 For a few dollars more...Nov 21, 2007
By Claire Jordan
"Filmmaker - "The Baroness of New Orleans""
I have used several different frothers over the past few years, usually paying between $19 - $29 each for them. Of the battery-powered frothers I have owned, each provided excellent results with daily use for about a year until they finally gave out. Since I have had such good results with the frothers that I bought in the past, I naively assumed they were all the same, so why pay $19 when the Typhoon limousine is only $5? While the Limousine will eventually foam hot milk to an almost-acceptable level, it takes several minutes of meticulous nurturing to get it there. Better frothers will whip enough milk for two lattes in about 30 seconds. It is also obvious that the weak little Limousine is just waiting for an excuse to expire completely. I can't really complain because I feel as though I got what I paid for at $5.
So, I'm considering my Limousine purchase an inexpensive lesson learned and I'm buying a new frother. I've had the Bonjour Bonjour Cafe Latte Milk Frother, Vanilla White in the past and was pleased with the quality and quickness of it's foam and it's longevity. Or perhaps I'll go "green" and get another canister-type frother like the "Roma" Milk / Cappuccino Frother (30 Fl. Oz/ 0.88 l). I've had one of these in the past and regretfully gave it to a friend who fell in love with it. It works super-fast (a couple of quick plunges on the knob and your milk is whipped to meringue-like consistency), is so solid that it will undoubtedly work for years and requires no batteries. The only downside is that it takes a good six ounces of milk to work properly, way too much for my usual single cappuccino. The little Shin Bistro Milk Frother By Bodum is almost as good as the Roma and operates on less milk, but cannot be used on the stovetop.
Ultimately, I've used, and liked almost every frother on the market. The only one I wouldn't buy again or recommend to a friend is the Typhoon Limousine.

I bought this hoping to be able to froth my milk for my coffee. It is a piece of s--t. Do not buy. It has zero power and wont even begin to create foam...it just makes some bubbles on top of your milk. Do not buy...

Works great for the $$. Now I can have cafe style coffee by frothing my milk with this product. I recommend this product.

It simply did not work.
I returned it. Pay the freight and buy a good one for $20.00

"why not?"
My previous Typhoon gave up the ghost after about a year and a half and I didn't hesitate to buy another. More expensive ones I had in the past didn't last much longer (if at all), so the lower price was the winner. On the downside, however, it does feel cheap--lightweight and plastic-y. If the wire whisk gets bent (and it easily could) forget about it--it's done. Quality control may be spotty as well, because my last one, although adequate, was not as good as my current one. (This one rocks!) If I get a year's use out of it--and I expect to--I will feel as if I've had my money's worth.
