What the testers found
Both testers rate it below the Milk Cafe overall, but TechGearLab found better microfoam from it: "If you are looking for an affordably priced appliance to texture and heat at the same time, this frother is hard to beat." Its cons: "Pitcher leaks, doesn't heat milk as hot as we'd like." Reviewed found it froths dairy and plant milks well but slowly. It makes about half as much at a time as the Breville and has three heat settings instead of a temperature dial.
