Q: what size battery it takes
submitted by Milk frother - 2 years ago
A: This device uses two AA batteries.
submitted byBodum - 2 years agoBrand expertA: Why is it so many people can't/don't read the product descriptions??
submitted byPappy - 2 years ago
Q: Is there a on off button
submitted by Kari - 5 years ago
A: Yes the top of the frother has an on/off button!
submitted byBodum - 5 years agoBrand expertA: Yes! At first we were trying to push the button on the top DOWN (like our previous frother) to turn it on but on this one, you push it to the SIDE.

Q: is it made in china???????????????????????????
submitted by me - 5 years ago
A: Hello, yes this product is Made in China but is made with the exact same high production standards and care as our products made in Portugal.
submitted byBodum - 5 years agoBrand expertA: Yes and it’s very cheap quality.

Q: How do I put the batteries in ?
submitted by N - 4 months ago
A: Thank you for your question! The SCHIUMA Milk Frother uses two AA batteries for operation, which are inserted at the base of the device. To install them, remove the battery cap by gripping the rubberized edge and pulling until the tabs disengage. Then, using the graphic instructions inside the battery compartment as a guide, align the positive and negative ends of the batteries correctly and slide them in. Secure the cap by aligning the curved edge with the curve of the base and pressing firmly until the tabs snap back into place. To operate, gently press the power switch away from the curved edge of the base. Hope this helps!

Q: Can I use this with milk and Carnation instant breakfast to mix them together?
submitted by Louise - 7 months ago
A: Thank you for your question! We recommend only using the SCHIUMA for frothing milk or milk alternatives. Using the device to mix dry and wet ingredients can lead to build up on the whisk, which impacts performance, and can overwork the motor. Hope this helps!
submitted byBodum - 7 months agoBrand expert
Q: Can i use this in coffee I have added froth powder to?
submitted by jean110 - 8 months ago
A: Excellent question! The SCHIUMA has not been tested with milk that has frothing powder added to it, so we can’t say exactly what the results might be. However, we recommend using the frother with about 2-4oz of liquid at a time, as opposed to an entire cup of coffee, since the whisk isn’t designed for large volumes. Insert the whisk near the bottom of the vessel, push the power switch to the side (away from the curved edge of the base) to operate, and gently raise and lower the frother for 20-30 seconds to properly aerate the liquid. Please note that using additives with the liquid may clog the whisk, which can impact performance. We suggest cleaning the whisk thoroughly between each use. Thank you for your question!

Q: The lid on the battery cap pops off regularly. is this a factory defect or typical quality?
submitted by rayman - 2 years ago
A: The cap of the Schiuma Milk Frother fits on the body of the device in one direction only. If you are experiencing issues with the lid coming off, check to see if the lid is being put on in the correct direction after the batteries are inserted.
submitted byBodum - 1 year agoBrand expert
Q: Does anyone else on/off button doesn't work, I have to pop the top every time I want to turn it off
submitted by Ashley - 2 years ago
A: This is not the typical function of this device. The Schiuma Milk Frother has a switch that slides back and forth along the wide axis of the device. Press down firmly and slide the switch until you feel a small click. Your device should then turn off.
submitted byBodum - 2 years agoBrand expert
Q: I just got mines today I put the batteries in but it does not get warm or hot is this normal?
submitted by Dulce - 3 years ago
A: This device does not have a heating element and is not designed to heat milk. You can create warm froth by heating milk before frothing in the microwave or on the stove before frothing.
submitted byBodum - 3 years agoBrand expert
Q: I washed it and haven't used it yet and it's not working at all. Are the batteries included? Trying to see how the bottom comes off to check if the batteries are inside but its not coming off at all.
submitted by Soccer mom - 3 years ago
A: Batteries are not included and this frother requires two AA batteries properly inserted to function. When removing the lid you can use the small lip on one side to help you easily lift it off. After correctly inserting the AA batteries ensure that the lid is properly aligned with the lip in the same place.

We’re sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your SCHIUMA Milk Frother. The battery cap is designed to be removed by applying pressure under the rubberized lip until the securing tabs disengage - this is easiest when gripping the device upside down and popping off the cap with your thumb. The housing should not come apart during this process, so we’d like to learn more to better investigate. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Thank you for your review!

Barely works, as soon as it hits liquid it barely spins
1 reply from Bodum team - 11 days ago
We’re sorry to hear you’re not completely satisfied with your SCHIUMA Milk Frother. For best results, we recommend using it with 2–4 oz of cold milk or milk alternative; submerge the whisk near the bottom of your frothing vessel, press the power switch gently to the side to activate, and slowly raise and lower the frother for about 20–30 seconds to create a light and airy foam. Please note that using more than the recommended amount of liquid, frothing thicker liquids, or attempting to mix in powders or supplements can lead to decreased performance or damage over time. If you’d like to share more about your experience, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Thank you for your review!

I have no issue with the functionality of the froth. I like it. My problem is that the cap that holds the batteries in keeps popping off and it is difficult to get it to stay on.

While we’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the functionality of the SCHIUMA Milk Frother, we’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing some frustration with the battery cap.

I bought this 7/2024, it is now 6/2025. It worked great initially but over the last 2 months I've noticed it's working w less & less power. I changed the batteries a few times thinking it was the issue & no dice. So $10 but won't last a year with daily usage. But when it was working at full power it worked well.

1 reply from Bodum team - 2 months ago
We’re sorry to hear that you’re having some trouble with your SCHIUMA Milk Frother. The whisk is made of premium, food-safe stainless steel, which is standard for kitchen tools and food prep. If you're experiencing an unusual taste, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the whisk and your frothing vessel with hot water and dish soap. Also, ensure your milk or milk alternative is fresh, and note that heating can sometimes change the flavor profile. If the issue persists, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service team at support@bodum.com with more details. Thank you for your review!

DBon - 3 months ago
I’ve purchased two of these now and both had the same problem where it stops working after a few uses. I’ve even tried changing the batteries but that makes no difference. It barely froths my milk because it stops working after a few minutes. I don’t recommend this product due to poor functionality.

Bought on 4/29, review created next day. PROS: quickly froths, creates a lot of foam, easy to clean, and low price. CONS: button isn’t kid friendly(anyone with carpal tunnel and arthritis might have difficulty), the plastic is light but clearly very breakable, no holder. Will come back when it breaks to say how long it lasted for us.

Works great for about 3 months. Then it just doesn’t work the same. Even after changing batteries

We’re sorry to hear that you’re not completely satisfied with your SCHIUMA Milk Frother. We’d like to know more about the device’s decline in performance over time so we can better investigate the issue. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at support@bodum.com with more details. To maintain peak performance, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the device - particularly the whisk - immediately after every use, as any buildup can impact performance. Additionally, using the SCHIUMA to froth large volumes of liquid, especially thick liquids, or to blend powders or ingredients into liquids, can over time strain and exhaust the motor, resulting in decreased performance. We recommend using the SCHIUMA only with about 2–4 oz of milk and operating for no more than 20–30 seconds at a time. Thank you for your review!

To help us better understand and investigate the issue, we’d appreciate if you could reach out to our customer service team at support@bodum.com with more details. Please note that the SCHIUMA is designed specifically to froth 2–4 oz of cold milk or milk alternatives for 20–30 seconds at a time and should be cleaned immediately after each use. It is not intended for mixing or blending other ingredients, as this can clog the whisk and strain the motor. Thank you for your feedback!

Very weak when it hits any kind of resistance. Got it despite bad reviews thinking maybe they were just being picky, but nah, it's as bad as the reviews lol
1 reply from Bodum team - 3 months ago
We’re sorry to hear that you’re not completely satisfied with your SCHIUMA Milk Frother. We’d like to better understand the resistance issue you experienced, so please feel free to contact our customer service team at support@bodum.com with more details. For optimal performance, we recommend using the SCHIUMA on 2–4 oz of cold milk or milk alternative, ensuring the whisk can move freely without pressing it against the sides or bottom of your cup. The motor is not designed to handle high resistance like an electric hand mixer, so gently raising and lowering the whisk while frothing for 20–30 seconds at a time will yield the best results. Thank you for your feedback!

Betty - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
First of all, the batteries don’t go in the direction they’re labeled. Tried that. Switch them to how it looks like they should go and it “worked.” When it “worked” it would rotate at a decent speed until it hit any type of resistance, liquid included, and it would slow down to almost a stop. This happened in multiple liquids - water, milk, and cream. Don’t waste your money, this is a piece of junk.
1 reply from Bodum team - 3 months ago
We’re sorry to hear that you’re not completely satisfied with your SCHIUMA Milk Frother. It sounds like you may have received a fluke model, as the battery orientation graphics inside the compartment are tested for accuracy. We’d love to learn more about your experience so we can better investigate - please feel free to reach out to us at support@bodum.com. Regarding the rotation speed, for best results we recommend using the SCHIUMA with only 2–4 oz of cold, low-fat milk and running the frother for 30 seconds at a time, gently raising and lowering the whisk without pressing it into the sides or bottom of the glass. Thank you for your review!
