets higher RPM's and does a better job with 2 AA batteries.
My product, ordered here, seemed to have been opened before and had fingerprints on it but works fine.
I do NOT like the power button/switch. I wish it were a push-in rather than a slide and/or would rather have it towards the top where my thumb is when I use it.
Other than that I am very happy so far. Really froths great and really moves the liquid so you will need lots of room left in your cup or a high cup otherwise the liquid will splash out and make a mess.
This unit has a nice heavy feel. The hanger is nice as well. If It lasts for a while I will be very happy.
