Full details

Designed by Michele De Lucchi, this handheld tool provides an efficient way to create perfectly frothed milk for homemade cappuccinos and lattes with minimal effort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the frother is straightforward; ensure you have the necessary batteries inserted correctly according to the battery compartment indicators. It is compatible with most standard dairy and plant-based milks, though results may vary based on the protein and fat content of the milk. For care, always clean the whisk portion immediately after use by rinsing it under warm water or dipping it in soapy water and spinning it dry. Avoid submerging the main body of the frother in water, as this may damage the internal electronic components. Store in a dry place to prevent moisture accumulation.
