I *love* this little thing. It really makes making fresh coffee a joy. Milk froths up lots, so I tend to spoon the froth into the coffee and then stir it in before adding a bit more foam on top, otherwise you end up with more froth on top than actual milk in the coffee.
You get two different attachments, 2 of the whisk type (I do hope that doesn't mean it's prone to breaking, rather just in case one is lost) and one of the "blender" type which is just a plain disc which spins without frothing, which is used for hot chocolate and so on. These are stored safely underneath the unit itself, which I didn't realise at first and thought that mine were missing from the box.
It's sturdy, too. The jug feels solid and the unit feels heavy-duty enough to last. The jug itself is non-stick so you can't use metal spoons in there to get the foam out, I just use a little silicone spatula. It makes it really easy to clean though, even if you don't rinse it out straight away.
Almond milk, unfortunately, doesn't froth up like regular milk, but skimmed milk froths up fine if you're looking to save calories. I've also been experimenting by adding flavours (like vanilla extract) to the milk before frothing, which tastes lovely and means that even the foam has great flavour.
