What to consider before buying

Drink style

Choose a steamer or electric frother for hot drinks, and confirm it supports the texture you want for cold foam.

Capacity

Milk expands as it aerates. A larger jug is useful for multiple drinks, but smaller batches can be easier to control.

Cleanup

Detachable, easy-to-rinse parts can make the difference between using a frother regularly and leaving it in a cupboard.

Pair it with a recipe

Try your frother with our cold foam coffee recipe or use it to build a creamy latte at home.
