Is it worth buying a milk frother?
Whether you are an avid coffee consumer, or you enjoy a cup from time to time, a good quality milk frother can make an okay cup an excellent cup. For those of us who enjoy a caffeinated drink every morning, then yes, we do recommend investing in a milk frother. Instead of opting for a flat white or long black in the morning, using a milk frother offers a much more exciting realm of possibilities – cappuccinos, creamy lattes and so much more.
What to look for when buying a milk frother?
When it comes to shopping for a milk frother for your home, there are a couple of things to consider:
Capacity and size
Most automatic milk frothers are large enough in size to make two cups of coffee. So, if you are making a coffee for a group then the automatic milk frother may be the more convenient option. Alternatively, for those who more commonly make a singular coffee, the hand held frother would be sufficient.
Motor power and speed
Typically a milk frother operating between 200 to 400 watts will offer sufficient speed for optimal milk froth.
Battery size
Though automatic milk frothers operate via outlet connection, the hand held machine is powered by battery. Depending on your preference, choose between solely battery powered or battery and chargeable milk frothers.
