Frequently Asked Questions

Do milk frothers heat milk?

Most electric milk frothers can froth and heat milk at the same time, while handheld frothers only aerate milk and require pre-heating. Functionality varies by type and brand.

Does a milk frother work with plant-based milk?

Yes, some frothers can work with plant-based milks, though some froths are better than others. Almond milk creates a light foam, while coconut milk is richer but may not hold foam as well.

What’s the difference between a milk frother and a steam wand?

A milk frother aerates milk, creating a thick, foamy texture. A steam wand, typically found on espresso machines, uses pressurized steam to heat and froth milk, producing a smoother microfoam texture used in latte art. However, the steam wand cannot produce cold frothed milk for cold beverages.

Can I froth hot chocolate or other drinks with it?

Yes! Some milk frothers can mix and heat hot chocolate, matcha, or even protein shakes. Just ensure the ingredients dissolve well for a smooth consistency.

What can you do with a milk frother besides froth milk?

Beyond coffee, you can use a milk frother to mix protein shakes, create fluffy scrambled eggs, emulsify salad dressings, and whip up frothy cocktails.
