Please follow the instructions and gradually filter out the ideal milk foam machine that suits you best.

Select according to type

According to the driving mode, milk foam machine can be divided into two types: electric and manual. The electric milk foam machine can be divided into two styles: "electric mixing stick" and "electric milk foam machine", while the manual milk foam machine also has two choices of "double-layer milk bubble cup" and "snow cup". When choosing and buying, please be sure to choose products that are easy to use and can make ideal milk foam according to your own usage habits.

Electric stirring rod

The appearance is in the shape of a stick, and the advantage of this type of model is that it is cheap and easy to obtain, and it is sold in the kitchenware areas of many coffee shops and stores. The mode of use is also very simple, as long as the front end of the mixing stick is put into a cup filled with milk, and then press the electric switch, the milk can be beaten into milk foam. It is suitable for making cold or hot drinks, and it can be easily cleaned after use.

In addition to the stick-shaped structure, some products are purchased with cups containing milk for convenience. However, due to the weak strength of the mixing bar, the air particles into the milk are thicker, and the fineness of the milk foam is usually not enough, so we should also pay attention to whether the metal parts are easy to rust when buying. It is more suitable for novices who have a low budget and want to try to foam at home.

Electric milk blister

This type of foam maker is fully automatic and looks like a small mixer with heating function in terms of structure. Unlike the electric stirring bar, which needs to be heated while beating milk bubbles, when using the electric foam machine, as long as you pour the milk into the cup and press the switch, you can easily produce milk bubbles at the required temperature, which is very simple and convenient! Due to the high production efficiency, the texture of the milk foam is more delicate, and the quality is stable, so it is more often used for commercial purposes. But the disadvantage is that the price is higher.

Double milk bubble cup

Double-layer milk bubble cup, also known as "French milk bubble cup", the common material can be divided into stainless steel and glass. The transparent cup body made of glass is characterized by beautiful vision and can easily see the condition of milk in the cup, but it is also easy to break. On the other hand, stainless steel cups are not easy to break and can be heated on an induction cooker.

When choosing a double-layer milk bubble cup, it is recommended to choose the model with stomata and stomatal lid on the cup lid. In the process of pressurization, as long as you press the stomata, you can make the milk foam more detailed. In addition, the selection and purchase of a more detailed style of the press net will also help to make dense milk foam. However, it is worth noting that compared with electric stirring bars, double-layer milk bubble cups are more difficult to wash and need to be washed and preserved.

Milk bubble snow cup

This is the simplest structure and the most intuitive way to use a milk bubble. Pour the iced milk into the milk bubble snow cup, tighten the cup, then shake hard for 30 seconds, then pour the milk foam on the coffee, and the delicious latte is finished. Because it is very convenient to use and there is no risk of scalding, even children can easily use it! However, if you want to drink a hot drink, you need to heat the milk by microwave before using the snow cup.

Choose according to the temperature of the milk

What temperature of drink do you like? Different styles of milk foam machine, the suitable milk temperature is also different. Some models can only heat milk to a fixed temperature, which may not be the best choice for people who like to drink hotter drinks. Inappropriate temperature can also easily lead to difficult foaming of milk, so be sure to confirm your preferences and needs before buying.
