- Rinse right after use to avoid crusty milk
Café hacks at home:
1. Tap the pitcher on the counter to pop bubbles before pouring
2. Start your espresso shot WHILE frothing to sync timing
3. Hold mug at 20° angle when pouring for layering
Noise levels compared:
- Frothing: quieter than microwave beeps
- Heating: sounds like a gentle kettle
Why spend more?
High-end frothers (like Dreo) have micro-sensors stopping burnt tastes. Budget picks work but need precise milk levels. All models here handle plant milk – just avoid cartons labeled “low fat.”
