This is a great product if you like frothy coffee. I recently picked mine up in my local charity shop, unused and still in its box for the bargain price of £1.50, they currently retail on Amazon for £16.50 (November 2012).

The Latteo is made from borosilicate glass, is dishwasher safe and has a nylon filter. The glass jug is approximately 10cm in height and 5cm in width, and it has a plastic plunger lid that is easy to use and grip when frothing your milk. I looked on the Bodum website and you can purchase the jug and filter separately if you smash the jug or the filter needs changing. The jug holds 0.25 litres.

To use the Latteo is pretty simple and the instructions on the jug tell your how to get started but basically you add some cold milk to the jug up to the frother line indicated on the jug, put the lid on, put the jug on the counter top and beat the milk until its starts to froth up, this will take about a minute to achieve, the milk then changes in consistency to be thicker and lighter, like foam. You then leave the milk to rest for a minute or so, take off the lid and put the jug into a microwave and heat for a few seconds, around 20-30 depending on how hot you want it. When the microwaves pings you remove and pour or spoon (for a better effect) onto your freshly brewed coffee.

Overall this is a fab product, it is easy to clean, looks good, actually really does froth up your milk, and although you need to put in a bit of effort it is well worth it, I would have been happy to pay full price for this item. Defiantly recommend to those of you who love a frothy coffee.
