People who love coffee need Dunelm's £15 gadget that 'saves a fortune'
The kitchen appliance is a must-have for any coffee lover and is now half price while stocks last
In the face of expensive takeaway coffees, now averaging above £3.35, savvy shoppers are turning into at-home baristas to save a few pounds in the bank balance without sacrificing their daily caffeine fix. Luckily, Dunelm has an affordable offer on a must-have item for any coffee lover.
Originally on the shelves for £30, Dunelm's Milk Frother with 4 Functions is now only £15 - half its usual price - while stocks last. It's part of the bargain sale happening at Dunelm, where prices have been slashed across a range of household items, ensuring coffee drinkers needn't miss out on a barista-style brew at home.
Swap out the café queues and make your very own foamy delights right in your kitchen with this nifty tool's four different settings - be it hot and thick or cool foam you're after. The wireless feature makes it even easier to set up at your at-home coffee station.
Dunelm claimed online: "Embrace the art of frothy beverages with our Milk Frother, a modern marvel designed to perfection. Its stainless steel interior ensures durability and easy cleaning, whilst the plastic exterior adds a contemporary flair."
Whilst there's a variety of milk frothers available on the internet, such as the Panana Milk Frother from Amazon for £15.99 or Argos' Salter Chocolatier Milk Frother and Hot Chocolate Maker at £40, Dunelm's version is proving popular, reports Belfast Live.
Shoppers are praising the Dunelm deal, with nearly 50 reviews, including many that give a perfect five-star score. One said: "It makes the best hot chocolates, coffee and foamed milk!"
And, another shared: "This little mini kettle is fab for making frothy, creamy milk for the top of your hot and cold coffee. It makes your at-home coffee feel extra special whenever you like!"
Somebody else added: "A very quiet, quick machine, extremely easy to operate. We've been able to make lovely lattes using the frothy milk from this machine to add to cafetiere coffee and syrup.
"The money it has saved us on trips to Costa/Starbucks is incredible - and the lattes taste just as good. So much better than a coffee machine with its expensive pods that only makes one cup at a time."
However, not everyone found Dunelm's machine to be a great purchase. Some customers mentioned that the milk may "burn on the bottom" which led to the device becoming "hard to clean" whilst a couple of people found that it struggled to produce a "decent foam" when using non-dairy alternatives like oat or soya milk.
But, an happier customer posted: "This is the best [money] I've ever spent. It's like going to the coffee shop but much cheaper!" Another wrote: "Easy to use and now I can enjoy lovely creamy coffee at home without spending a fortune at coffee shops. Very good value for money."
There was another comment claiming: "This saves me a fortune on takeaway coffees!" And, a fourth added: "Excellent item, froths and heats milk much better than my previous one."

The 15 happiest places to live in America
Reno, Nevada , has been named the happiest place to live in America, chosen as an reformative and affordable 'modern boomtown' with fair weather and creative outlets year round. The city was chosen by Outside , based on factors including overall well-being, public land and affordability, and climate change and inclusivity. Millions of surveys were scoured to assess the best urban areas in the US for well-being, before the researchers looked at house and rental prices and general walkability. Reno was ultimately judged the best in class, undertaking massive transformations to become more inclusive and accessible, attracting major companies like Amazon and Tesla without losing sight of its local arts and crafts culture. Remo placed above Wilmington, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Charlottesville , Hood River, Minneapolis, Glenwood Springs, Harrisburg and Plano to clinch the top spot among regions with a population between 5,000 and 500,000. Reno, Nevada: Population: 273,448. Median house price: $550,000. Percentage parkland: 5 percent. Outside described Reno as a 'modern boomtown', bustling with green, open spaces, climbing gyms and a summer arts festival as part of a local revival. The outlet noted 'ample public land and mountain vibe' in its decision to award the city the top spot in the rankings. With a new bike trail attracting cyclists, and nearby Lake Tahoe welcoming in skiers, the city has enough adventure for locals and tourists year-round, making it a go-to destination inclusive of all. Wilmington, Delaware: Population: 71,569. Median house price: $255,000. Percentage parkland: 6.8 percent. Well-connected Wilmington neighbors Philadelphia, New York City, Baltimore and Washington D.C., offering walkability and community to residents. Delaware's largest city is built at the meeting point of the Christina River and Brandywine Creek, and has had its riverfront revitalized in recent years. Wilmington boasts nearly 70 parks, including the 178-acre Brandywine Park and the Alapocas Run, a 415-acre space filled with hiking and biking trails. Outside reports that the city has an inclusive local culture, with LGBTQ+ community leader Dinea Elliott Collins saying: 'When I travel to other parts of the country, I realize how safe and comfortable I feel in Wilmington.' New Orleans, Louisiana: Population: 369,749. Median house price: $360,000. Percentage parkland: 23 percent. Some 80 per cent of residents in New Orleans live within a ten-minute walk of a park, making the city one of the most attractive for residents who enjoy outdoor spaces. Culturally, the city has many attractions bringing visitors each year - from the colonial-era French Quarter to St Charles Avenue and Magazine Street's rows of antique shops. New Orleans remains one of the country's most-visited cities for its deep and complex history, preserving its past in a number of significant museums. In 2016, the city was also ranked the best in the US for live music, cocktail hour and cheap eats - but last for safety. Outside references the city's culture and cuisine, friendliness towards LQBTQ+ people and 'underrated' green spaces in awarding it third place. Cincinnati, Ohio: Population: 309,513. Median house price: $272,750. Percentage parkland: 17 percent. In the late 1800s, Cincy was dubbed the 'Paris of America', due to ambitious architectural projects that still line the streets of its urban center. Developed as a river town for shipping, the city remains an industralized hub with a large economy attractive to large employers and a quaint market pavilion for merchants to sell local produce. It also remains one of the greenest, with 88 per cent of residents living ten-minutes from a park - and a temperate climate ensuring beautiful year-round vistas to be found in the city's 365 parks and recreation areas. Benefitting from large-scale immigration from Germany in the 1840s, the city also benefits from a rich brewing tradition and has more than 80 organizations still making local beer - surely pushing it up the rankings for happiest places to live. Charlottesville, Virginia: Population: 45,373. Median house price: $456,000. Percentage parkland: 10 percent. The independent city of Charlottesville is much smaller than most of its competitors but boasts the same balance of work opportunities and scenic getaways shared by the country's happiest. Outside notes the city's local University of Virginia has given Charlottesville a 'vibrant startup culture', with high rates of graduates and low unemployment. The city's commercial district, The Corner, also provides Charlottesville with a number of college bars and restaurants, as well as a considerable nightlife scene. Around the city, a 20-mile trail offers hikers and bikers a picturesque loop lined with places beautiful riverside spaces, and a number of breweries are 'scattered throughout the surrounding countryside', according to Outside.

The small town of Hood River is noted for its rich outdoors activities, leading with a 'vast network' of trails and spaces to surf the Columbia River. The town is only an hour east of Portland and remains connected to local hubs, but retains an independent presence and rich local food scene helped by its rural farms. While rents are a little higher than in other happy cities, Hood River has taken steps to build new developments for residents on lower incomes. The city is also taking strides towards reflecting ambitions of racial and social equity in policymaking. Minneapolis, Minnesota: Population: 425,096. Median house price: $340,000.

The city is also noted for its investment into low-income neighborhoods and its 'excellent' hospitals.

The police department has reportedly undergone a number of reforms in the years since. Glenwood Springs, Colorado: Population: 10,264. Median house price: $726,720. Percentage parkland: 2 percent.

The town is situated in the Rocky Mountains at the meeting point of the Roaring Fork River and the Colorado River, creating stunning vistas. Since the 1980s, coordinated investment has transformed the town's geography to better accommodate hikers and cyclists, building modern trails and reducing congestion in the center. The region's newfound popularity has, however, pushed up housing costs - which officials are looking to tackle with new affordable housing projects. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: Population: 50,183. Median house price: $176,000. Percentage parkland: 8 percent. The Pennsylvania capital has long been a desirable destination for young families with affordable housing and vibrant cultural outlets.
