      How to choose

      Battery type and what comes in the box

      Battery frothers run on AAA or AA cells, so check the cell size and count before you buy. The VOMELON runs on 3 AAA batteries, included, and the BASECENT runs on 3 AAA batteries. The SIMPLETASTE and Bonsenkitchen run on 2 AA batteries, and the Bonsenkitchen includes its 2 AA batteries. The ALPSPEAKS runs on 2 AA batteries, not included, so add cells to your order if you pick it.

      Froth time and whisk design

      Froth time states how long the whisk needs to turn milk into foam. The BASECENT froths in 12 seconds, the VOMELON in 15 seconds or less, the Bonsenkitchen in 15 to 20 seconds, and the SIMPLETASTE in 15 to 30 seconds. Whisk count shapes the foam too: the VOMELON and BASECENT use 2 whisks or a double whisk, while the SIMPLETASTE, Bonsenkitchen and ALPSPEAKS use a single stainless steel whisk.

      Cleaning and storage

      Cleaning and storage decide how much work follows each cup. The ALPSPEAKS whisk rinses in a cup of water, and its tube-style cover stores the handle section for travel. The Bonsenkitchen stand holds its frother upright, and the SIMPLETASTE stands upright on the countertop.
