baby brezza formula pro

The Baby Brezza Formula Pro is a revolutionary piece of technology. Everyone loves the Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep Machine, but this is the real deal. I like to think of the Perfect Prep Machine as a kettle and the Formula Pro as the coffee maker. Storing and mixing the formula powder, after a few uses it will go from a luxury to a necessity.

Bottles Suitable for any bottle brand and size, narrow or wide neck. The typical 2-10 oz bottle are filled by adjusting the base. This lets you make the perfect amount of milk for baby and none to be wasted by over or under making amounts. The bottles are made to a near body temperature, so baby can be fed straight away. The formula is also perfectly mixed and dispensed to the perfect consistency with minimal air bubbles. Most bottles will be completely mixed and additional shaking.

water warmer The water is warmed to the side of the unit. Capable of storing 50 oz of water, Heated to near body temperature and a large opening mean it is very practical. The opening allows for easier cleaning and filling.

control panel All of the controls are centralised and very easy to understand. Plug in your Formula Pro and wait for the temperature gauge to stay solid. This indicates that the water is fully heated. Next select your bottle size - 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 oz - and hit start. The bottle will be made within 30 seconds, an incredible speed. If your funnel is not correctly inserted a red light will indicate this.

formula storage The formula storage is airtight for a whopping 700 g of formula powder. Compatible with most formula powder brands, it is very practical. 5 internal fans ensure a smooth and consistent bottle, minimising the amount of air bubbles. The storage can also be easily removed for cleaning. I recommend cleaning the Formula Pro every 6-8 weeks. Once cleaned it should be left for a day to naturally dry, to prevent any cloggage.
