The Aeroccino 4 takes the hassle out of milk frothing. Pour in milk, press the button, and in about 90 seconds you have thick, creamy foam – hot or cold. The induction heating avoids scorching, and the non-stick interior rinses clean in seconds or goes straight into the dishwasher.

The two interchangeable whisks let you choose between dense foam for cappuccinos or light foam for lattes. It works with whole, semi-skimmed, almond, oat, and soy milk. The hot foam maxes at 4 ounces, so you’ll need two batches for a large latte.

At $100, the Aeroccino 4 is pricey for a frother, but the build quality and consistency justify it for daily coffee drinkers who own a Nespresso machine or brew espresso at home.
