How to choose
Compare whisk and foam time
A whisk turns milk into foam, while foam time sets how long you hold the button before foam forms. The SIMPLETASTE froths in 15 to 30 seconds, the Bonsenkitchen in 15 to 20 seconds, and the BASECENT in as fast as 12 seconds. The SIMPLETASTE and Bonsenkitchen use a stainless steel whisk, the BASECENT uses a double steel whisk, and the Zulay uses a triple whisk. Compare the whisk with the foam time for the drinks you make.
Check batteries and stands
Battery type sets which batteries you buy, while a stand sets where the frother rests between uses. The SIMPLETASTE, Bonsenkitchen and Bodum run on 2 AA batteries, the Zulay runs on 4 AA batteries, and the BASECENT runs on 3 AAA batteries. The Bonsenkitchen and Zulay include a stand, and the SIMPLETASTE stands upright on a countertop for storage.
Check hot and cold froth
Hot and cold froth means a frother can foam milk for hot drinks and for cold drinks, without heating the milk itself. The SIMPLETASTE, Bonsenkitchen and BASECENT list hot and cold froth, with the BASECENT also working as a stirrer for hot or cold drinks. The Zulay froths for coffee, lattes and matcha, and the Bodum froths for coffee, lattes, hot chocolate, mocha and cappuccino, so check the drinks list for the pick you choose before you buy.
