Has anyone tried the aero latte to froth their milk? From the videos I see it seems to work fairly well. We found a couple models on amazon and they were less than 20 so I figured I would give it a shot. Just wanted to see if anyone had experience with it.
@chavid: I use one myself. I like to use half and half in my coffee from time to time and sometimes I take the amount of half and half I use in my coffee and put in mug, microwave it for 25 seconds or until it starts to steam. Then it takes 20 to 30 seconds or so to whip the milk up to fill the entire mug. Then I scoop it off onto a nice cup of coffee or whatever.
It seems that more fatty milk whips up better then 1%. I found that you can put some sugar or flavor into the milk before whipping and it works great.
Pardon my ignorance but is there a reason why it costs almost $20? If you go to Ikea (yeah yeah) you can buy one for $2.99. I bought one almost 6 years ago and if it wasn't because I had gotten a Nespresso Milk Frother then I would probably still be using it.

@Vetterli: well that certainly would be a cheaper option if I could easily get to an Ikea, the only one in the region would cost me more than $20 to get to after gas and ferry cost, so buying this one on amazon with prime shipping was a pretty good option.
The battery makes a difference in how good of foam in created. Low-charged batteries make the whip spin slower and the foam is not as good. You will notice this after using it for a while and put a new battery in. The old battery still makes foam but a new battery is noticeably faster in making the foam.

Fake chrome maybe? Either way they do work as they show in the videos.
This looks neat. I might have to pick one up.

@chavid: Ah, gotcha! ;)
