Which makes better hot cappuccino foam?

The Secura. It heats milk to 140°F–160°F and froths automatically, which the Zulay cannot do because it has no heating element.

Is the Secura worth $37 more?

If you drink hot lattes or cappuccinos daily, yes. For cold foam or occasional use, the $7.99 Zulay covers it.

The Zulay, at seconds per drink. The Secura needs 2–3 minutes to froth hot milk and 3–4 minutes to warm it.

The Secura is a corded stainless steel appliance with fewer wear parts. The Zulay depends on AA batteries and a small motor.

Can the Zulay heat milk?

No. It only whisks, so milk stays cold unless you heat it separately.

How much milk does the Secura hold?

250 ml, or 8.4 oz of frothing capacity, roughly two servings.
