Best milk frothers

Top pick: Keurig K-Froth Hot and Cold Café Frother. It's the one to buy if you want café-style foam without thinking about it — automatic, heats and froths hot or cold, stainless steel, and it shuts itself off. Best for lattes, cappuccinos and iced drinks alike.

Who the others suit:

• Zulay Electric Handheld Milk Frother — the everyday workhorse: quick foam for a single cup, no heating, easiest to clean and store.
• Odiforgo Gen 2 Rechargeable — cordless and waterproof, so it's the one for travel, camping or a small kitchen.
• Zulay Premium All-In-One — a step up from a plain whisk if you want a sturdier handheld.
• Gwen Studios handheld — the budget starter for someone who just wants foam on one coffee a day.

Skip anything that doesn't heat milk if you're after hot foam — a handheld only whips cold milk.
