How to choose

Frothing capacity versus heating capacity

Some picks give separate frothing and heating figures, while others give a single capacity or fill lines by drink. Wowteam and SIMPLETASTE froth up to 115 ml and heat up to 240 ml, while Huogary froths up to 3.71 oz and heats up to 8.11 oz. Keurig fills to 6 oz for lattes and 4 oz for cappuccinos. Compare the frothing figure, not the heating figure, with the amount of foam you want for each drink.

Hot foam, cold foam, and heating

A frother with hot and cold modes covers more drinks than a heater alone. Wowteam, SIMPLETASTE, Keurig and PARIS RHÔNE have hot and cold froth, and each has auto shutoff. Wowteam and SIMPLETASTE use four modes, with warm dense foam, warm airy foam, cold foam and milk heating. Keurig uses two frothing options, hot frothing and cold frothing. Match the modes with the drinks you make at home.

Cleaning and daily upkeep

Cleaning varies by pick, so check the care notes before you buy. Keurig hand washes with a removable whisk, and PARIS RHÔNE rinses with running water before wiping dry. Wowteam wipes clean with a damp cloth, and SIMPLETASTE has a non-stick interior coating with a detachable base. Huogary wipes clean with a cloth, with the bottom kept out of contact with water. Follow the care notes for the pick you choose.
