Question 1

Have you tried frothing matcha with this device?

Accepted Answer

The froth on a cup of matcha is not simply from whisking (though it does help), but rather from a compound in the matcha powder itself called saponin. Some matcha has higher saponin content than others, but all quality matcha should froth. If your cup of matcha isn't frothing the way you like, the mistake could be either one of the three:

1) Not sifting your Matcha
If you want good froth, you have to sift. Matcha is ground into a super-fine powder, the particles have a tendency to clump together and pack very easily. This milk frother does an amazing job of that! Just sift before you add water.

2) Using cold water
If your water is not hot enough (below 80C) your matcha may not froth correctly. Consider cold brew matcha. It is brewed with ice cold water, shaken vigorously, but only has a little, if any, froth to it. Using water hotter than optimum temperature is fine (but definitely not boiling).

3) Incorrect water to powder ratio
You don't need a whole bowl of matcha powder to make an enjoyable drink, you simply need to get the ratio of powder to water right so it doesn't end up too thick. The ratio is typically 60-70 ml of water to 2 grams of matcha powder, or 1/2-1 teaspoon. In a proper pitcher, this leaves plenty of room to swirl and expand while it is whisked so it doesn't slosh over the sides. The room for movement is crucial in order to create frothing.

With that being said, just follow these tips and you'll be frothing those amazing Matcha cups in no-time :)

Question 2

What size batteries does it take?

Accepted Answer

Two AA Batteries! The first one that goes at the bottom, the positive side faces the button, and the one on top of it, the positive side faces the whisk :)

Question 3

How loud is this device?

Accepted Answer

Minimal noise; its loud enough so that you know its on, but a person standing a few feet from you woudlnt be able to hear it.

Question 4

will it make a thicker creme' on espresso?  I'm referring to the coffee itself, not the milk.

Accepted Answer

Crema from espresso is actually from gas released by the bean as water runs over it. The fresher the bean the more crema. A local roaster who roasts small batches, and are usually cheap, will be great for more crema. But this frother will do well w cold foam!!
