Automatic Electric Milk Frother And Heater From Estilo Review


Estilo_Automatic_Electric_Milk_Frother_And_Heater.jpg
Having a milk frother at home is very convenient because I can just put froth on top of my daughters' milk when they like it. I first tried out the handheld milk frother and it works really nice as well but when I have to make more than 1 serving, then it would take me longer since I have to froth milk one cup at a time. The Estilo Electric Milk Frother makes it possible for me to make more frothed milk in just 1 push of a button.

Here is a quick product description from the company:

Stainless Steel Milk Frother offers sleek styling and exceptional frothing functionality. The removable whisk, and non-stick coating present you with patented practicality. In addition, the frother features an automatic switch off. When finished frothing, the detachable base allows your Milk Frother to be taken straight to the table. Follow the instructions in the Manual Booklet and bring the coffeehouse experience home!!!

The Automatic Milk Frother and Heater from Estilo has a stainless steel exterior and a non-stick interior. The non-stick interior makes it easy for me to wash the milk frother after using it. There are 3 lines inside the milk frother which shows the minimum milk which can be placed inside the milk frother as well as the maximum milk which can be placed when frothing or heating milk.

For frothing milk, the maximum volume of milk allowed is 115 ml. For heating milk, the maximum volume of milk allowed is 240 ml.

The Estilo Milk Frother comes with 2 interchangeable mixers. One is the round metal whisk which can be used for frothing milk while the black plastic whisk is used to heat or mix milk.
The Estilo Milk Frother also has a clear lid which enables me to see what's happening inside the milk frother. The lid also has a silicone ring to keep contents inside and the lid secured. It also has a protruded part which can hold one of the mixers which isn't in use.

 Both the mixers/whisks included can be interchanged and placed on the bottom of the milk frother.

There are 2 buttons on this milk frother. The button above heats the milk while the button below just froths or mix the milk.

For heating milk, I can use the metal whisk to heat and froth the milk or use the black plastic whisk to just mix and heat the milk.

To keep milk cold, I can use the metal whisk to froth cold milk or use the black plastic whisk to mix cold milk.

Frothing milk takes about 65 seconds while heating milk takes about 80 seconds. The Estilo Milk Frother turns off automatically once it's done which is nice as well.

The Estilo Electric Milk Frother is very easy to use and very easy to clean as well. Since the inner lining has a non-stick coating, milk residue doesn't stick to the inner part of the milk frother. I just place a bit of soap and scrub it lightly then rinse it off. I wouldn't soak this under water though because the bottom part is the one which is placed on the electric, detachable base.

The look of the Estilo Automatic Milk Frother is also very nice and I like the stainless steel finish. The milk frother also has a carafe feature which makes pouring milk on cups easier. The instruction manual included is easy to follow and I like how I can make frothed milk in batches instead of making it one cup at a time.

Wine Stoppers Reusable Silicone Bottle Cap Art By Top It Off Review


Wine_Stoppers_Reusable_Silicone_Bottle_Cap_Art.jpg
When hubby drinks beer, he only drinks half a bottle and would finish the rest some other day. He usually seals it off with tissue paper (LOL, I know it's weird) to preserve the beer so I was happy to show him the Reusable Silicone Bottle Cap Art by Top It Off. It is called wine stoppers but this can be used on any standard wine, beer, champagne, and soda bottles including some larger styles.

I received 4 Reusable Silicone Bottle Cap Art as follows:
- 1 x black color with a Rough Day label
- 2 x maroon color with a Wine Not and a Liquid Therapy label
- 1 x red color with a Sip Happens label
Wine_Stoppers_Reusable_Silicone_Bottle_Cap_Art.jpg
The Reusable Silicone Bottle Cap Art by Top It Off is made of 100% food grade silicone. It measures 1.14 inches tall but the height of the wine stopper doesn't add up to the height of the bottle because it slips right over the mouth of the beer bottle.

Here is a quick product description from the company:

This is no longer an issue since we created the MindBody Active Wine Stoppers. Now instead of being frustrated when you have a half finished bottle, you can feel relief, using our wine caps to seal in the full taste of your wine. Once you remove the cork & re-seal the bottle with the our wine stoppers, your wine is air tight & the bottle can rest on its side or even upside down without leaking. Best of all, our custom bottle caps are reusable. In fact they're designed to resemble the old wine bungs used to seal wine barrels during the winemaking process in France in the 1800's. The set of wine toppers comes with 4 wine sealers with a unique design on each cap to bring a smile to your face.

- Air-tight Seal
- Leak Proof
- Eco Friendly
- Reusable
- Easy to Use
- Great Gift Idea
- Fun

I like how the Wine Stoppers Reusable Silicone Bottle Cap prolong the life of hubby's beer. Instead of him using tissue paper (I'm not even sure if that works, but he says it does!) to cover his beer bottle, he uses this instead. It's leak-proof and easy to use and it's much more effective in giving an air-tight seal. They're also easy to clean and also dishwasher safe.

Cap Mundo Yrgacheffe Nespresso Compatible Capsules Review + Giveaway 3/2 US


CapMundoNespressoYrgacheffe.jpg
I love coffee. In fact, I cannot skip on coffee at least once a day or else, I'll feel sluggish and incomplete at the end of the day. I was excited to try the Cap' Mundo Artisan Espresso Yrgacheffe flavor that I skipped reading on the part that this is compatible for a Nespresso brewer. Yes, I know. I'm at fault, but, I improvised and made it using a coffee filter paper so that I can try it myself. :) It;s not the traditional, and maybe not an accepted way, but I still did it for the sake of tasting the coffee myself.
CapMundoNespressoYrgacheffe.jpg
The Cap' Mundo Artisan Espresso comes in a box with 10 capsules. They have 7 different variety of flavors available and I was sent the Yrgacheffe one. As soon as I opened the box, I smelled the aroma of rich coffee with a hint of Jasmine.

CapMundoNespressoYrgacheffe.jpg
The capsules come in small, individually wrapped, cups. I pried the capsules open to remove the contents inside.

The Cap' Mundo Artisan Espresso has a mild coffee taste with a subtle hint of Jasmine in it. For coffee and tea lovers, this might be a nice combination. I liked the taste but I'm not a big, plain-black-coffee-type of person and I prefer mine with milk and sweetener. So coming from me, this tasted nice and tolerable.

Vino Aria Wine Aerator and Pourer Review


VinoAriaWineAerator.jpg
I'm not a wine expert or a wine connoisseur but I like trying out new products. I've never tried a wine aerator before so I was kind of excited to try the Vino Aria Wine Aerator.

VinoAriaWineAerator.jpg
Here's a little something about the Vino Aria Wine Aerator:
  • Red Wine Air Pourer With Drop Stop. Great Wine Aerator to Enhance Your Wine's Flavor
  • Fits wine bottle perfectly unlike other aerators; which can cause leaks and dripping. Simply pour your wine through the Vino Aria Aerator and into your wine glass. You'll immediately detect noticeably enhanced scents and taste
  •  This little wonder of a device instantly delivers a more satisfying wine drinking experience through the enhance breather process. It also downplays any bitterness and puckering that are associated with many red wines
  • This edition has a unique petal design with a laser engraved logo. The silver ring stands out and adds to the classy look. The rubberized core dries quickly and the sturdy construction of acrylic, you'll be using it for years to come
  • Unlike other aerators this is not bulky and it does not require two hands. The aerator offers breathability as it pours with no wait time. This is a highly gifted product, which includes admirable packaging. The black box stands out against the logo
 VinoAriaWineAerator.jpg
The Vino Aria Wine Aerator and Pourer came in a black box which looks classy and elegant. The wine aerator itself, also looks classy and elegant. This would be a perfect gift for wine lovers because it really looks nice.

I put this on a red wine I reviewed a couple of weeks back and it's very easy to install and remove. It's effective in preventing spills and drops when pouring wine. I didn't notice any difference in the taste but I noticed the scent of the wine was a bit enhanced. As I've said, I am not a wine expert maybe that's why I didn't notice any difference in taste.

The Vino Aria Wine Aerator very easy to wash and can be reused. It's very handy and light and makes the wine bottle look classy. :)
