I am completely loving this milk frother so far. It was a gift for my husband and I was a bit wary when I found this frother at Bed Bath and Beyond... (mine is black instead of white) I hadn't heard of the brand and almost returned it for one on amazon with more reviews... however, for the week we've had it, its been wonderful. You just pour in milk or half and half... I guess whatever you want and it immediately froths... its thick and creamy and actually stays that way for awhile so you can enjoy it with multiple cups of coffee... You can't throw it in the dishwasher, and I was a bit worried about that at first, but its really easy to clean by filling it with water, rinsing it and filling it again then pressing the button... The booklet even recommends using a drop of soap, but I haven't done that.Best Deals on CBTL LM-145P Milk Frother
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The only fault I can find with this product is that it does not make cold froth for summertime coffee drinks. Therefore the 4 star rating... I would give it 5 if it frothed cold milk too. It only warms milk, or makes warm froth for hot coffee drinks, but it does that very well. You have a choice of making a small amount or more, in nothing flat! It even turns itself off when ready. I just tried it with my own brewed coffee making it stronger than usual as I did not have the expresso or any of the pre-mixed packets that CBTL sells. I need sugar-free so I added some flavoring, cinnamon and sweetener and was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted :D I am the only one in this household who likes frothed/sugar free so this will be perfect for me or any of my visiting guests who like the "skinny lattes."It couldn't be easier to use, fast clean-up, just rinse the inside & dry. I find myself warning "helpers" not to immerse the product in dishwater that is a pain but it stores nicely and is very sturdy and heavy, not flimsy. Mine arrived in white, not black, as labeled on the packing slip, which would've matched my other appliances, but performance wise, I can't complain. My CBTL milk frother was provided by Amazon's Vine Program for my online unbiased review of this new product.
This would make a great gift for a single person or even the elderly, it is that easy to use :)
Honest reviews on CBTL LM-145P Milk Frother
This frother is great! I like foamed milk with my coffee drinks and a dollop of whipped cream on top. It's as easy as pouring the milk up to the line inside the frother, twisting the cap on (it only locks one way), plugging it in and pushing the button. 90 seconds later it shuts itself off and you have perfect foamy, warm milk. My skim milk scorched a little on the bottom of the frother but the non-stick lining is VERY non-stick and I wiped it right out with a wet paper towel.(I have this in the black version, same model).

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The CBTL is solidly constructed, heavyish, and creates good quality warm, frothy milk (or just plain warm milk.) However, even though it warms and froths milk well, I cannot give it 5 stars (or even 4). For starters, it cannot produce cold frothed milk. Secondly, the unit produces a relatively paltry 4 ounces of frothed milk. Thirdly, the lid is overly complex because it contains the motor and the frother is physically attached to it. There is no submersing the lid to clean it. In fact, one should be very careful cleaning lid so as not ruin it with soapy water. Fourth, the pitcher and base are one unit. Again, with electronics in the base, it is difficult to adequately clean the pitcher. It is easy for water to inadvertently go where it should not go when cleaning the base. Fifth, the unit has to cool down between frothings. So much for frothing two batches of milk back to back. The limited capacity of the pitcher means one can produce frothed milk for one or two cups of coffee or whatever.I have used many frothers from the plunger style manual frothers by Bodum to the Aerolatte to this CBTL. The CBTL is most similar to the Keurig frother I used to own. Actually, I owned two of the Keurigs. Both of them simply stopped working. The Keurig and CBTL both share the similar flawed design of a one piece pitcher/heater and a lid with a frothing motor and frother attached.
There is one one frother, though, which stands far above the others. It is the:B003LXY2HA Capresso frothPRO]]. The Capresso pitcher is free of electric parts, the lid has no motor, it has a large capacity, can produce both warm and cold frothed milk, is incredibly easy to clean, and is priced well.
So: the CBTL is a very nice unit. But as long as the Capresso is available, it would be difficult to make the CBTL one's first choice.
And one more thing, the description says the CBTL is made in Italy. My unit is clearly marked "made in China".
