Can't live without it

published

I've had mine for 2 years now, it was purchased as a birthday present.
So easy to use and fabulous having the different heats for milk.
I use soy and almond milk and it froths beautifully on the latte nozzle.
Regular cows milk always froths more nicely though as it has more cream.
It's quiet, super easy to clean, and outdoes every nespresso frother on the market, they are hopeless.

Looks like I am another one in the long list of unhappy buyers of this item

published

Hello,

I just bought this item online from Myer and received it a few days ago. It does not work, has not worked once whatever I do; after a few seconds, I hear three bips and the machine stops, stubbornly refusing to start again.

I had not read reviews prior to purchasing the machine. I wish I had read the ones here since clearly the design of this machine is defective. Given ieatwords reviews, Breville must be aware of this issue yet still has the frother in the market.



I'll return the item with no hesitation.

Best thing ever

published

This can do up to 4 cups of hot frothed milk no worries. Best thing I ever bought. Makes beautiful silky froth that makes coffee at home a daily luxury. Purchased when it was recommended to me by a friend. Hard to find but well worth the search to get it.

Excellent

published

I bought this to use with my Aldi Expressi Coffee Machine and it is fantastic.

It froths the milk amazingly. I only use the latte frother as the cappuccino frother make a ridiculous amount of froth. Heats the milk perfectly, you can select the temp. you would like so if you like a hotter coffee/hot chocolate simply turn the dial up. The dial does have an indicator range for the suggested temp. to use.

It's simple, easy to use and super easy to clean! It is a little noisy but I can live with that for a minute or two. You can also heat milk for more than one drink as the stainless steel jug holds a large quantity of liquid.

Great milk frother

published

Have been using this Café Milk Frother since July 2017 to make cappuccino and hot chocolate drinks. Froths really well, heats well, easy to set up, looks good, compact on bench top, cleans easily in dishwasher.
Better than other milk frothers of a similar type i use at work. Really can't fault it.

Doesn't froth now as it used to??

published

Loved my frother from day 1, made the perfect silky latte. Also on day 2, 3 no 4. Then it suddenly decided not to do the job. I started with using UHT skim milk then once all used changed to Dairy Farmers Lite. Maybe that's the problem. Will change to some other milk no let u know how it goes.

Really Great

published

We have had our Breville Milk frother for nearly four years. We have coffee every afternoon my husband and I and if visitors or family come to visit then we make more. My milk is Zymil as I am Lactose intolerant and it appears to make more froth but full cream milk also froths well

Best in the market

published

Best frother in town. I was previously using a nespresso milk frother and it was horrible. The milk constantly spilt so I decided to purchase the breville Milk Cafe. The breville has 500ml capacity, double the size of any other frother on the market. The milk is frothed with tiny perfect bubbles. The two frothing attachment and temperature control adds extra versatility to this perfect machine.

Don’t use unhomogenised milk

published

I bought the BMF600 and became very disappointed because it heated well, but almost made no froth, even with the Capuccino disc. I normally use unhomogenised milk, but I began to wonder if this might be the problem as there was such a diversity of reviews.
So I tried full cream homogenised milk, and PRESTO! - lovely froth with both discs as advertised! A great product with the right milk.

Great time saver

published

Great time saver if you are coming from a steam jet on your coffee machine. One issue is it seems to make the froth ontop of the milk. Give it one or two shakes of the jug once its done (it can spill a little) and it comes out perfectly creamy.

Does the job its supposed to...

published

As this is on the pricier side i cannot say its worth paying the extra. I generally use it at the 200ml min milk level only. The optimum temperature range it has would not be hot enough for me as i have it set at the highest temp range since day one and it seems to suit me fine. Which makes me wonder whether it is heating properly now. What i love is......its dishwasher safe and only a few components which means easy to keep clean.
That 200ml takes up to 3mins to heat and froth.....I used to microwave my milk and pour it from above my head to get the froth....just didnt have the same look through my double walled glass cups as it does now.

Troubleshoot Frothing problem

published

Up to now good froth using various types of premium low & full cream milks. But now can only get a miserable layer of bubbles even when using cappuccino disk. Saw comments on Zimyl milk (haven't tried it) but don't understand why our prior success with all brands milk. Yes, I'm getting the click when inserting disk. Rated at 4 but at the moment I would give it a generous 2.

Beware the three beeps

published

Seems that lots of other people have experienced the same problem that I have with this product. Only a few months old and after a few seconds of operation it emits three beeps and stops. After further research it appears that the three beeps indicates a build up of condensation when putting cold fluids into the jug. The sensor is extremely sensitive and the condensation may not be visible. Wipe the moisture off the outside of the jug and try again. Usually you will have to turn the product off, wipe the condensation off the jug and inside the induction heater, wait a while and try again. It will usually work, fingers crossed!

I finally gave up on this product as it became largely useless as very sensitive to the slightest condensation, especially in warm or humid weather. Great when it works but just too sensitive and unreliable

Great so far

published

I've had this milk frother for close to 12 months now. It's been great! The thing I like most is that you can froth enough milk for up to 5 lattes or you can do just one.
Easy to clean.
I don't use the variable-temperature option very much but it is handy at times.

Terrible product

published

We spent a mini fortune on purchasing this machine. When it works yes it makes very good milk but the 3 beep problem that I am now aware is a design fault is hugely annoying and breville should have recalled this along time ago. Its a product fault with the sensor, soon after we purchased it started happening. It doesn't like you putting cold milk in the jug so it starts up and then just stops. Surely you shouldn't have to heat up the milk before putting it into the jug.....very frustrating and we took it back as we thought it was a once off. Second machine....exactly the same. Lost my faith in Breville....its a common fault and they shouldnt sell it if they are aware of this inherent problem.

Can you use it WITHOUT the frothing discs to just heat milk?

No, you need to use one of the discs. If you don't want frothy milk, the Latte disc would be the one to use. There is no heavy froth when using that one. I use it to heat milk for my cereal ... using the latte disc.

My milk frother does not turn on again. I have checked different power outlets around the house. and apparently the power is not the problem but the machine itself. This is been happening randomly. I would appreciate if you could help me. Thanks

Hi Maria, I sympathise. We are on our third Breville BMF600 frother. The first two refused to work after a year or so;, responding with 3 beeps when powered on. One possible explanation is the internal safety cutout being too sensitive, thinking it's got moisture inside. Not heard from Breville though. They seem to ignore product design faults and concentrate more on packaging.

I love this machine & highly recommend it, have never had any problems. With your issue, I'd contact Breville - give them the chance to remedy the situation before you blast their product. If they respond appropriately, that's good. They said in the past "Please give us the opportunity to correct the situation by contacting our dedicated customer care team at 1300 139 798 (M-F, 8am-5pm) or at [email protected]
PS. When not being used, I turn it off at the power, that might be an advantage.
