Krups frother here. I’ve had it for a year, used daily and it shows no sign of packing in yet…
It has three settings for ‘frothiness’ and takes three diffent volumes of milk to correspond. It makes a really good hot chocolate on the high volume / low froth setting, or will do latte (medium volume / froth) or cappucino (low volume / high froth) milk on the other two.
Milk really is piping hot when it is ready.
EDIT – Can be a pain if you are doing two cups in a row – I have a two cup stove top coffee maker so wanted to be able to heat two cups of milk – which is why I chose the Krups as it had the high volume option… not as frothy as when you just do one, but at least you don’t have to wait between them.
