Question – How much does the Meno Milk Frother cost on the Morphy Richards website?
We sent top blogger and Morphy Innovator Not Supermum a Meno Milk frother to review this month. At first, she didn’t know what to expect until her brother came to stay and showed her the ropes. Anyone for a Chai Latte Tea?
P.S. If fancy getting your hands on one, take advantage of the voucher code at the bottom of her blog post and you can save 30%!
When I was asked if I’d like to review the Meno Milk Frother as part of my role as a Morphy Richards House Proud Ambassador I wasn’t really sure how often we’d use it.
My daughters like milk shakes so I knew it would be handy for that, but I’m not a big coffee drinker so I thought the occasional frothy cappuccino would be nice.
That was until my brother came to stay for a month.
He immediately wanted to use it for his Chai Latte Tea. What? It sounds horrible to me, but he loves it. It’s a spicy, frothy tea (not my cup of tea if you pardon the pun).
The Meno Milk Frother is smaller than a kettle with a 500ml capacity, and has an internal whisk. There are two options: heat and froth for hot drinks, or cold froth for milkshakes. It heats the milk to the ideal temperature for hot drinks (65 °C) and it does produce a lot of froth!
My brother found it very easy to use, although his quibble is that he would have preferred a removable internal container to make cleaning slightly easier. Even so, he used it everyday (at least twice) and it saved him a lot of money that would have otherwise gone to Starbucks
The Meno Milk Frother costs £59.99 but if you’d like to try it yourself I have a fantastic 30% money off voucher for you to use.Just quote voucher code HPI6030 at the checkout stage of the Morphy Richards website. Happy frothing!
This month, one of the products we’ve sent our expert team of Innovators is the Meno Milk Frother, the perfect gadget for making cappuccinos, lattes and frothy shakes. Find out what Katie Bryson thought of the product below or click here to read the original post on her blog, Feeding boys and a firefighter.
Some people might think a milk frother is a fairly gimmicky gadget, I however am a big fan of milky coffee so couldn’t wait to give the Morphy Richards Meno a drive.
This was the latest product to be sent for me to try by MP as part of my duties as a Home of the House Proud Innovator – it’s a tough gig but someone’s got to do it!
It’s the size of a small kettle, very sleek in brushed stainless steel so looks great on your work surface should you choose to leave it out.
It has two settings – either heat and froth for cappuccinos, lattes and hot chocolates, or the cold froth setting for milk shakes.
First up I made myself a frothy coffee. I poured the milk into the jug – there are handy lines inside the jug to let you know the minimum and maximum amounts for both settings. Then I switched it on and two minute later I was rewarded with some very frothy and warm milk to pour onto my coffee – not too hot, not lukewarm either. Very pleasing indeed, especially compared to milk that has been heated up in the microwave like I normally do it.
It created so much froth that I was able to make the boys two babyccinos as well as my coffee which they were delighted with.
For my second test I made milkshakes with the children. We mashed up some strawberries and poured them into the machine with some milk then switched it to froth. It didn’t froth up as much as the warm milk, but still bubbled up a pleasing amount.
The boys were delighted with the result.
Finally, on the night of the riots, I made hot chocolates for Matthew and I to provide a bit of comfort. I poured the powder in first, then the milk and let the frother do the mixing. It was very pleasing – creamy and bubbly but not cappuccino frothy. I guess the powder prevents it from going too crazy.
The only weaknesses I could find are the squeaky noise it can make as it whirrs around, and the lid has such a strong seal on it that it’s tricky to get on and off – beware flying milk froth!
It’s pretty easy to wash up with a quick swirl of hot water and detergent inside.

Now, in all honesty . . . being Mormons, we don’t really drink a lot of coffee and tea in this house . . . (read nada, zip, zilch . . . here) . . . but we do enjoy ourselves a tasty hot chocolate from time to time. I had never experienced using a milk frother before so I was rather interested in how it worked.
To say I was amazed was the very least that I could say about this machine . . . that a simple machine could take a small amount of milk and turn it into such a gargantuan amount of froth was quite simply very surprising to me. You could say I was very easily impressed . . . but, that’s simply not true. I’ve seen some pretty amazing things in my day . . . and this little machine turns a relatively small amount of milk into a lot of froth in quite simply two minutes, tops!
Todd was the first one to put it through his paces creating a hot froth for his hot chocolate. (I am not a hot drinker at all per say.) He found it very simple to use. You just measure the amount of milk into the main canister, which is very visibly marked on the inside with the amount you need for any given serving. You then pop on the lid . . . push the button and go. Two minutes later you have a whole lot of lovely froth . . . an amazing amount of froth actually! Todd’s been really enjoying it at least several times a day now since it arrived, and he’s been very happy with it’s performance.
The lid does fit very snugly, so it can be a bit difficult to remove, but other than that, it’s very easy to clean . . . a simple rinse with some hot water and a good dry with a soft cloth and it’s good to go again. It also takes up relatively very little space on the countertop, which is a real bonus in my tiny kitchen!
As for my cheeky self, I’ve been putting it through it’s paces making myself a lovely milkshake now and again . . . ok . . . I confess . . . so it’s been daily, but who can blame me when they see the results!
I’ve been using skim milk and I have ended up with a lovely fluffy frothy milkshake every time! It’s a great way to get me to drink my milk and I can well imagine in a house where you have a lot of children and teens it would come in very handy indeed. I found myself wondering where on earth such a treasure had been when my own children had been growing up!!
(A rather cheesy video I made of the machine in action.)
From the Morphy Richards site:
A large capacity milk frother perfect for making a variety of hot and cold drinks such as cappuccinos, lattes and frothy shakes. It heats and froths milk to 65 °C, which is just the right temperature for adding to your coffee to make a great tasting hot, frothy milk drink. Alternatively why not utilise the 500ml capacity and create a cold, frothy shake using a milkshake mix like Crusha. A simple to use, one step operation means you can have freshly frothed hot or cold milk within a matter of minutes.
It also comes with a 2 year Warantee, which is quite good if you ask me, and right now if any of you here in the UK are interested in purchasing one, Morphy Richards are offering my UK readers the chance to making a 30% discount on this product when they quote the promotional code: HPI6030 at the checkout stage on the Morphy Richards website. You can’t ask for much better than that!
The Morphy Richards Meno Milk Frother retails at £59.99 and is a nice little gadget to have around. Many thanks to Chris at Finn PR, Morphy Richards and the Morphy Richards House Proud Innovator Scheme for affording me this opportunity to try out something new. I’d quite honestly give this little baby a 9 1/2 * out of 10*. (And the only reason I took off 1/2 was because the lid is quite snug, but then again, that is probably a good thing when you have a hot or cold liquid being frothed about at that speed.)
(This chronic dieter now has a new best friend. It is the Meno Milk Frother. A fabulous way to make you feel like you are indulging in something rich and creamy and fluffy . . . without all the calories of whipped or iced cream, and in just . . . two . . . minutes!!)
This month, we sent a selection of our ‘House Proud Innovators’ the Meno Milk Frother for them to review. The Milk Frother is perfect at this time of year for creating refreshing milkshakes! Anyway, one of the bloggers to test out the machine was Helen who blogs at ‘Fuss Free Flavours’, check out her review below. To read the original post click here.
Would the Meno deliver fantastic froth or just paltry bubbles?
I have to admit that I was quite skeptical about the frother, which sounded like a gadget that had been made just because the Morphy boffins could. But I also hold my hand up and admit that I am biased as I am not a fan of hot milky drinks.
I handed it over to Ed to put it thought its paces as he likes a good frothy coffee.
The machine is about the size of a large cafetière, and froths milk in a manner that can only be described fuss free. Simply pour in the milk – there are fill lines etched on the inside of the machine – put the lid on and press either the hot or cold button. The machine froths in a matter of minutes. Hot frothy milk was far better than that from my (non Morphy Richards) espresso machine, with a good firm froth with tiny even sized bubbles.
The machine performs spectacularly well with soy milk. On both the hot and cold settings the milk was turned entirely to froth.
The machine is quiet, looks good, has a small footprint on the work top, and is easy to clean with a rinse and a wipe straight after use. Another good way to clean it would be warm water and a DROP of washing up liquid then set it off, keeping a close eye on it. I found the lid quite stiff to get on and off.
Great if you make lots of milky drinks or want hot frothy milk for coffee. I imagine that it would be fantastic in the winter for hot chocolate and would be especially appealing for making milky drinks for children. If you are not into milky drinks then it just another gadget that is not going to be used.
And as far as the froth goes certainly frothtastic!
Undoubtedly you could get creative in a Hestonesque manner with the Meno Milk Frother, and I am thinking about making a frothy gazpacho, bloody Mary or the like and would love a frother attachment for my handheld blender.
The Meno Milk Frother is available from Morphy Richards for £59.99.
Thank you to Morphy Richards for my frother.
