Milk Capacity

Count how many drinks you make on average. A handheld automatic frother will provide good results for single serving use, while larger systems may be better suited to fairly frequent and larger use.

Heating Control

When it comes to getting milk ready for coffee, temperature regulation is key. Certain machines are automatic with a milk carafe, while others include steam wands for you to manually control the process.

Foam Texture

If you like cappuccinos or latte art, find a machine which makes fine, silky microfoam.

Ease of Cleaning

Type of Machine

You can determine if you need a standalone, espresso machine with steam wand or a handheld frother.

Intended Usage

You will be home which can go for more convenience and compactness but cafés should look for capacity, durability, and use as per the manufacturer guidelines.
