How to choose
Hot froth, cold froth, or both
Hot froth suits lattes and cappuccinos, while cold froth suits iced coffee drinks. The Rafow, PARIS RHÔNE, and LIFEGETTER each make hot and cold froth, so check whether a unit covers both before you choose. A handheld wand froths milk already in your cup, which suits a quick single drink.
Capacity and drink size
Capacity figures differ between foam and heated milk, so compare the figure for the drink you make most. The LIFEGETTER froths up to 160 ml for foam, while the PARIS RHÔNE has a 240 ml capacity and the Rafow has a 300 ml capacity. A larger foam figure suits back-to-back drinks, while a smaller unit suits one cup at a time.
Cleaning and upkeep
A non-stick interior wipes clean after use, and a cleaning brush helps with residue in a steamer jug. The Rafow includes a cleaning brush, and the LIFEGETTER includes a cleaning brush, a power supply base, and two spring whisks. For a handheld wand, only the whisk head goes into water, so keep the handle and battery parts dry.
FAQ
Can one frother make both hot and cold foam?
Yes. The Rafow, PARIS RHÔNE, and LIFEGETTER each make hot and cold froth, with automatic shutoff when the milk or foam is ready.
What is the difference between a steamer frother and a handheld wand?
A steamer frother heats and froths milk in the unit, while a handheld wand whisks milk in a cup you already have.

Look for hot froth modes and a capacity that covers your cup size. The Rafow gives dense hot froth and thin hot froth, the LIFEGETTER gives 3 hot foam styles, and the Zulay gives 3 speeds with 3 whisk attachments for control over foam texture.
Which frothers here are rechargeable?
The Zulay charges through USB-C from a 500mAh rechargeable battery, and the Maestri charges through USB-C from a 1200mAh rechargeable battery. The Rafow runs on corded electric power instead.
