Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Capresso 201.01 FrothXpress Automatic Milk Frother, Black
Customer Review: 4+ years was a good run
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, we used ours for over 4 years, and it finally died. The unit came on, but the button didn't work any more. I like to see what makes things tick, so I took the machine apart which was no easy task. I don't recommend doing that unless it completely stops working. A couple of the plastic clips had cracked, but the real problem was corrosion on the metal contact parts. For a few cents more, Capresso could have used stainless steel and made this thing really last.
We did get good use from it though, using it almost every day and usually a few times per day for 4 years. It can be difficult at times to make work right, but once you learn its quirks it'll work okay for you. We missed not having it immediately, and the coffee doesn't taste as good without it. We will probably buy a replacement since I don't see anything else close for the price.

PRODUCT SPECS: Name/Model #: frothXpress, model # 201 Colors: black/silver Wattage/Volt/Hz: 1220 W/120V/60Hz Weight and Dimensions (H, W, L) 3.5 lbs. 9" x 9" x 9" 1 Year Limited Warranty for Household Use UL ListedIf you're a fan of cappuccinos, lattes, hot chocolate, or other drinks that use hot, frothy milk (and really, who isn't?), then Capresso's FrothXpress should become an indispensable part of your kitchen collection. After it's been turned on and warmed up for two minutes, it's easy to use. Just fill the water tank (which is in the actual machine), then fill the milk tank (which is a separate unit), and attach them. From that moment, it's just a matter of putting a cup under the spout and pressing the button--voilą, steamed frothy milk for a variety of treats. The milk temperature is adjustable from 120 to 170 degrees F, and the frother has 1,220 watts of power, as well as a stainless-steel ThermoBlock that ensures the aluminum parts don't touch the steam, a nice safety feature. The FrothXpress measures 8-3/4 by 6-1/2 by 8-3/4 inches (length by width by height), and looks sharp in gleaming bright black plastic. --A.J. Rathbun
