Jann:

We just got a milk frother which I'm sure is the same as Brenda's - just a different brand. It is called
Bon Jour Primo Latte (click here) and also functions on 2 AA batteries. It is great; just put a bit of milk in the bottom of your coffee cup, froth it and pour in the coffee. A friend gave it to us as a gift and we plan to give this to friends as a Christmas present. It is so easy to use. Much easier than firing up the expresso maker.
All the best,
Lori
