Fluffy and creamy milk foam is non-negotiable for several items on the bar menu. More than providing drama with a gorgeous layer of cloud and canvas for art, the texture of frothed milk adds a velvety mouthfeel to drinks. Taste-wise, frothing milk raises its sweetness by a notch.

 

The Smeg milk frother is a must if you like preparing cappuccino, latte macchiato, flat white, or what has been dubbed as the quarantine drink, Dalgona coffee. It also comes in handy for hot chocolate. Tea lovers can get creative with it too!

 

 

While it will elevate each cup you serve by a mile, the Smeg milk frother doesn’t require training to use, you don’t have to be a pro to operate it. There’s just one button for starting and stopping the cycles and a selection knob that gives you 7 options:  6 pre-set programs and a manual function. For the automatic settings, you may choose from hot chocolate, hot milk, hot milk with light froth, hot milk with thick froth, cold milk with light froth, and cold milk with thick froth.  As soon as a cycle ends, you will be alerted by an acoustic signal and the backlight of the start/stop button will switch off.

 

Then you can pour out the divine contents of the removable jug. Made with stainless steel, the jug has a BPA-free Tritan lid and measuring cup. The small cup can be removed to add powder ingredients while the appliance is running. The jug which can hold approximately 250 ml for frothing and 600 ml for heating, is visibly marked with the minimum and maximum filling levels so you don’t end up spilling or splashing liquid.

 

 

Inside the jug is a pin where the whisk of your choice is inserted. Use the notched for frothing milk or chocolate and the smooth one for the hot milk function. Both are made of high grade plastic and will therefore never develop rust. Power comes from an induction-heated motor base that is durable and sturdy, it stands on four legs fitted with anti-slip material. Hidden underneath is a built-in cord wrap so there are no unsightly cables.

 

Available in cream, black, red, pastel blue, pastel green, and pink, the stylish Italian retro design of the milk frother is perfect alongside the other iconic coffee appliances of Smeg. It’s a complement to the espresso machine, drip filter coffee machine, and coffee grinder.
