Has anyone used this frother for making bulletproof coffee? The coffee with butter and coconut oil/ MCT oil?

That's what I use it for. Dave Asprey recommends a blender but this is so much easier.

Absolutely! I put it on a medium heat and wait until it just starts to steam - fat free milk, believe it or not, foams the best. After ten pumps, let it sit about 2 minutes then take the top of and swirl to incorporate all the foam. I actually even put the coffee in with the milk and it is like dessert!

Mine's been working well since I bought it, it's been through one set of batteries (that came with it) and I put a new set in last week. With the new batteries it is super powerful, I have whipped heavy cream with it, frothing milk only takes a few seconds if you are making 1-2 servings or so. I bought it about 3 months ago I think.

My frother worked well for a few months and has sadly died.I will not buy another Aroma.I found that the cappachino attachment worked much better than the latte one.I never used the latte one.Also certain brands of milks worked better-very weird.It does't get very hot but if you want it hotter you can micro after for 20 seconds

It's worth giving it a shot but I'm not sure. As I said in my review, it kind of separates. Even when it's introduced into something hot like coffee. I never did try to cook with it for this reason. I would speculate that maybe if you stuck it in the frig so you would have coconut cream accumulate at the top of the can that the cream may be could be used to make a creamy yogurt type thing. Maybe someone else has more experience using it for something like you suggest. In fact, I may try to use the coconut cream that way instead of tossing the extra cans I have. Thanks for making me think on the subject. Regardless, some people have reactions to guar gum, other's not so much. Good luck. Let us know if it works (if that's possible).

Yes, I have. It works just fine. I warmed the milk because you can either froth milk using cold OR hot, depending on your preference. I LOVE this frother!!

This is a 'block' of pure coconut cream, would imagine you could break off a piece and melt in hot coffee, should be delicious! I, of course, love anything coconut but have not tried this in my coffee but do use the coconut oil in my coffee. Hope you enjoy!

No, but its my understanding that the right fat % is what makes it froth well. I tried with a dash of cream in my 2% milk and it wouldn't froth. Usually froths really nice with the 2% alone.

I followed the directions and got great froth. After the coffee begins to drip into cup, push lever to the left and froth. You will need a stainless steel pitcher. I use almond milk mostly but skim or 1% milk work great too. I recommend taking off the aerator tip as well. It makes too much foam before you can get the milk hot enough. Keep tip of nozzle close to the surface of the milk.

Yes, to brew coffee with froth you use the "cafe latte" setting.The heat & froth setting is to RE-heat and RE-froth only.Maybe the whisk doesn't work properly on the "cafe latte" setting.?Maybe the type of milk you're using is reducing the amount of froth you're receiving.?Either way, the froth and coffee should be brewing together and if it's not, then the item is not working properly.

I tried it in my coffee, it is more like putting coconut oil in it, what ya use is coconut milk..

I really didn't do it like you said above but I did make a frappe with a spoon of nescafe and sugar in a half glass of water and then used this to froth it. I must say that it really does the job well and much quicker than the last time when I used a plastic shaker.

The comment that the milk frother requires a high fat content milk/cream is not accurate. The higher the fat content, the less foam it will produce. Skim milk will yield the most dense foam. I have never added flavored creamer, or any liquid other than milk for that matter, as the instructions say not to. But to be honest, I probably would if I liked flavored coffee. I can't imagine why it would cause a problem - especially if you wash it well afterwards.

I heat my milk in the microwave (in a pyrex measuring cup) before frothing and it works just fine. I don't want to add cold frothed milk to my hot coffee. Just keep in mind that the milk volume will almost double, so the container you froth in needs room to allow for this. This is handy to take on trips too. Even camping

There is a professional fine foam frother designed for the C-5... It's expensive and I've found that it doesn't work that well.

It worked great for my coffee. The big problem I had is it ate batteries in like two day. I never used it to mash anything, just to stir coffee and occasionally whip eggs. But it broke after about 10 uses. So, I would look for something a little more reliable, that my opinion. I hope this helps? Thank you

A milk frother used high pressure steam to heat and froth. Seriously doubt this would work.
