Wanted to love this because I love that it’s stainless frother and not coated with toxic stick free coatings. Unfortunately there’s lots of plastic parts that crack shortly after purchasing. The cover cracked from the heat, then I noticed the base you put the carafe on was also plastic and cracked. Sad and unfortunate because it falls short on thought and design for lasting greatness.

After years of using a low end frother with no detachable jug and a much lower capacity, I am very happy with the Breville Milk Cafe. I first saw it at my friend's house and loved how easily it could be cleaned and how much milk it could froth. I waffled a bit over the price but I'm so glad I finally got it. I use the latte whisk daily with nonfat milk to make tea lattes. I love that I can dial in exactly how hot I want the milk. But the best part is how easy cleanup is... I don't have to wait for anything to cool down, I can immediately rinse and wash the jug, or stick it in the dishwasher. Because the whisk snaps onto the metal jug, it does make rattle sound while whisking, if noise level is a concern for you. It doesn't bother me. I'm so happy with the results and look forward to making drinks every morning.

Bought a replacement and it worked great. Highly recommend.
