Miroco MI-MF002 Electric Soft Foam Milk Frother

When choosing a milk frother for your home, it’s a good idea to first consider the types of beverages you like to drink. If you are a consistent fan of lattes, you might be able to function with many of the milk frothers on the market today. As long as they prepare a good foam, they can make you a latte of coffeehouse-quality with little effort.

However, if you are a coffee or hot beverage connoisseur, have exacting specifications or like to experiment with different types of café drinks, you should carefully review the features of all the machines you’re considering. Some milk frothers have specific settings for each type of beverage, while others have settings to create certain types of foam, like airy or dense foam.

Is your coffee preparation time early in the morning when other family members are asleep? Do you rely on your afternoon flat white to help you achieve a relaxed state of Zen? If so, you might consider a milk frother with a quiet engine to keep things calm.

Frothing milk can create a sticky mess if it isn’t cleaned up quickly. Nonstick frother containers are easier to clean and simply avoid accumulating a film of milk. Some frother containers are even dishwasher safe for extra convenience.

Where will you be placing your milk frother? If your kitchen or office has a certain décor scheme, you might wish to buy a milk frother with a similar finish. Models are available in stainless steel, or in various colors, like white or black. It’s a snap to find one that matches your style.

• The first step when buying a milk frother is to consider your needs. What drinks will you be making with the appliance? Make sure the settings available can make the drinks you like.
• Use milk with a higher fat content whenever possible. While you can generate a decent foam with skim milk and a motorized frother, it’s likely to fall flat very quickly. Furthermore, it simply can’t achieve the same dense heights as a higher-fat milk.
• Select a milk frother with a pointed spout to allow for artistic pouring and designs in your coffeehouse drinks. If the frother lacks this feature, you might wish to pour very slowly.
• Organic and lactose-free milk often does not froth, due to the pasteurization process it undergoes. If you like (or need) to drink these sorts of milk, buying a milk frother might not be worth it for you.
• Don’t forget about hot chocolate! Coffeehouse drinks that are not made of brewed beans are also delicious when they make use of frothed or steamed milk.
• You can use your milk frother for the preparation of breakfast items like oatmeal. Simply choose the setting that allows for heating milk, but not whipping it into a froth. Some frothers have specific functions to allow for this.
• Wipe down your milk frother with a damp cloth after each use, ensuring it is unplugged before you begin to clean it. Clean the inside of the frothing container per manufacturer instructions.
