Product Information

They make this milk frother in 80 different colours, apparently, although at the time of writing, there are 36 colours available. I nearly wrote “only”, but I then realised that to plop the word “only” in front of 36 when exclaiming how many colours this is currently available in, would be a bit daft.

So you're looking for the best milk frother, eh? Well, I've got good news for you, because this post is all about the best milk frothers, and I've written it, which means it's worth reading ;-). Whether you're wanting stiff foam for old school cappuccino, “silky milky” microfoam for velvety flat whites, or anywhere in between, I think you'll find this best milk frothers post to be enlightening. Versatile– It can be used to perfect the topping on indulgent cappuccinos, luxurious hot chocolates, and creamy milkshakes. Saving Money, because if you buy the coffee pods that come with milk pods, you're paying a small fortune for some powdered milk (Dolce Gusto) or liquid milk creamer (Tassimo) so if you stop buying those and use fresh milk in a milk frother then it will be MUCH cheaper. So if you want a “new age” cappuccino, or “third wave” cappuccino, then just focus on producing smaller bubbles, by introducing less air, but do it for longer than you would if you were wanting a flat white, and what you should end up with is a stiff dense foam which piles up into a mountain on the top of your coffee.

If you're undecided about purchasing a milk frother, there is another way to achieve frothy cappuccino milk using a cafetiere. We tested it out.

We bought the most popular milk frothers and hot chocolate makers and put each through these tests. Frothing Steaming is done with a steam wand, putting milk in a jug, and inserting a steam wand – usually, although not always, attached to an espresso machine. Just to clarify, as per the comment from Andrew below, I'd suggest heating the milk in the Bodum frother, and then frothing, not the other way around, because the bubbles will be bursting while it's heating. Ideally, you want to pour as soon as you've frothed. If you've used a standard sharp spout in the past, the spout on these are a bit different, but I really like them. The handle is also slightly different, and it'll take some getting used to if you've used a more standard handle, but whatever jug you get, you'll need to get used to pouring with it, as there are so many different types of milk jugs with different spouts and different handle positions and styles.

Dualit didn't do that, they had the guts (I was going to say the balls, but this is a family blog) to take up the challenge. It's no surprise that Andrew James has a milk frother, I don't know who this Andrew James fella is, but he has a LOT of stuff! ;-). Cortado is a small espresso-based intense milky (around 3-4 ounces or 85 – 120ml) with somewhere along the lines of 1:1.5 – 1:2 espresso/milk, with a very small amount of foam, usually served in what is referred to as a cortado glass. So, if you're after tight microfoam and decent creaminess, then cow's milk is the way to go. However, if you like the sweetness that comes with oat milk and plentiful froth, then oat is a great alternative. Is the Velvetiser the same as a milk frother?
