Bodum 1446 Latteo Milk Frother
by bringingsexyback WHAT IS IT A cafetiere style product for frothing milk for your cappuccino. HOW DO YOU USE IT? Pour milk into the jug up to the thick black line that is printed about an inch and a half from the bottom of the jug. You can use cold milk or warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds first. Then take ... hold of the large handle on the lid and pump it up and down until your milk starts frothing. The idea is to get a good strong rhythm going and make sure you keep the frother towards the bottom of the jug because you'll lose the frothing effects if you let it come out of the milk or too far up into the froth. It takes about a minute and a half to froth the milk up for your coffee and sometimes longer so make sure you do it while your coffee is brewing to make sure it's ready on time. WHAT I THINK I have had this Latteo for three years and it has been a good buy because I enjoy coffee and cappuccino through the day. The jug is made of very thin glass so I used to be scared to use the pump action but after a few times I realised that wasn't going to break the jug and only banging it would damage it. If you put plenty of effort into it you can get a thick and creamy froth for your coffee. I use cold milk and microwave it after frothing and before I put it in my coffee, that makes it taste and feel a lot more luxurious and means it will support a sprinkle of cinnamon or chocolate without collapsing. It's easy to clean but the froth can leave a greasy mark on the jug so it's best to use hot water and washing up liquid, I leave mine to soak and then just wipe the inside and outside of the jug with a soft cloth and leave it to dry on the draining board. I like the lid because it fits tight to stop the froth coming out of the top, I use a big spoon to put the froth on top of my coffee but you can pour it from the spout if you don't have yours so thick. This is a good product if like me you enjoy a cup of good coffee. It makes a frothy coffee to rival any you can buy from a coffee shop and is good arm exercise too because when the milk starts to froth up it can be hard work to keep going. It looks nice on display with the rest of my coffee memorabilia because it looks just like a mini cafetiere and is quite cute. 4 Dooyoo Stars. Read the complete review |

Bodum C-Mill Electric Coffee Blade Grinder
by Whizz11 The noise of a coffee grinder is almost as great as the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning. It's a sound that makes you think ahhh, I have some nice coffee coming my way soon, especially if someone else is making the coffee for you! If you've read some of my other reviews you will know that I like posh coffee and one of the ... ways I make my coffee is with a Cafetiere. I like to use my own beans that I have grinded and in order to grind my beans I have a Bodum C-MIll grinder. This is an electric grinder that grinds the beans so fast you would think you hadn't really done anything. It's a very simple tool to use. Basically you put a handful of beans in the grinder or the amount that you want for your cup of coffee. I am the only one that drinks coffee in my house so I know exactly how much I need for just me for my optimum tasting cup of coffee. The you pop the lid back on, press the on button which send the blades whirling with that lovely familiar coffee grinding noise and in about 30 seconds it is done. It is amazing how fast it is considering how hard coffee beans are. This works so well because it has stainless steel arm blades which are very sharp. The lid on this grinder is see through so if you do have any stray beans that have got missed for some reason you can have a look and give the grinder a quick shake in one direction then the other to move the beans and make sure it gets caught up in the blades. To be honest though this doesn't happen very often. The grinder is small so will not do vast quantities of beans but then I am only using this for personal use and not needing to grind big bags as once so the size is perfect for me. NOw, you can leave this on your worktop as it has a cord lead that goes back into the machine itself which is a good benefit but as I don't ahve that much space I just store mine and get it out when I need it but the option is there which is nice. This actually means it stores better in the cupboard which is nice. When it comes to cleaning I have to admit that I do not clean it every time I use it. I don't mind some old coffee granuals in the bottom of this as I am just adding more later but when I switch flavours I do rinse it out and it comes clean well. I have mine in a black colour but you can buy it in silver too. I got it in John Lewis and I think it was about £30. Read the complete review |

Bodum 1446 Latteo Milk Frother
by jillycat This Bodum milk frother has been part of my kitchen gadgets for many years and is still working as well today as when I first bought it. This works on a simple principle really that you fill the beaker with milk plunge it up and down and it will create lovely frothy foam for your coffees and hot chocolates. To ... achieve this you fill the jug with milk to the black line on the jug and then add air to the milk with the plunger by frantically plunging it up and down. If you want the milk to be hot and frothy you microwave the milk in the jug for about one and a half minutes, then put the lid on and pump up and down for a about 30-60 seconds then allow the milk to rest for about 1 minute. The froth will thicken significantly during this time so it is then ready to spoon and pour in to your drinks The plastic lid has a deep rim to prevent foam from escaping through the spout. What you do need to do is make sure that the spout is covered as there is a gap in the deep rim for when you are pouring the milk out and if it isn't covered you will like I have on occasions cover yourself and the surrounding surfaces with hot milk. The plunger handle has a comfortable grip which is what you do need when you are plunging it up and down frantically for about 30 seconds to a minute. The jug is made from glass and as such is can be broken or chipped but mine has survived so far. You can actually buy replacement jugs from Bodum without the plunger and mesh but the price they charge from them £10 so it is actually probably cheaper to buy a new one. The jug is both dishwasher and microwave safe and I have never had any problems with cracking or breaking in my use of this in them. It is also fairly easy to clean by hand too. The black line and markings on the jug are also coping well and do not seem to have faded off in anyway meaning it is still nice and easy to see the fill line on the jug. The mesh is the hardest bit to clean by hand due to the foamy milk build up that it gets but I find the easiest way to clean it is run water from the tap gently over it. The mesh has over the years of use still remained in place with no damage at all which I find very pleasing as I thought I may have had to replace the mesh bit by now as it looks fragile but seems to be surprisingly strong. You can buy replacement meshes as well so if yours does go it will cost you around £5 to replace it which is not a bad price to keep your jug having a longer life. The hot frothy milk that the plunge produces is nice and thick especially I find if you warm the milk up and then once frothed leave it to stand. I do notice that the foam that spoon on to the top seems to last till I have drunk my coffees or hot chocolates and there is a nice coating of frothy left on the sides of the cup. The jug is also nice and handy for you to be able to pour some of the hot milky liquid into your cup when you are making a latte which is nice treat at home. Bodum recommend that you use semi skimmed milk for this frother but I have equally pleasing results with full fat milk too. Overall I would definitely recommend these jugs for fans of creamy frothy milk on top of their chocolates and coffees as it produces nice soft foam that last well and the milk frother is so simple and easy to use. It currently retails at around £12 form Amazon and is well worth its money. Read the complete review |
