How to choose
Hot and cold froth
The Nespresso, SIMPLETASTE, Puldoum and Casimhu make both hot and cold froth. If you drink iced coffee, cold froth matters more than jar size. The Nespresso switches between hot and cold with one second or two seconds of button pressure, while the SIMPLETASTE, Puldoum and Casimhu use modes or a single button.
Jar size and foam capacity
Jar size and foam capacity differ, so check both numbers. The Nespresso foams 4.1 oz and warms 8.1 oz, while the SIMPLETASTE foams 4.4 oz and warms 10.1 oz. The Bodum jar holds 10 oz, the Puldoum holds 350 ml, and the Casimhu holds 10.6 oz. A larger jar suits back-to-back drinks, while a smaller jar suits one cup at a time.
Cleaning and controls
Cleaning differs across this list. The Nespresso and Bodum have parts that go in the dishwasher, while the SIMPLETASTE and Casimhu call for hand washing. The Puldoum cup has a non-stick coating you clean with a soft brush and soapy water. For controls, the Nespresso uses one-touch pressure and the Casimhu uses a single button. The Puldoum alone adds a digital display.
