Is the Smeg MFF11 worth $249.95?

Only if the retro look matters to you. It froths and heats well, but cheaper frothers make similar foam. At $249.95 at Best Buy as of November 8, 2026, it is at the top of its recent range.

How much milk can it froth at once?

Up to 8.5 fl oz for frothing and 20.3 fl oz for heating only, enough for two large lattes or several hot chocolates.

Does it work on US power?

The listed rating is 240 V, which is not standard US household voltage. Confirm the model is the US version with a 120 V plug before buying.

Can it make hot chocolate?

Yes. It has a heating mode for chocolate and other drinks up to 20.3 fl oz, plus a frothing mode for milk.

The jug and whisk come out for hand washing. Do not put the base or jug in the dishwasher, and use soft tools on the non-stick coating.

Is it cheaper at other stores?

As of November 8, 2026, Best Buy is the only store listing it new at $249.95, so there is no lower new price to compare.

Our take on the Smeg 50's Style MFF11PBUS

The Smeg 50's Style MFF11 is a retro-styled electric milk frother and hot chocolate maker in Smeg's pastel blue finish, with a stainless steel and plastic body. It froths up to 8.5 fl oz and heats up to 20.3 fl oz, so it handles one or two large lattes or a round of hot chocolate. It is a design piece first: the price is high for a frother, and at $249.95 at Best Buy as of November 8, 2026 it sits at the top of its recent range, with only one store listing it new.
