Milk Frothers are weird. Or maybe milk is...

Our household has recently obtained one of these and we've discovered an interesting thing:
The amount of froth you get depends very much on where you get the milk from.
We'd been looking at getting one for a while -![[personal profile]](http://web.archive.org./web/20160909192305im_/http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
matgb for his coffee, and me for my sinister milky drinks - but were reasonably puzzled that pretty much every one had wildly variant reviews. We think this explains it. And we probably never would have noticed were it not for the fact that we tend to pick up milk ad hoc from whichever shop we happen to be in. So far we have tried Tesco's, Sainsbury's and Jack Fulton's. Tesco's is RUBBISH for frothing, Sainsbury's is pretty good, and Fulton's is better.
I now have the urge to try ALL the milks LOL.
Anyway, if you've got yourself a milk frother* and it's not frothing as you expect, try getting your milk from a different shop.**
* if you haven't buy the Hostess one they've got on offer in Debenhams at the minute - it's really easy to use and clean, and it's made in Hipperholme so you're funding much needed employment in my patch
**other possible solutions include making sure you rinse properly after washing it, because washing up liquid residue will affect frothing too.
