Lavazza MilkUp

Best milk frother we have used – We have tried many milk frothers with disappointing results. Although it does not produce a large amount of froth it is fine for two people. It is quick and automatically switches off. Easy to clean. We use Browne's Extra Creamy milk or Harvey Fresh Jersey Girl milk to obtain satisfactory froth. Any extra creamy milk will result in a satisfactory… Read more

froth result.If you find you require a hotter cup I put part of the foam in the cup then some boiled water and then the rest of the foam. It is still performing well without any problems almost four years later.

Great frother when it works – I’ve had this for over a year. The quality of the froth is excellent. Doesn’t stick to the bottom. Works with full cream milk and milky soy milk (eg vita soy so milky). It won’t froth well with skinny/skin milk. It also doesn’t froth well with substandard full cream milk that has been watered down in anyway. I’ve noticed using coles… Read more ·  1

brand/Woolworths brand milk sometime it froths and sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve put this down to variations in the milk. Aldi milk and branded full cream milk give the most consistent results. Basically you have to use decent milk to get good results. I like frothy lattes so I use the notched disc only and fill to max ( for me this produces the beverage that I like most). As time goes on sometimes it does make a vibration noise on and off which leads to milk not frothing properly. I think this may be trying to do a ‘cold froth’ even though I have not held the button for the amount of time that I should to produce the cold froth. So it’s a bit glitchy but when it works it works really well. I do note that the machine at work which is identical doesn’t have this glitch and works every time without fail. It’s an older model which might be why?

Completes our coffee travel kit – Recent road trips with fresh beans, grinder and plunger fell short in one area ... heated and frothed milk for the drinks prepared each morning. Joining our new Baratza Sette grinder acquisition is this milk frother which performed very well for the week that we used it recently. As observed in a few reviews below, choosing the correct disc as… Read more ·  1

per the instructions is critical, thank you reviewers!

I had previously used the Nespresso frother and was concerned by two things; rather icky looking baked-on build-up down the bottom of the non-stick bowl, and despite correctly measuring to the MAX level or below, the milk loved to foam out past the lid before it finished thus making a mess on the counter.

With these in mind our first tests at home were great ... the milk heated and frothed impressively, the unit cut off at an appropriate time without spilling a drop of milk from the lid, and the stainless steel jug was very easy to clean. The milk-touching parts can be washed in the dishwasher but they were so easy to rinse and leave to dry each day.

Does it froth to the same texture as a steam wand on an espresso machine? No, the froth is quite aerated, light and too plentiful. Can I pour latte art with it? I can't, but don't let me stop you trying. Does this detract from enjoying a nicely made wake-up brew in the hotel room? NO! What about the milk temp? Nicely warmed, not too hot, not too cool. Mind you, we prefer our milk on the cooler side so please keep that in mind.

Any reservations? Yes, I wish it could hold a bit more milk. The MAX line is sufficient to fill my 5oz tulip cup with a double ristretto pour, but not quite enough to add to her long black. I will experiment with adding milk over the Max line and not running it as long to reduce the amount of foam although I'll have to carefully watch that it doesn't overflow!

Of course I could refill it and run it again, I'd just have to explain to someone why her coffee is taking longer than mine ...

So far we are very happy with the Lavazza Milk Up, we just wish it came in the colour on the box (Red) instead of the boring Black.

*** Update 7 Aug 2022 *** As noted above I found the milk foam very aerated using just the curly crown, the warmed milk tastes as expected but it's visually a bit disappointing compared to what I am used to making on the espresso machine.

On a recent trip I tried using the two crowns together with the curly side up and it worked really well for me! Using A2 Full Cream milk I was able to fill it a bit over the Max line, cap it, Start and no spillage.

The milk foam texture was very fine and dense compared to using the curly crown on its own, with a glossier appearance that approached what I achieve with the steam wand on my espresso machine.

On our next trip I'll take a milk jug to see if tipping the foamed milk into it lets me pour rosettas.

great product works well – bought this from the good guys about a month ago $79.00, very good for the money ,my only gripe needs to make the milk a bit hotter maybe a temp control other wise very happy Show details

The best frother – We have had the Milk-Up Lavazza for a month. Have previously used the Nespresso frother, which is OK, but it doesn't heat the milk so the milk has to be heated in the microwave first. What we like about the Milk-Up is that it heats the milk as it froths; it has a S/S cup that is separate from the motor/body and is easy to clean; the froth is… Read more

thicker than the Nespresso model; it beeps when the frothing is completed. Like other brands it only makes one mug at a time which is not a issue. We use Skim-Long-Life-milk and that makes great froth. We are really happy with our purchase. UPDATE: I wrote this 4-years ago and our frother is still going strong, love it.

So good – Way better than the Nespresso milk frother. Stainless steel makes for easy cleaning. There's never any weird residue left behind. Fairly quiet and quick, would definitely buy again and recommend.

Disappointed ..purchased a week ago – Fact : It heats up to luke warm,my hot ( so called ) chocolate won’t even melt the marshmallows. Fact : I purchased this as productreview gave it the highest praise. Show details

Only one not two crowns in box and really only heats the milk – Very disappointed as I'm a long time Lavazzo coffee bean addict and I needed a new frother so when I saw they did one - yes! I use Lactose free milk - is that the problem? Perhaps but if so I sadly need to return the brother to my place of purchase. Show details

A reliable workhorse – Haven gone through 5 Milk Frothers over a few years, I ended up buying a Lavazza Milk up. This is now two years ++ ago and it has worked reliably every single day without any issues.  Show details

Just what you need – For Coffee (frother) or hot chocolate (warm to hot milk), this machine does well. really really easy to clean As with all frothers you will not get the hot & extra hot milk you get from coffee shops but their coffee machines are commercial and far more taller, wide and and sizeable, energy consuming bulky things that are not feasible in domestic homes. all in all does the job and does it well every time  Show details

Great milk frother, but you must read the book – I was initially very disappointed to have no froth until I read the book again. You must remove the smooth crown and use only the notched crown to froth. What a huge difference it made, very happy. Show details

Lavazza Milk Up Frother – Do not recommend. Bought at Officeworks< would not froth the milk. Thought the milk was wrong, tried different type of milk. Same story. Exchanged for a new one at Officeworks. Same story. Do not recommend.

Disappointing – I was given the Lavazza a modo mio at Christmas. Worked well for a month. Hoever, today, January 30, 2021, no froth. Very disappointing, as I cannot exchange it, as it was a gift.  Show details

The best frother – I've tried the nespresso and aldi frothers. This is easily the best one. The removable section makes for easy cleaning. Also you don't end up with the weird gunk that seems to accumulate on the non stick options. 10/10 would recommend

Works perfect – So many people complaining that it doesn't froth when it comes down to the milk you use. I have found different brands of milk froth more than others, some hardly at all. But I have had no trouble and it gets used twice a day for many months with great results. It heats quickly and washes up so easily. This is far superior to the old Sunbeam I… Read more

had. You don't have to wait for it to cool down to make another cuppa, it is ready straight away. It is a ripper.

Milk Frother – I found that after not using for about 6 months that the frother no longer froths, heats perfectly but no more froth. I tried replacing the frother part but still to no avail. Show details

Not consistent – First machine had for 9 days. I only used the foam disk and for the first full week worked perfectly. Last two days was hit and miss with having any foam at all. Exchanged for a new one - first cup was great the 2nd had no foam at all. Tried again this morning and no luck. Will have to take it back for refund. Disappointing as I thought I was getting a really good machine for a great price. Show details

Easy to use, makes lovely latte, hot or cold chocolate – Good quality, easy to use milk frother with stainless steel cup. Induction rather than traditional steam method, so milk doesn't get watery. Option for frothed or steamed, hot or cold. Makes lovely latte and hot chocolate. Dish washable or easily hand washed. Only makes 1 cup, and takes about 2-3 min, so not suitable if you need to make multiple cups, but for single use, it is pretty much perfect. Show details

Lavazza my Milk Up froth maker – Bought my Lavazza Milk Up from reading the Product reviews and has truly delivered. Easy to use and works brilliantly in every-way with quick and easy Hot chocolates, frothy cappuccino & creamy flat whites during the lockdowns and so easy to clean. Worth every cent :) Show details

So Easy to use and clean!! – Very easy to use and clean. Quick and easy. My only gripe would be that you can't froth much milk at once, maybe about 175ml. But great for the price and happy with the purchase. Show details

Lavazza milk up – I bought this product because its stainless steel. Its easy to clean and the temperature of milk warm. I use Soy Milk which does create significant froth and limited liquid. I fill to the minimum level so perhaps that's the reason. After pouring the warmed milk into my cup l add a dash of cold milk to this container to liquify the froth, swirl it… Read more

around and add to my coffee. I've also used barrista milk but not much difference so continue to use standard milk.

Perfect. Use it daily with no complaints – After relying so much on all these reviews to decide on a new milk frother, I felt I should write one. Bought mine a few months back, used daily (sometimes multiple times) and I have no complaints whatsoever. I've only used the disc in the warming, not frothing, way as it froths my soy milk perfectly as is like that. It's a nice creamy foam, not a… Read more

load of bubbles like the Aldi frother I've used previously has done. Very easy to clean, no sticking like my old Nespresso one. I find that filling to the max level makes the perfect amount of milk for my partner and I to each have a cup, but if you wanted a lot of milk in your coffee or hot drink, you might go one at a time. Very happy with this.

Very happy with produvy – Generates good froth every time (we use almond milk) and super easy to clean - just rinse under tap straight after. It doesn't take a lot of milk but big enough for a large cappuccino Show details

Excellent but a bit noisy – Great little machine - froths well and very easy to clean. My only complaint is that it is a bit noisy - the lid rattles unless you hold it down. But I'm still very happy - I had to return 2 Dualit milk frothers because they both stopped working within the first 3 months! Show details

Fantastic little machine – The Lavazza Milk Up frother is very easy to use and froths up milk beautifully. The instructions are simple and in many languages. I always read reviews before purchasing anything and the Lavazza had easily the best reviews of all the milk frothers that I read. The price is reasonable and well worth it, a great machine I would highly recommend. Show details ·  1

Very Happy – Easy to clean; great results; good temperature; not too noisy; 2 types of milk for latte or cappuccino. Use it sometime to make hot chocolate too by throwing choco powder into the milk. Love that its so easy to use with just a click of the button. No problems so far  Show details

Completes the at home coffee experience – I bought this milk frother partly because of the name but more because it was small making one or two servings at a time. The bench space was also a consideration in my small kitchen. It allows the coffee to be hot and stays hotter for longer so I think the perfect addition for the home coffee. The frother is thick and stays right to the last drop! So glad I purchased it.  Show details

Doesn’t get hot enough to enjoy – Froths quite well but temp not hot enough for me to enjoy. Show details

Disappointed – The Lavazza Milkup is a disappointment. Very little froth and milk is not hot enough. Expected more from an expensive Frother. Show details
