What is the difference between coffee sold in cafes and coffee brewed from bagged 3-in-1? For latte, cappuccino and other coffee, the difference between the two is not only in the variety of coffee beans, grinding process, etc., the cup is filled with a layer of detailed and dense milk froth is also one of the signs of quality coffee.
A small milk froth, but a big role. In fact, coffee with milk froth is not just a decorative role, on the one hand, the milk froth can be integrated with the overall taste, when the production of coffee, milk and milk froth molecules form a uniform combination, the taste of coffee will become better, on the other hand, the rich milk froth wrapped in a small air mobility, very conducive to coffee insulation.
In order to be able to make café level coffee at home, milk frother has become a complementary product used by many users who seek quality with a coffee machine without frothing function. And usually milk frother machine operation is particularly simple, the user is very easy to get started.
There are many different kinds of milk frother on the market, mainly divided into electric and manual two, for convenience, more people will prefer electric milk frother, but everything has its advantages and disadvantages, electric milk frother is difficult to make a detailed and even foam, but also can not do a small fresh pull.
So, how to choose the specific milk frother?
According to the type of choice
Milk frother machine according to the drive mode, can be divided into two types of electric, manual. Electric milk frother can be divided into “electric stirring bar” and “electric milk frother” two styles; and manual milk frother also has a “double milk froth cup” and The manual milk frother is also available in “double froth cup” and “shaker cup”. When shopping, be sure to choose the product that works well and produces the ideal milk froth according to your own usage habits.
Electric stirrer
The advantage of this model is that it is inexpensive and easy to obtain, and is available in the kitchenware section of many coffee shop chains and stores. It is also very simple to use, just put the front of the stirring bar into the cup with milk and press the electric switch to froth the milk. Suitable for making cold or hot drinks, and can be easily cleaned after use.
In addition to the stick structure, some products are purchased with a cup for milk for ease of use. However, because of the weak force of the stirring stick, the air particles that are punched into the milk are coarse, and the milk froth produced is usually not detailed enough. It is more suitable for newcomers who want to try frothing milk at home with a low budget.
Electric milk frother/electric frother
This type of milk frother is fully automatic, in terms of construction is like a small mixer with heating function. Unlike an electric stirrer that needs to be heated while frothing, an electric frother is as simple as pouring milk into a cup and pressing the switch to produce the desired temperature of milk froth. Because of the high production efficiency, the texture of the milk froth is also more delicate and stable, so it is more often used for commercial purposes. But the disadvantage is that the price is more expensive.
Double froth cups
Double milk froth cup also known as “French milk froth cup”, common materials can be divided into stainless steel and glass two. Glass to create a transparent cup, its characteristics are visually beautiful, and can easily see the milk in the cup whipped condition, but also easy to break. On the other hand, stainless steel cups are not easy to break, and can be placed on the induction heating characteristics.
When choosing a double milk frothing cup, it is recommended to choose a model with an air hole in the lid and an air hole in the lid. In the process of pressurization, as long as the air holes are pressed, it will make the milk froth more detailed. In addition, choose a model with a finer pressure screen, which also helps to make dense milk froth. However, it is worth noting that compared to electric stirrers, double froth cups are more difficult to wash and require more effort to clean and preserve.
