Milk frother

Buddy97mm

Having dabbled with various coffee makers over the years, I finally settled on a moka Pot for daily use - I find it gives me decent coffee all of the time with little effort required.

My son, who just began working, has now started drinking coffee and prefers cappucino/latte, so I am now looking for a reasonable milk frother to use with my Moka Pot. I have in the past used battery operated wands and jugs with pump action, but is there any sense of which produces the best froth. I note the frothing jugs now seem to have a double mesh which presumably gives somewhat better results; the Bialetti Tuttocream looks great and obviously fits well with a Bialetti Moka Pot, but is not exactly the cheapest, has anyone any experience of this?

I've recommended this to family and friends who wanted something simple for just frothing milk. All are pleased with it

I always use the French Press, which is practically never used for making actual coffee.

I heat the milk in the jug part, in the microwave: then whoosh up and down briskly with the plunger-y part and the milk surges through it, turning into a firm white foam. Perfect. You can write your name on it in cinnamon, if you wish!

Bodum do a milk frother that works like Kate is using the french press above.

Put it in the microwave while the coffee is brewing, then pummel it with the plunger, makes perfect frothy milk.

Bewleys stores were selling them pretty cheaply last time I checked.

I was gifted one of those bodum ones. Its not used at all and would be happy to let it go for €10 if you are interested.

I use that one. When it works its great but there is a great deal of variation i.e easy to burn the milk
