Dualit Milk Frother | Hot milk, hot & cold frothed milk | Ideal for lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, hot chocolate & milkshakes | 84135

Product Information

No higher than 65C, in my humble opinion. I actually prefer my flat whites to be just a couple of degrees cooler than this, usually 63 or 64, and it's not just about the temperature, it's about taste. Just try making your milk hotter, and see what it tastes like. You'll probably find that the hotter it gets after about 65, the duller or flatter it starts to taste. If it'll froth, a frother will froth it, but certain types of milk alternatives are more frothable (is that a word?) than others, so it will depend on the non-dairy milk alternative of choice. Most of the oat milks & Soy milks froth fairly well, and some of the “barista” versions froth really well, some of them almost as good as full-fat moo milk. Take your cappuccinos to the next level with this high-performance milk frother, with a patented dual-speed motor from Dualit, the cordless DA4135 produces hot milk, hot frothed milk or cold frothed milk in just two minutes. It's perfect for making a latté, cappuccino, hot chocolate, milkshakes or simply livening up an instant coffee. A compact and invaluable addition to any kitchen, the milk frother is a great partner for all Dualit coffee machines. Features and Benefits If you've used a standard sharp spout in the past, the spout on these are a bit different, but I really like them. The handle is also slightly different, and it'll take some getting used to if you've used a more standard handle, but whatever jug you get, you'll need to get used to pouring with it, as there are so many different types of milk jugs with different spouts and different handle positions and styles.

This is the newer version of the Lavazza milk frother, and unlike the one-piece original version, this is a different design, incorporating a detachable jug and magnetic induction. It looks a bit classier, but I think the main benefit of this slightly pricier version is the fact that it's a 2 part affair, so you're just pouring from a jug into your coffee. Agitation is done by agitating the milk, as the word suggests, usually by using a whisk. If you were to put milk in a jar and froth it by shaking it furiously, you'd also be agitating it, and probably agitating anyone else who happens to be present, as an added bonus ;-). Value for money: Looking at the price point and quality of results, we evaluated whether the milk frother felt like a good investment. I did ride motorbikes a bit as a kid, by the way, but just on fields, not on the road. come to think of it, I did actually ride my mate's scooter on the road occasionally as a teenager but don't tell my mum, she'll go ape if she finds out ;-). Again, old school latte was made with bigger bubbled froth, these days you'll usually find that it's more like a taller less intense flat white, being made with microfoam. If you're making your own flat whites from home, though, you can play around until you've got your latte exactly how you want it, and then just try to remember exactly what you did so you can repeat it over & over again.One of the first things that Baristas did when they realized they could create milk foam using steam wands, was to make an espresso based version of this popular drink but make it much easier (and presumably cheaper) to make, than having to whip up cream – and at some point, this espresso-based version of Kapuziner became the Cappuccino.

The key to perfectly frothed milk is fat. That's why cafés and coffee shops use whole milk to make coffees as standard. Most coffee shop favourites are made with espresso and textured, heated milk that we generally refer to as foam, froth, or where speciality coffee is concerned “micro foam”. So as long as you have some way to create the espresso or espresso-style coffee (if you don't have an espresso machine, a coffee pod machine, an Aeropress or a stove top coffee pot will do fine) then you can produce the heated textured milk, or cold foam if you're making an iced latte or frappe for example, using one of the frothers above Flat White I made this flat white, and I drank it too 🙂 The main thing to consider is how much control you need over the milk texture. If you need little or no control over the type of texture (meaning the size of the bubbles) and how wet or dry the texture is (meaning how long it's streamed or agitated for) then most of the electric milk frothers which heat the milk while frothing it using an integrated whisk will be fine. To replicate that same froth for oat milk, and all other plant-based milks, you have to buy the 'barista' version which has added stabilisers to mimic the fats found in cow's milk.

I've bought one of these, and I'll be doing a comparison video using the various hand whisks, and I'll update this post once I've used them all. Zulay Original By Milk Boss
