MILK FROTHER - MAKE CAPPUCCINO LIKE A PRO

BATTERY OPERATED MILK FROTHER WITH A STAND

Frothy milk is pretty much haute cuisine as far as homemade coffee goes. Top coffee-nerds will have coffee machines with steam nozzles which fire steam through milk both heating and frothing at the same time - the ideal situation. But to the amateur with just a cafetiere and yearning for latte, a simple milk-frother does more or less a similar job. And even a little frothing can produce good results.

As coffee-geek puts it wisely: "Incorporating air into the milk improves and sweetens the taste. Milk that has not been foamed at all tends to taste flat and dull by comparison."

Proper full-on frothing produces this: "microfoam--a pourable, virtually liquid foam that tastes sweet and rich.... The only distinction it has from liquid milk is a soft, slightly spectral sheen in the right light.
