What is the difference between Milk Steamer and Milk Frother?
They are both milk right and added to cappuccinos, lattes, mochas, espressos among many other delicious drinks. They are similar in looks but the way they are formed and their qualities vary.
Milk Frothing
It has become super popular nowadays thanks to little gadgets that can make homemade milk froth (and they are good). The process involves air. What you want to achieve is a foamy airy quality, so how does this work exactly? The process is called aeration in which the air foams the milk, a good milk froth should be both fluffy and dense and also hold up well.
This process can be done with electric frothers, like the one we reviewed by Powerlix.
Or manually which is as simple as using a jar and a whisk but it takes time to froth the milk this way and if you are in a hurry, then this is not the ideal option.
Milk froth is essential to cappuccinos, without it they are not complete, this froth can also top ice drinks.
Milk Steaming
So the main difference with milk frothing is the temperature, milk steaming involves heat which gives a finer and richer texture, called microfoam, but unlike milk froths air is not the key element, the heat will aerate the milk slightly creating small bubbles this will give you a more refined foam with a velvety quality.
The steaming process is made with a steam wand, maybe you've seen them in cafeterias, nowadays in the market there are plenty of small electric small steamers to make your favorite beverages at home.
Now that we've clarified the differences, let us show you our top picks for the Best Milk Steamers in 2020.
