I had the similar looking Bodum creamer, which is unfortunately broken. I opted for this device because the Bodum now has a glass handle on what I regard as very susceptible to damage. I also heat the milk in a glass pot in the microwave because I was concerned that the handle is hot.
This Melior frother is just like my previous Bodum part, I love my milk froth and costs even less decided. I am happy with it.
