10 Best Milk Frothers UK for the Perfect Foam (2022)

As a brand, Smeg needs no introduction. Their high-quality kitchen products have been a staple in our homes for years and consistently rank high on lists and catalogues.

Perhaps you already own one of their espresso or filter coffee machines, or maybe you simply recognise and adore Smeg’s iconic retro style. Either way, this milk frother will look great in any kitchen. And anyone who goes through multiple creamy coffees every day will be pleased to learn that this model can prep 250 ml of milk in one go.

With seven settings to choose from, you can prepare a variety of drinks. You can get your cold milk with thick froth or light froth, make use of the hot chocolate setting, or have it heat the milk gently. It has helpful lights that will turn on to let you know it is currently in use. As far as we’re concerned, this is the best milk frother on the UK market.

This Melitta jug is perfect for fuss-free foaming. Much like our top entry, this electric milk frother can also froth 250 ml at a time—more than enough for you and your guests!

It’s easy to use: push a single button, and the Melitta Cremio II will do all the work for you. It comes with an ergonomic handle so you can grip it comfortably and pour out the contents once ready.

The Cool Touch surface ensures it is always safe to use, and the illuminated controls will always let you know whether it is on or not. And the lid and whisk components are dishwasher-safe for minimum hassle once you’re done.

Available in black and stainless steel, this is the perfect match for any coffee machine and accessories you already own.

This bestseller is super easy to use and easy to clean. In fact, it is even dishwasher safe for your convenience.

The stainless steel cup has a 120 ml capacity to froth your milk. But if you only want to use it for heating, you can fill it up with 180 ml. There is a generous 0.6m cable length too, so it can be left out at all times without having to move it around your kitchen.

Going with this model means getting your coffee ready with just the push of a button. For best results, be sure to use full-fat milk.

This manual frother jug is made from durable borosilicate glass, which means that it can withstand intense temperatures (and numerous spins inside your microwave) to bring you froth in your milk for years to come.

Its simple design may remind you of a cafetière, but each element of its design serves a purpose. The deep-rimmed lid prevents any air or milk from escaping during the frothing process. The plunger handle is comfortable to grip and easy to control, and no matter what temperature the contents are, the glass handle will always remain cool to touch.

Remember that even though the glass is durable, you will still need to be careful when handling, storing, or travelling with it.

This entry can heat up to 300 ml of milk and froth up 150 ml of it. The inner stainless steel container has the capacity markings needed to ensure you don’t accidentally overfill it. It is sealed with a see-through lid so you can monitor the contents.

With that said, there’s no need to nervously watch over it because it automatically turns off once the milk is ready. And the manufacturers even suggest throwing in cocoa powder to effortlessly whip up some delicious hot chocolate.

The non-stick coated jug and removable emulsifier guarantee ease of use and require minimum cleaning maintenance. Thanks to the convenient 360-degree swivel base, the design is suitable for both left and right-handed coffee-drinkers too.

If another family member suddenly pipes up that they’d like a coffee too “if you’re already making one”, then this is the milk frother you’d want to have on hand!

With its 500 ml capacity for both heating and frothing milk combined with its “One Touch Triple Function” you can quickly serve up multiple hot chocolates, cappuccinos, or iced coffees in next to no time.

Even at maximum capacity, it can get the job done in roughly two minutes or less. After which, it will automatically switch itself off so that you can safely get your drinks ready. The whisk also detaches so that you can clean it thoroughly.

This compact electric milk frother was designed with just one or two servings in mind which makes it ideal for anyone who hates waste or is the only coffee drinker in the house.

Simply plug in the Mio Milk Easy, push the button, and wait for it to beep twice to let you know your milk is ready. The transparent lid allows you to check on the progress. And the detachable, dishwasher-safe cover, seal, and whisk all mean it is easy to clean.

Whilst milk frothing is best if using 1% or 2% fat milk, this Lavazza model is actually by far one of the best on our list for handling plant-based non-dairy milks too. Enjoy your soy milk cappuccino!

Unlike our other entries so far, this handheld, battery-operated frother was specifically designed to produce perfectly frothed milk in 20 seconds or less.

It will take up hardly any space in your kitchen and can froth milk even inside of an ordinary mug—no need for fancy jugs or non-stick containers! It works with most milk varieties, including soya and skimmed, and can also be used to mix up sauces, soups, and other liquids.

It comes with two AA batteries—which should produce around 150 uses. It comes with its own stand to keep it safe and within reach instead of having to rummage through a drawer.

Bialetti is best known for its Moka pots. So if you’re looking to maintain that more “traditional” method of coffee preparation, then this manual frother is for you!

It owes its black matte look to the protective Teflon that coats its aluminum exterior. Suitable for around six cups worth of milk, be sure to remove the frothing pump before heating it on the hob. The handle is comfortable to hold and has a double sieve mesh insert frother for quicker, creamier results.

Using the Tuttocream may initially sound a lot of effort, but the manual pumping will only take 15-20 seconds and 20-30 seconds of letting it stand.

Want something handheld, budget-friendly, and battery-powered?

Then this entry is perfect for you. Powered by AA batteries, the Le’Xpress is handheld and can be used to froth milk straight in the mug or glass you will use. Its portability means you can take it on holiday or use it at work.

In addition to frothing milk, it can also be used to whisk egg whites or salad dressing. And if you’re looking to try new coffee recipes, two are included for free!

Its small price tag may indicate that it is not as powerful as some of our previous entries. But as far as we’re concerned, this is a perfect gadget for any casual coffee drinker.
