How to choose
Presets, power and froth time
Presets set the froth for a drink type, while a manual setting leaves control to you. The Keurig has presets for latte and cappuccino plus a manual setting, while the SIMPLETASTE runs on one press and the Bean Envy on one button. Power differs too: the Keurig and the CIRCLE JOY recharge by USB, while the SIMPLETASTE, Zulay and Bean Envy run on 2 AA batteries. Froth time differs as well: the SIMPLETASTE whips a cup in 15 to 30 seconds, and the CIRCLE JOY whips foam in as little as 20 seconds.
Cups, whisks and stands
A frothing cup sets how much you froth at once, and a whisk sets the texture. The Keurig pairs a microwave frothing cup with a 12-fluid-ounce capacity, and the Bean Envy works in any cup or mug. Whisk types differ: the SIMPLETASTE and Bean Envy use stainless steel whisks, and the CIRCLE JOY uses a double-spring whisk head. Stands differ too: the SIMPLETASTE, Zulay and Bean Envy include stands, and the CIRCLE JOY includes a storage tube.
Cleaning and storage
Cleanup differs by model, so check the care instructions before ordering. The Keurig cup and whisk go in the dishwasher, while the SIMPLETASTE handle must not go in water and the Zulay, Bean Envy and CIRCLE JOY wash by hand. For storage, the SIMPLETASTE, Zulay and Bean Envy sit on stands, and the CIRCLE JOY fits a storage tube.
