The Cuisinart Hot and Cold Foam Milk Frother (FR-16) brings café-quality foam to your countertop. With a touch of a button, it whips up to 4 oz of rich, creamy hot or cold foam for lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, and hot chocolate—or heats up to 8 oz of milk for warm beverages. The stainless steel nonstick milk tank and cool-touch exterior make it a reliable everyday coffee companion.
Cuisinart FR-16 Milk Frother: Hot or Cold, One-Button Simple
Whether you want airy hot foam for a morning cappuccino or dense cold foam for an iced latte, the FR-16 does it without a separate espresso machine. The included frothing whisk creates thick foam, while the milk-warming stirrer heats milk without over-frothing. The easy-grip handle and integrated spout make pouring into your cup or mug clean and precise.
Why Is My Frother Not Frothing?
If your Cuisinart milk frother is heating but not producing foam, the most common fix is the whisk attachment. Make sure the spring-style frothing whisk is properly inserted, not the stirring whisk. Also use cold, fresh milk and fill only to the ‘froth’ line—too much milk or old, warm milk won’t foam well. If you’ve used whole milk successfully and it just stopped foaming, a quick clean of the tank and whisk usually restores performance.
Cleaning Your Frother
After each use, unplug the frother, let it cool, and wipe the nonstick milk tank with a damp cloth. The lid is dishwasher-safe, and the whisks are easy to rinse by hand. Avoid submerging the base or using abrasive pads on the interior.
