I was looking to purchase Froth Au Lait. It looks quite OK, but I have some questions for those who really use it at home:\r\n- is it easy to clean?\r\n- can it make mocha cappuccino espresso?\r\n- can heating and frothing cycle be stopped anytime?

I like mocha cappuccino espresso very much and I make it in my Froth Au Lait. I put some chocolate in the pitcher with milk and press the on button. I do not like the thick froth, so I lift the pitcher before its finished and poor the froth into a 15 oz cup with my espresso. Both my espresso and froth are ready at the same time.

It is really very easy to clean. Right after use, poor some warm water in the pitcher to soak. Then wash the pitcher, whip and lid with warm soapy water. I usually just rinse it right out, wipe and dry. Also never place a frothing pitcher in the dishwasher!

I also have Froth Au Lait at home. Very nice indeed and easy to clean. It automatically shuts off in about three minutes, when the frothing cycle is complete. Also the heating and frothing cycle can be stopped anytime by just removing the pitcher from the base.

Cleaning: my manual suggests also that occasionally the Froth Au Lait should be operated with one and a half cups of water and small amount of mild detergent.

I like Au Lait FROTH'n SAUCE in their store.\r\n\r\nEspecially what it can do:\r\nIt's a Froth Maker \r\nIt's a Sauce Maker\r\nIt's a Dessert Maker\r\nIt's a Hot Beverage Maker\r\n\r\nLooks like a nice little thing \r\nMaybe I will purchase it for my mother on her birthday....

I own this unit for a year now. It has lots of good qualities: heats milk while it froths, flavor hatch, automatic shut-off, makes rich, long-lasting froth. Alternative to a cappuccino/espresso machine, makes great lattees, other specialty coffee drinks, dessert toppings and more. Works well for one serving or up to six servings.

This is the best choice if you are the only coffee drinker in your family and if you do not want to spend bucks on expensive coffee maker.
