How to choose
Handheld wand or heated steamer
Four picks here are handheld wands that froth milk in the cup, while the Ecoflarix is a corded electric steamer that heats and froths in its own 350ml unit. A wand suits a single drink made right in your mug, since it runs on batteries or a rechargeable cell and packs away small. A steamer suits several servings at once, since it warms 350ml and froths 180ml in one run. Pick the shape that matches how many drinks you make at a time.
Speeds and whisks decide versatility
Three picks here offer three speeds. On the Theresduet and Toughwild, low stirs powders and egg yolks, medium handles matcha and jam, and high makes foam and whipped cream. The Theresduet and CIRCLE JOY each include three whisks, a spring head for foam, a balloon head for eggs and cream, and a hook for powders and mixes. The Toughwild includes two whisks, a spring head and a balloon head. Match the whisk count to the drinks and mixes you actually make.
Power source and cleaning
The Zulay runs on 2 AA batteries that come in the box, while the Theresduet, CIRCLE JOY and Toughwild recharge, the CIRCLE JOY on a built-in 1500mAh battery and the Toughwild through USB. The Ecoflarix plugs into a corded electric supply. For cleaning, the whisks rinse under running water with a quick spin, and the wand bodies stay dry, so wipe the handle with a damp cloth instead of soaking it. The Ecoflarix interior rinses under running water and wipes dry with a soft cloth.
