10 Best Milk Frothers 2024 | UK Chef Reviewed

This compact device has all the bells and whistles you could need when it comes to frothing milk, with the best versatility of the group. There are two interchangeable whisks for frothing and stirring, depending on whether you’re mixing a hot chocolate or frothing up a cappuccino.

This is also one of the few devices which enables you to set the temperature yourself so that you can have it that couple of degrees hotter or colder if you’d like. The induction technology also prevents the milk from burning and enables you to melt whole pieces of chocolate for the creamiest cocoa.

This product from Bodum is one of the best manual milk frothers on the UK market. This company specialises in this type of product and produces a range of top quality cafetieres. This particular milk frother has a similar design and is made from the same heat-resistant tempered glass, so you know it’s of good quality. 

Milk can be warmed either on the stove or in the microwave, and once you’ve done so, plunge up and down for around 45 seconds to achieve the perfect consistency and temperature for your foamy milk. The advantage of this milk frother is that you have better control of how the milk turns out. It is very good to control when you know how to froth like a barista but may require a bit of time to master it.

The Dualit Electric Milk frother is a best-seller on Amazon with hundreds of positive reviews backing it. The design resembles a small kettle with a base plate and a detachable jug which makes pouring the perfect latte easy.

It's very simple to use with one button that has three settings: heat & froth (for coffee), heat, no froth (for hot chocolate), and froth, no heat (for milkshakes). It can also make enough for two standard-sized coffees in just a few minutes!

The Melitta Cremio 2 is an excellent option if you want a completely hassle-free experience. With minimum and maximum level indicators, you won’t need to worry about under or over-filling. 

Plus, the non-stick coating on the interior of the milk container means it can be easily cleaned with a quick swipe of a damp cloth, and the jug is also dishwasher safe. A final victory is that it signals when in use and alerts you when your milk has reached optimum temperature and consistency. Clever!

It may look unassuming, but this small milk frother packs a big punch. The attached motor ensures that this product consistently produces high-quality foam with each use. The dry rotation speed that the Aerolatte works with guarantees the foam won’t turn to bubbles but will be smooth and long-lasting.

The technology inside this tiny device also uses a torque which helps alleviate the stress from the whisking motion, increasing the durability of the device. And as it’s portable, this one’s excellent for travelling!

This elegant stove-top milk frother from Bialetti is the reliable, low-maintenance choice. Its fuss-free, robust design with no electronics means that you’ll be enjoying this product for years to come.

To use, simply pour in your milk and heat to your desired temperature. You will need to stir the milk manually, though, so that it doesn’t burn and stick to the bottom. Despite not being dishwasher safe, it’s easy to clean, and with the pump-action method of frothing, you can get the exact consistency you want. 

One of the biggest names in coffee, Nespresso produce some excellent milk frothers too. Our pick is the electric Nespresso Aeroccino 4 milk frother. It’s super simple to use, producing frothy, hot, or cold milk with 4 button controls.

This is a fantastic choice if you’re after a stylish appliance to display in your kitchen, as it has a smart silver modern design with a base unit and a whisk element. It's also great if you’re an early-riser as it is as good as silent while whizzing away! 

Lavazza are giants in the at-home coffee space and they’ve produced another winner with their sleek-looking Milk Up frother. This is an excellent product if you want versatility, and with three components, it works for hot and cold drinks, foam or no foam.

It heats milk to 65 degrees, which is the perfect temperature according to Lavazza. That does mean, however, that if you’re particular, you won’t be able to alter this. This product is super easy to use with one multifunctional button, but it may be best for solo drinkers as it can only hold 120 ml at a time.

Smeg are undoubtedly one of the most well-known kitchen appliance brands in the world. Their products are high-quality, durable and very stylish, and their retro milk frother is no different. But it’s not all about style!

This one uses induction technology to heat your milk, which means that there’s no chance of you burning it and spoiling your morning coffee. The downside? It’s not dishwasher safe, and like most Smeg products, it’s quite expensive. 

This Judge Milk Frother is one of the best choices if you have a large amount of milk to transform. The jug holds an incredible 750 ml, meaning you can make multiple coffees at a time. Plus, with a straightforward touch-operation function, the hard work is done for you.

In just 2 minutes, your milk will reach a perfect 65-70 degrees and be frothed to perfection. With easy cleaning too, this is a good all-rounder – the only downside is that you can’t alter the temperatures, timings or consistency to your liking.
