5.0 out of 5 stars Best value for the money - Awesome coffee, May 15, 2008
By 
Joe Corbett (Minneapolis,MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nespresso C100-US-AERO Essenza Automatic Single-Serve Espresso Machine with Nespresso Aeroccino Milk Frother, Titanium (Kitchen)
I was initially reluctant to buy this based on the fact that they use proprietary pods. Had that reluctance stuck with me, I probably would've spent a few hundred more on a high-quality manual espresso machine, or over a thousand on an automatic machine. $.52 a cup is reasonable when you consider that grinding your own works out to about $.30 a cup, but yields a greater mess and requires more soap and water for cleanup each time. With two little kids at home - who has time to clean? I was absolutely giddy the first time I used both the machine and the frother. Separately and together, both machines match or rival what all too many of us pay $3-5 for from the local coffee shop. I'm convinced that our friends will like us more if we decide to share some of this with them. I bought this at Williams-Sonoma based on loyalty as I had sampled it 3 times over a two week period and finally couldn't take it anymore. I had to have one! Consumer reports also ranks this machine highest in its... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent taste and easy to make and clean-up - worth the cost!, December 30, 2009
By 
Isis (Maryland) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
After a lot of research and knowing how tasty the Nespresso espressos are (free sample at a store a year ago that I fondly remembered), I bought the Nespresso C100 on Amazon in September 2009 for an anniversary present to ourselves. In four months, we have made about 180 cups of cappuccino or espresso for my husband and I and an occasional guest. We make about 2-3 cups during the weekday and more on the weekends.

- Very fast and easy to make, with no mess. Fill up the water dispenser, turn the machine on, pop a colored pod in the maker and close lever. Wait for buttons to stop blinking to show it is heated, then push the button. Enjoy the smell! Very easy to clean - run water through by pressing the button and dump out/wash the tray where the overflow grill is and the basket that catches the many pods.

- Aeroccino froth maker is soooo much easier than trying to use the steam nozzles that most cappuccino maker's have (no splattering and nice, consistent... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Use them every.single.day... sometimes twice., October 14, 2008
By 
Seattle N (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
I never thought I would go for this machine, I am a little purist and cranky about my morning cup of wonderful - however, I indulged the Nespresso rep at a local Sur La Table - and, wow.

This little combo worked better than The Cube in my opinion, and I love that frother!

Yes, you need the little capsules, but the darker roasts and the "Special Club" are pretty good, and I have many more to try. it helped that the rep tossed in like 5 extra packs of them for me. I found them online here at Amazon for about $6 a sleeve and with my Prime membership it was free shipping. And the rep told me next time I see her she will let me "try" a couple other flavors as well - bonus.

I have made chocolate milks, coffee blends with liqueurs for desserts, decaf cap's at night as well as my new fancy morning beverages.

I have had it for a month and adore it. Sure, a little pricey, but I think I have saved about $57 already in morning coffee shop... Read more

Rating: 4.3

List Price : $13.16 Price : $9.50
Rattleware 12-Ounce Latte Art Milk Frothing Pitcher

Product Description

This 12 ounce straight sided steaming pitcher is made from 18/10 high quality stainless steel. Ideally milk for espresso should be steamed as needed on a per drink basis. This espresso milk steaming pitcher would be a recommended size for the home or office, or kept on hand to make smaller drinks in the coffee shop. This is the preferred pitcher to use for making Latte Art. Steaming & Frothing Pitcher Tip: For best steaming performance keep unused or waiting to be used steaming & frothing pitchers in the refrigerator and chilled until you are ready to steam.


  • The tapered spout makes these pitchers ideal for performing latte art
  • Stainless steel
  • Suggested thermometer length is 5-inch

4.0 out of 5 stars Latte Art?, November 5, 2008
By 
Terence Tay (Singapore) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rattleware 12-Ounce Latte Art Milk Frothing Pitcher (Kitchen)
This is one of the more competitively priced 12oz pitcher on Amazon. Its solid construction will ensure years of heavy usage. The previous reviewer commented on its handle but my medium sized hands fit the handle adequately without the need to come into contact with the pitcher. Otherwise, don't fill it to the rim with hot milk.

I pour latte art on my drinks and this pitcher has a nice sharp spout which allows the flow of milk to be easily controlled at the spout.

You can easily steam enough milk in this pitcher for 2 typical 5oz cappuccinos without spilling the milk in the steaming process. Recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad little pitcher, May 16, 2008
By 
Tiffany McNabb (Tallahassee, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rattleware 12-Ounce Latte Art Milk Frothing Pitcher (Kitchen)
This was exactly what I was looking for-a small, sturdy pitcher that I can use to make a latte for one. It's hard to have much to say about a basic pitcher, but this one is good. It's sturdy. The only drawback is the handle. Unless you use only one finger and thumb to hold it, your knuckles are going to get burned. For that reason, I just use a pot holder and grab the whole cup instead of the handle.

Excellent frothing pitcher, really does make a difference in frothing. Good size to steam enough milk for one latte. Is small enough to fit underneath the steaming nozzle on my home espresso maker.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not a bad machine, March 8, 2010
This review is from: Krups XP1020 750-Watt Steam Espresso Machine with 4-Cup Glass Carafe (Kitchen)
Do not understand why this item has so many bad reviews. It is not a bad machine!

My last expresso machine was also a Krups steam powered. Lasted for 13 years until it fell apart last week (the prssure valve inside broke). For my replacement machine, I was looking at fully automatic ones (Magnifica, $900), pump based (like cuisineart em-200, $200), and steam powered (like this item, $50). After reading all the review and knowing how pump based machine works, I decided not to go for them. The main reasons are they require a lot of maintenance and they can break down easily. I just do not want high pressure stuff in my house. If it breaks down, it may take a month or two to fix it. After warranty is over, it is more expensive to fix than buying a new one. I basically want a reliable espresso machine which can last 10 years with very little mainenance.

I typically makes a few shots in the morning as soon as I get up. I just do not see how pump based or full... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Just Junk, December 27, 2008
By 
This review is from: Krups XP1020 750-Watt Steam Espresso Machine with 4-Cup Glass Carafe (Kitchen)
I just got one of these for Christmas to replace a similar unit I used for years. The first time I tried it, it spewed water and coffee grounds all over. It practically blew up! I reduced the amount of coffee (a good Italian espresso, pre-ground fine), and the same thing happened. According to the trouble-shooting guide, the grind was too fine. I tried a coarse grind with no blowups, but the coffee was wimpy. Apparently, this espresso machine wasn't meant to make espresso coffee. This never happened with my previous unit. Pass this one up. It is simply a piece of junk.

This review is from: Krups XP1020 750-Watt Steam Espresso Machine with 4-Cup Glass Carafe (Kitchen)
I've made great cappuccino for many years using a similar machine. Better than store-bought. I thought the bad-mouthing reviewers simply didn't know what they were doing. Well, I filled my 1020 with the correct amount of water and used a reliably good espresso grind, turned on the machine and waited. And waited. And waited. Eventually, a pathetic dribble of coffee came down. At the appropriate time, I turned the knob to froth the milk. I burned my finger on the jet of steam issuing from the knob-hole on the side of the unit. A weak fizzle came out of the frothing nozzle which never increased in volume. I gave up here and went back to making the coffee - there was no more water to make steam. It had disappeared somewhere inside the machine and onto my countertop. This was such a complete failure that it was almost funny. Fortunately, I bought it locally, and can return it. I left little notes here and there in the packaging saying that this machine is a dud, and could burn... Read more
