How to choose
Compare froth and heating capacity
Froth capacity is smaller than heating capacity on several picks: the SIMPLETASTE froths up to 8.45 ounces and heats 500 ml, the Nespresso froths up to 4.1 ounces and heats up to 8.1 ounces, the Instant froths up to 8.5 ounces and heats up to 17 ounces, and the AMZCHEF froths 300 ml and heats 600 ml. Compare the froth figure when you mostly make foam, and the heating figure when you mostly warm milk.
Count modes and settings
Modes count the drink options: the SIMPLETASTE offers 4 modes on one knob, the Nespresso offers 2 settings, the Instant offers 9 combinations from temperature and froth settings, and the AMZCHEF offers 8 functions on one knob. The Casimhu offers 4-in-1 modes from a single button. Match the count to how many drinks you make, and check whether hot and cold foam both appear.
Check cleaning and shutoff
Cleaning differs: the SIMPLETASTE jug, the Nespresso frother, the Instant pitcher, lid, and whisk, and the AMZCHEF jug go in the dishwasher, while the Casimhu calls for hand washing. For shutoff, the SIMPLETASTE, Nespresso, Instant, and Casimhu switch off automatically, and the AMZCHEF enters standby after 60 seconds of inactivity. Check the care line for each pick before you buy.
