Automatic Milk Frother - Is it Better Than Manual?

 There is no doubt! Americans enjoy their coffee and espresso beverages with a creamy, warm milky froth that makes every sip devine. However, how many homes do you go into which have a coffee or espresso maker but no frother? A latte without froth is like having hot chocolate without the marshmallows or eating a grilled cheese sandwich without the cheese. It just shouldn't happen. O.K., perhaps a bit dramatic but you get the jist of what I am saying. The tragedy is in the cup.

Whatever your coffee beverage drinking habits, a good frother can make the sipping experience even more delightful without breaking the budget. So, when you are shopping for a frother, there are three different types for you to consider, an electric or automatic frother, a hand-held frother or a pump frother..

Automatic Frother

This type of frother works best if there is a bit of counter space and you have a few moments for clean-up afterwards. With this type of frother, you get perfectly blended warm froth for all your beverages plus, with most models, you can make sauces and desserts.

Automatic Hand-Held Frother

A handheld frother is great for someone who wants the warm froth but doesn't enjoy the clean-up afterwards. A handheld model will allow someone with a limited budget and a condition which will not allow them to use the hand-pump model, a wonderful frothy product.

Pump Milk Frother

This model does great when there is limited electricity and you may be looking for simplicity. Most pump frothers can be put into a dishwasher or be immersed in water so clean up is a snap!
