HIC Milk Frother

No, this is a manual frother and does not have a heating element. For hot foam, you should heat your milk on the stove or in the microwave before pouring it into the carafe to froth.

The carafe has a 16-ounce capacity, but you should only fill it about one-third full with milk. This leaves enough room for the milk to expand as it aerates without overflowing.

Yes, the tempered glass carafe is dishwasher safe. However, we recommend hand-washing the lid and the mesh aerator assembly to preserve the finish and ensure the mechanism stays clean and smooth.

Yes, it works with most non-dairy milks, though results vary based on the protein and fat content. Barista-style oat or soy milks typically produce the thickest, most stable foam compared to thinner almond or rice milks.

It typically takes about 20 to 30 seconds of steady, rhythmic pumping to achieve a thick, velvety texture. The exact time depends on the temperature of the milk and how much foam density you prefer.
