The Breville the Milk Cafe frother is a hot chocolate drinker's dream come true. Simply place your desired frothing disc for either more or less foam, add milk, select your preferred temperature, and press start. Once the liquid is turning, you can open the lid window to add all the cocoa or drink mix your heart desires. Whichever disc you aren't using stores magnetically on the back of the machine, and the temperature dial lets you select anything from cold to scalding hot. This gadget produces a stiffer froth, making it ideal for those who enjoy drier textured milk.
Where this product primarily falls short is in texture customization. If you're hoping to replicate the cafe-quality microfoam, we'd point you towards a handheld frother like the BonsenKitchen or Zulay. On the other end of the spectrum, the Breville Milk Cafe also can't aerate as aggressively as handheld models. Simply put, this is not the right product for you if you are hoping to make a beverage that is 90% foam. Furthermore, this unit is by no means cheap. Still, we think that the Breville strikes a perfect balance between convenience and quality textured froth for most people. No need to heat your milk over the stove or in the microwave &mdash; you can do it all in this machine.
