Now since Christmas I am this milk frother in possession and do not regret the purchase. Based on the above recession I've been thinking for a long time to buy, but can not confirm that this needs a special pitcher. A latte glass is perfectly adequate: short warm milk in the glass / cup in the microwave, lather and directly add the espresso. Light as it gets! And the expensive battery replacements also eliminates finally! For this, the frother still looks good and needs despite charging station very little space. I can only recommend it.
