WHAT IS A MILK FROTHER

A milk frother is an appliance that supplements your coffee brewing process. You know when you buy a premium coffee from Starbucks or any coffee shop around the corner, that you wanna lick the milk away. We can’t do that at home without that advice.

Frothing milk is simply adding air to create a foamy texture. Think about a cappuccino and you’ll smile right away ;)!

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FROTHING AND HEATING MILK

It’s handy to talk about these 2 things as for most people, they’re the same: upgrading your milk to something foamy right?

Frothing milk is the act of adding air to the milk. By doing this you’ll get bubbles on top and because of that foam. The amount of foam is usually larger.

Steaming milk is done by heating water into steam and it’s pushed into the machine. You see this feature mostly with espresso machines (automatic coffee machines) as there’s a steam wand included. Steaming means you’re heating the milk longer. There’s less foam involved.

TYPES OF MILK FROTHERS

As with most coffee equipment, there are different types and standards when it comes to milk frothers. We divide them into manual milk frothers and automatic (electric) milk frothers. We don’t include steam wands because we regard them as something else. They’re not the same thing.

MANUAL MILK FROTHERS

These are frothers that are driven with batteries. Some of them have a built-in rechargeable battery, others rely on 2 AA batteries. With these things, you’ll need to practice and hone your skills. By moving up and down you can push air into your milk. These appliances can help your kids to drink more milk. Love those coffee-making moments with them. Who can make the most foam ;)?

Pros:

They are usually cheap and can be used for other small jobs in the kitchen (making sauces, whisking eggs…). Detachable whisks are easy to clean.

Cons:

Batteries run dry and need to be replaced from time to time: recurring costs. These things can’t control the temperature of your milk and it depends heavily on the skills of the user.

AUTOMATIC MILK FROTHERS

These are powered by electricity and don’t rely on batteries. These machines have more features like heating your milk (temperature control) and giving you control and consistency.

Pros:

Automatic machines improve your control and thus consistency in doing the job and getting the result you want: a lot of foam! They’re also easy to use and come with clear instructions and some nice extra features like temperature control.

Cons:

Portability is lower. You can’t take it with you as easily compared to their manual counterparts. You can easily put it away in the cabinet. The capacity isn’t that large, but normally the time needed makes up for this. They might be a bit more difficult to maintain and clean.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A MILK FROTHER

#1. Price

A classic one in our list of features. Milk frothers as separate appliances won’t cost you very much. When you decide to buy the handheld ones that rely on batteries, please take the recurrent costs of replacing them into account. When you invest in electric ones, think about the features it needs to have (temperature control?). All in all, you won’t lose a lot of money if you decide to go for a pricier one. How much are you willing to pay for consistently creating foam?

#2. Type

This one is correlated of course with the price. Handheld ones start from below $10 even! They’re ideal to start with and get your kids more into milk. Expensive ones have more features like temperature control that will speed up your process and reduce your time so you can use it for other things. The downsides of electric ones are that they are larger and have lower portability. They’re also a bit more difficult to clean.

#3. Size

All in all, milk frothers won’t take a lot of space into your kitchen and can be put away easily. Size is a classic in our list but not key here according to us.

#4. Style

If you’re looking for coffee gear that’s an eye-catcher in your kitchen, this might be important. Do you want a nice industrial look or not? This might not be very important if you’re just looking for a functional tool. We’d say it’s the latter because there’s other coffee gear that can stand out better (think about grinders, gooseneck kettles, and so on…).

#5. Maintenance

The handheld or manual milk frothers are usually easier to clean and maintain because of the detachable whisks. Their electric counterparts require a bit more work to clean and maintain but it doesn’t change that much, to be honest. All in all, they’re quite easy to maintain. We say that’s part of the attitude of the one who’s using them.

#6. Portability

If you’re someone that’s a lot on the road and traveling, you might prefer the handled ones because they’re cordless. The electric ones are a bit more complicated but mostly they won’t weigh much more. They of course have a cord and thus aren’t suited for all traveling situations.

#7. Features

Does it need to do more than just froth your milk? Do you want preset settings, do you want multiple speed levels? Do you want to heat up or cool down your milk?

The more features you’ll have, the higher the price and all will be. As we’ve said before, you won’t break the bank by doing so.

F.A.Q.

HOW DO I CHOOSE A MILK FROTHER?

We suggest you look at the size and body of your milk frother. We want something that lasts for quite some time. Take a look at the sturdiness of your frother. There are of course other things you can consider like price, style, size, type, maintenance, portability… But as these things don’t cost a lot (manual ones), we suggest you look at the size and body first.

IS IT WORTH BUYING A MILK FROTHER?

First of all: a big yes. It’s always nice to have one of these at home for upgrading your coffee experience or other brewing experiences. This is a matter of convenience. I like a good cup of coffee from the local Starbucks or coffee shop, but these things cost a lot of money so if you’re a hardcore coffee drinker, go for one!

CONCLUSION

We all agree now that having a milk frother at home is a great investment to upgrade your coffee experience. There are different types available like manual and automatic ones. We at Golden Sin think that you won’t do wrong with the manual one of Zulay. If you’re more in favor of a more automatic one, we suggest the one from Nest Living. If that won’t suit you and you want to invest in a top-tier milk frother, you can go for the Breville BMF600X.

Enjoy your coffee!
