1. Lavazza A Modo Mio Easy Milk Frother

Starting off strong, this top-rated milk frother is loved for its rich and dense foam. And the best part? The three settings to choose from. Enjoy frothed hot milk, frothed cold milk and regular hot milk at the press of a button. When it comes to size, the frother is pretty compact, making it easy to keep on the kitchen counter, but with 120ml for frothing and 180ml for heating, it can make only two small cappuccinos or one big latte.

Pros: Consistent quality, easy to use, easy to clean and quiet

Cons: Small capacity

£69, available to buy here.
