1. Best Overall: Lavazza A Modo Mio Milk Easy Frother

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Has different foam settings
  • Froths vegan milk well

Cons

  • Whisk is delicate

For all your milk-based drinks, from flat white to hot chocolate, this easy frother by Lavazza is an instant crowd-pleaser among reviewers. Shaped like a portable tumbler, the lightweight gadget froths 120ml of milk and can heat 180ml of the beverage in the same container. Plug it in, pour in some milk and press the multifunctional button to get the magnetic induction going to prepare your drinks. It even froths your choice of plant-based milk.

2. Best for Non-Coffee Beverages: IMONS Milk Frothing Machine

Pros

  • Makes hot chocolate
  • Non-stick pitcher
  • Heats milk
  • Whisks cold foam
  • Prevents milk from burning

Cons

  • Doesn't heat milk past 60°C

The all-black IMONS machine is composed of a non-stick pitcher and a tall heater base. It prepares 150ml of hot and cold foam, and 300ml of hot milk for latte, cappuccino and tea. This includes hot chocolate, as well, which you can whip up directly in the pitcher - just fill it with water or milk, spoon in your chocolate powder and press the dedicated button. Voilà! Your cup of restaurant-like hot chocolate is ready. To prevent milk burns, the machine never heats past the 60°C mark. This could be a dealbreaker for some, who like their hot beverages quite hot. But, reviews are impressed with how easy it is to clean the frother, with the pitcher being dishwasher-safe and non-stick.

3. Best Budget: Premvio Original Milk Frother with Stand

Pros

  • Handheld electric whisk gives you more control
  • Value for money
  • Easy to rinse

  • Cannot heat milk

Froth right into your coffee cup with a handheld, battery-operated whisk to save counter space. Premvio’s frother is convenient for travels, too, with its wireless operation making it an easy companion on the road. The electric milk whisk washes quickly under running water and sits in its own stand when not in use. Coffee lovers in the reviews have made second purchases for their office pantry as well.

4. Best for Family: Smeg Retro 50's Style Automatic Milk Frother

Pros

  • Keeps milk from burning
  • Attractive design and sturdy quality
  • Large capacity

The steamer smartly heats up 500ml of milk without burning and creates foam from 250ml of milk – all in under 90 seconds! The Smeg automatic frother is fashioned to fit in a retro kitchen, coming in colours black, pastel blue and cream, besides our choice of red.

5. Best for Travel: Melitta Cremio 2 Milk Frother Steamer

Pros

  • Prepares hot and cold froth
  • Tumbler convenience
  • Suitable for solo travellers
  • Easy to clean

Cons

  • Serves few people
  • Wired

Melitta’s Cremio 2 works well for both hot and cold frothed milk, as long as you plan to serve two cups in one go. It makes 150ml of froth and heats up 250ml of milk in a stainless steel tumbler unit that looks a lot like an electric water kettle. But no matter how hot the beverage gets, the surface will always remain cool to touch, so your milk goes straight into the cup from the steamer. If finding a plug point is not an issue, then Cremio 2 is an easy carry-along for camping trips with a cable winding base.

Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh23 and two years for Dh33.
