A handheld, AA battery-powered frother that makes proper microfoam for flat whites and lattes, rather than stiff, bubbly froth.
Most handheld frothers just whisk air into milk. This one spins a patented impeller inside a fine mesh NanoScreen, which breaks bubbles down into microfoam: small, even bubbles that give milk a glossy, pourable texture you can use for latte art. It runs on two AA batteries and reaches up to 3,000 RPM in milk. Two screens come in the box, the Superfine for a flat white or piccolo and the Fine for a cappuccino.
It suits you if your machine has no steam wand, or you make milk drinks with an AeroPress or moka pot. Heat your milk first, then froth. The shaft and screen mesh are stainless steel, it’s splash resistant and it rinses clean under the tap. A protective hood keeps the head safe in a drawer.
Tip: start with the head near the centre to pull in air, then move it towards the side so the milk spins into a whirlpool. Around 20 seconds is usually enough.
