On lazy afternoons, sometimes I just want to stay at home comfortably and drink coffee. There are so many coffee machines on the market that you and I, who are not professional baristas, can also make coffee close to the coffee shop level at home!

If you like espresso-based coffee such as lattes and cappuccinos, you must have milking tools to make mellow, smooth coffee. Do not know the different milk foam machines on the market, how effective is the milk foam?

Zaobao.sg tests three types of foam machines on the market-the popular foam machines on all online shopping platforms, the tiny IKEA foam bar, and the Nespresso Creatista Plus coffee machine with milking function.

After coffee-loving videographer and editor Xinwei Xiao tried them out to make lattes, she said that her favorite was Nespresso Creatista Plus. In addition to making milk foam, this machine can also make espresso, as well as lattes, cappuccinos and other espresso-based drinks. For every penny, the retail price is $748.

Another type of foam machine, whose price ranges from $60 to $100, automatically heats up the milk and foams it. The tiny IKEA foam stick ($2.90), powered by two AA batteries, is the most user-friendly but cannot heat milk.

What is the effect of the milk bubbles produced by these three kinds of foam machines? Click on the video to learn about the secret of making lattes with them.
