Initial cleaning
Before using your milk frother, it’s important to clean the components.
- Disassemble the milk frother into 3 parts:
- The lid
- The frothing paddle (pull up gently to remove)
- The pitcher
- Hand wash the lid, the frothing paddle, and the inside of the pitcher with hot water and dish soap. Do not immerse the pitcher in water or other liquid.
- Rinse the lid, the frothing paddle, and the inside of the pitcher with clear, warm water, then dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth.
That’s it! Start whipping up that fresh, fluffy foam.
WARNING
The pitcher and base contain electrical components. To avoid fire, electric
shock or personal injury, DO NOT machine wash, rinse or immerse the milk
frother base, pitcher, power cord or plug in water or other liquids.
Making drinks
The Instant Milk Frother was designed with 2 easy-to-use button controls.
Function
Toggles through the preset programs to create various types of foam to suit
your tastes.
Start/Cancel
Starts and stops the selected program.
- The cold foam setting creates a luscious, silky microfoam filled with millions of tiny bubbles. Use milk and coconut milk for the perfect cold brew topper.
- The Milk Frother does not chill when frothing. Use chilled liquid.
- The warm foam setting heats and froths, and with a gentle swirl of the pitcher at the end, creates a loose style of warm microfoam — like a cloud floating on your café au lait and lattes.
- The warm, thick foam setting heats and froths your liquid to create a rich, dense style of warm microfoam. The crowning touch for your cappuccino.
- The warm, no foam setting heats your drink without generating any foam. This setting automatically slow-stirs your drink to keep it from scorching, for amazing steamed milk, hot chocolate and more!

Frothing tips
Follow these tips and tricks to make sure you’re treating yourself to the best drink possible.
Tip | How to do it and why |
---|
The colder the liquid the better.
| Always use the coldest, freshest milk or milk alternative possible before frothing.
When frothing, millions of tiny air bubbles are introduced into the liquid. The longer it takes to heat up, the more air can be infused into the liquid. This immediately enhances the quality of your foam, and reduces your chances of scalding. No more bad froth days!
Note : Warm milk will not foam up properly.
Not all milk alternatives produce foam.
| Oat and soy milk will create foam using either the warm or cold foaming settings.
Coconut milk will only froth using the cold foam setting.
Infuse your foam with flavor.
| Before frothing, add aromatic spices to the pitcher, like cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg, or other fragrant items like lavender. The longer you allow your ingredients to steep, the stronger the flavors will be.
It’s a tasty mix and match! Join the official Instant Pot® Facebook Community to let us know your favorite bevvy’s unique flavor profile.
Give your milk frother a break!| When frothing big batches, allow the milk frother to rest for about 3 minutes after every 2 frothing cycles.
Making latte worthy foam.
| As soon as the frother finishes whipping up your warm foam, lift the pitcher off the base, put your thumb on the lid and give it a good swirl! This helps give your latte foam the glossiness it deserves.
Care, cleaning and storage
Clean your Instant Milk Frother after every use to ensure the best possible flavor and to prevent milk from baking onto the inside of the pitcher. Always unplug the milk frother and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning. Never use metal scouring pads, abrasive powders or harsh chemical detergents on any of the milk frother’s parts or components. Let all parts dry thoroughly before use or before storage.
