Philips Baristina Milk Frother - Foam milk perfectly​. Hot and Cold. Dairy and Non-Dairy. Easy to Clean. for Philips Baristina Espresso Machines. Milky White (BAR311/00)

The foam is excellent and unrivaled; the design is brilliant and should promote longevity and durability. This is the best non-steam frother out there. I've tried lots of frothers throughout the years. Non-steaming ones struggle to get well-formed, hot foam. And many of them also break prematurely because the container portion has openings at the bottom which can get clogged or leak and cause malfunction or short circuiting. Literally I've never had another one that has lasted more than 6 months of daily use. Although I've only had this one for a few weeks, it appears that it will last much longer with a better design that protects the electrical and motor components from liquids (I will update this review if that changes). The frothing whisk is oscillated magnetically, so the whole milk basin is isolated from the motor and electrical components unlike any other frother I’ve tried - simple and brilliant. Makes it so much easier to clean too. I had high hopes for this frother after seeing it on display, and so far it has not disappointed. It's elegant and simple. Looks amazing on the counter. Feels solid and well-made. Just one button that can serve two simple functions - hot foam (1 sec press) or cold foam (3 sec press). The foam itself is really solid and well-formed unlike many other non-steaming frothers. A couple of things to note to get the best foam: it finishes very quickly and has to be poured right away to keep the foam. It seems like the bottom layer of foam deforms back into milk quickly because if you wait even just 30 seconds after it has finished, there's a good amount of liquid milk that gets poured out. But if you pour right away after it finishes, it's all foam. The other thing is that if finishes very quickly. Faster than you'd expect. It seems to work faster than any other non-steam frother I've used. Maybe 20-30 seconds? It doesn't burn the milk, either. I haven't tried frothing other liquids, but I'm going to do that next. My only qualms are that there are no operating instructions included - just a paper with lots of warnings. And secondly, it was initially falsely advertised as having a "heating only" function which it seems is not true. I had to find a youtube review to figure out how to do the cold foam function (hold the button for 3 seconds) because there are no instructions included, for some odd reason. And also, it doesn't seem to be able to just heat up the liquids which seems like an oversight. For something so expensive already, I'd expect a simple heating function. It can make hot foam, so it couldn't have been that difficult to engineer another function to do heat-only without froth (like double-tapping the button maybe?). Maybe the next version will incorporate a heat-only function.

I bought the Philips Baristina Milk Frother thinking it would just “froth milk.” That was cute of me. This thing didn’t just froth my milk—it elevated my entire personality. I went from “guy who drinks coffee” to “person who casually uses words like microfoam and mouthfeel” overnight. I now make lattes so good I instinctively judge coffee shops… loudly… in my own kitchen. The foam? Immaculate. Silky. Suspiciously perfect. It’s like this machine has a personal vendetta against mediocre beverages. Hot or cold, it just shows up and performs like it’s auditioning for a barista championship. I made one cappuccino and immediately started considering opening a café called “Me, Myself, and Foam.” My regular coffee now feels like a personal betrayal if I don’t use this thing. 10/10. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a professional barista without the emotional damage of a morning rush, this is your moment

Mighty performance for its size. Great quality and simple to use!

Worked for 3 uses . 3 normal uses . Twice the first day it was received and once the 2nd day, then on the 4th try it didn't froth at all and motor sounded very weak ! So disappointed !

Does what it should !

I ordered white but received a black frother. I suppose I could have exchanged but opted to keep the black unit. There are no directions and at first I was confused as to how to attach the spinning part (it does not attach to the lid like my old one). I discovered it is magnetic and attaches to the bottom. In order for it to work well and get a good foam, you have to fill all the way to the fill line, otherwise you will just have warm milk. I would prefer to have the option of using less milk. I do like the look and sleekness of this frother. I haven't had it very long so I don't have an opinion as to its durability.

Quiet, efficient and easy to clean. Makes a great froth from various milks.

LOVE, love this little milk frother. Saving tons on$$$ by making dirty chai at home and sugar free vanilla lattes

Really good. Heats up the milk in 60-90 seconds

Textural finish to match Baristina espresso machine. Works extremely well, hot or cold, producing a thick and light milk foam. Easy clean and care

La texture du lait est parfaite mais trop chaud. Au mousseur manuel mon lait ne devient pas chaud come ca

excellent frother fast easy operation well made

Absolutely love it . The best purchase ever. The foam is so smooth and nice
