How to Caoresso Espresso FrothXpress Automatic Milk Frother work.

Someone told me about this frother, but she had not used one. I looked for reviews and was not entirely convinced by them. So I put the Capresso Froth Xpress on my Christmas list. I received a black one (wanted white but out of stock), have been using it for almost a week and I love it.

All the things listed in the other reviews are true. I have not had difficulty with the temperature of the milk however, and we make mochas/lattes twice a day.

My husband commented about so many little parts (there are 4), since you must assemble them and disassemble them each time to wash them, but I’m the one who does it.. and it literally takes seconds! I bought a little plastic mesh basket at the store for $1 and I just put them in it to drain-dry after use. My former frother/steamer was part of a coffee machine (not an espresso frother).

It had only two parts but one had to be cleaned with a brush and the other was a milk tank which had to be cleaned with at least a sponge - it couldn’t be simply rinsed out. Worst of all, the smaller part wore out twice a year and I needed to replace the entire tank assemblage.

I bought the Capresso because DeLonghi no longer manufactures that assemblage!! My Capresso came with a parts replacement list and you can replace any small piece you need. F

urther, Capresso has a website with plenty of information. (I still think buying from Amazon is best though.. great price and reliable service.) The only thing I don’t care about the Capresso is the Tupperware-like container that holds the milk to be frothed. It just seems too bulky to clean and use for only two people.

But the machine comes with a small tube that can be placed directly into a carton of milk. I take that tube and place it a smaller container of milk. I’ve tried it in my stainless steel frothing cup (from my espresso machine days), in a regular coffee cup, and in a glass custard cup.

All of these are easier for me than the Capresso container and take up less space, during use as well as while drying afterward.

The custard cup works best… it holds exactly the amount of milk I use for the two of us. But any small container like a small bowl, measuring cup, etc. would work perfectly. It need not be heat resistant, since it will only hold the cold milk from your fridge.

You need to experiment with the Capresso to see what works best for your situation, and to get to know how it works (especially since the steam continues after you release the steam button).

Also, after frothing the milk, I fill another small container with water and flush out the frothing line before I disassemble and wash the parts. This is not the exact sequence for flushing the line as in the instructions, so be sure to read them.

All in all, I am delighted with this little machine and much more satisfied than I expected to be. I hope my comments help you make your choice.
