Do you wish you could recreate those perfectly frothy coffees you buy from your favourite café yourself at home? Maybe you’re looking to level up your hot chocolates or give your lattes a bit more punch. The gadgets we’re diving into can handle all that and more, and with coffee obsession at an all-time high, now’s a great time to find the best milk frother for your setup.
But first, a little advice from the pros – in this case Esther-Hope Gibbs, founder of Hope Espresso. “Most milk frothers are designed for whole milk,” says Esther. “Due to the high content of fat, they’re much easier to texturise, and the heat and the foam will always hold better for longer periods of time. With skimmed and alternative milks, it’s harder to get a nice texture, so it’s often worth investing a bit of extra money. For plant milks, always buy the barista-style milks, as they have added proteins and fats which allow them to hold the texture better. Regular plant milks won't give you the same result and will often curdle in your coffee too.”
