How to choose
Warm and cold foam modes
Warm dense foam, warm light foam and cold foam are different modes, not different machines. The SIMPLETASTE, Rafow, Secura and Wowteam each make warm and cold foam, while the Mixpresso whips hot foam and heats milk. Check the mode list for each pick before buying, since cold foam is a separate mode from heated milk. Match the modes to the drinks you make each day.
Capacity for heating and frothing
Heating capacity and frothing capacity are different numbers on these picks. The SIMPLETASTE warms up to 240 ml (8.1 oz) and froths up to 115 ml (3.8 oz). The Secura heats 8.1 oz (240 ml) and froths 3.9 oz (115 ml), while the Wowteam warms up to 240 ml (8.2 oz) and froths up to 115 ml (3.9 oz). The Mixpresso has 9.4 oz of heating capacity and 6 oz of frothing capacity. Compare the frothing number, not the heating number, when you judge how much foam one batch makes.
Auto shutoff and cleaning
Auto shutoff stops the frother at a set temperature or when frothing is done. The SIMPLETASTE stops at 149°F, the Rafow and Wowteam shut off at 60°C to 65°C, and the Secura and Mixpresso list auto shutoff. For cleaning, the SIMPLETASTE has a non-stick interior coating and a detachable base, the Rafow and Secura include a cleaning brush, and the Wowteam wipes clean with a damp cloth. Check the care instructions for each pick before buying.
