Cleaning the frother is also as easy as a breeze. All I do is run the frother in a cup of water for just a few seconds to loosen up any stickiness arising from the milk; then I only wipe it with a clean, damp piece of cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also like the fact that I can use any pitcher or cup to make frothed milk since this machine does not need exclusive use of specially designed containers.
