Trending now
If you’re a coffee drinker, it’s likely that you’ve seen milk frothers next to coffee makers, machines and brewers. Milk frothers are small, convenient tools that can help take your coffee (and any other creamy beverage) to the next level by frothing and sometimes warming your creamer. You can use frothers at home, in the office and anywhere in between. Learn more about them below.
What Are Milk Frothers and Why Do You Need One?
Nothing is worse than craving a latte or cappuccino when your favorite spot is closed. Luckily, you can use a milk frother to make your favorite beverage in the comfort of your home. Milk frothers are electrically or manually operated kitchen tools and gadgets that spin air into milk or other liquid until it turns into foam so that you can add it to your drink of choice. While frothing machines have been around for decades, they exploded in popularity over the last couple of years from their exposure on popular social media platforms.
With frothers, you can recreate your favorite frothed drink whenever your cravings kick in and save time and money by simply recreating your favorite drink you would usually order somewhere else. Or, if you want to experiment at home, using a milk frother can give a new spin on old-fashioned drinks. Adding a layer of foamy milk froth makes the texture of the drink richer and creates a new taste experience.
What Are the Features of Frother Machines?
Milk frothers are the perfect tool for a cappuccino, latte, macchiato, hot chocolate or iced coffee. Whether you’re craving a hot drink or a cold refresher, milk frothing machines work for both hot and cold liquids.
Automatic frothers provide hands-free operation and run on electricity. They include a carafe, a power base and a frothing disk or coil. Milk frother wands are simple electric mixers that create a vortex and inject air into the milk, giving it a rich, foamed texture. Some milk frothers have heating features that allow you to reheat cold beverages with ease. Most frothers also have nonstick coating that prevents milk and other liquids from burning or scorching, so clean-up is easy.
What Else Can You Use a Frothing Machine For?
When it comes to frothers, the possibilities are endless. For those looking to create the perfect coffee drink, you can use your frother to mix milk and your favorite flavors to make your own coffee creamer. This is a great way to create your own custom flavors. Another advantage to milk frother wands is that because they’re small hand mixers, they can also beat eggs or whip cream in small batches.
