How to choose
Hot foam, cold foam, and warming
Hot foam, cold foam, and plain warming are different jobs. The Instant Pot, Wowteam, Casimhu, and PARIS RHÔNE each make hot and cold foam, while the Bodum heats milk in a 10-ounce jar. The Instant Pot also steams milk, and the Casimhu and Wowteam also heat milk without foaming.
Capacity by job, not by jar
A jar size is not a frothing amount. The Instant Pot and Bodum each hold 10 ounces, the Wowteam froths up to 115 ml and heats up to 240 ml, and the Casimhu heats up to 13.5 ounces and froths up to 5.4 ounces. Compare the frothing figure with the heating figure before choosing, since they differ on the Wowteam and Casimhu.
Cleaning and shutoff
Cleaning differs across this list. The Instant Pot and Bodum parts wash in a dishwasher, while the Wowteam base and outer body must not be submerged or rinsed in water. The Bodum, Wowteam, Casimhu, and PARIS RHÔNE shut off automatically. Check cleaning care and shutoff before choosing.
