Milk frothers reviewed for home coffee preparation

Various milk frothing devices are being highlighted for home use, ranging from budget-friendly handheld models to more versatile electric options.

The CIRCLE JOY Portable Milk Frother is a compact, handheld device featuring a stainless steel whisk designed for creating foam for lattes and cappuccinos. It is available via Amazon at a discounted price.

The Lavazza MilkEasy Plus offers more advanced functionality, including four specific settings: hot milk, foamed milk, hot cappuccino, and cold cappuccino. Testing indicates it performs well with both dairy and plant-based milks, though users may find the fill markings difficult to read and the lack of a handle slightly inconvenient during pouring.
