Tuttocrema Frother by Bialetti

The Tuttocrema is one of the best manual milk frothers produced by Bialetti allowing the user to heat the milk directly on the stovetop (gas, electric, or ceramic). The device has an aluminum matte black finish and non-stick Teflon interiors. The frothing stem combines a lid and a plunger which has a double screen for frothing. This screen has a silicone edging which works as a seal so that all the milk passes through both screens.

The frother is very solid because it includes no electrical parts which tend to fail. It can last for years. The appliance features a heat-resistant handle which is always cool to the touch and prevents accidental burning.

This frother is very simple to use. The manufacturers recommend filling the jar only one-third for frothing milk. Pour milk into the jar and warm it on the stovetop to the temperature you prefer if you are in a mood for a hot beverage. You can dictate the temperature of the drink. Remove the carafe from the heat and start pumping the plunger repeatedly until the milk reaches the required consistency.

The total capacity of the frother is 940 ml (32 oz.) which is enough to prepare six cups of milky beverages.

The carafe can be cleaned in a dishwasher but Bialetti recommends handwashing. The plunger with the lid can be washed under a running faucet.

Some customers find this device a bit expensive compared to other frothing alternatives of the manual type.

Manual Glass Milk Frother

This Bialetti milk frother also refers to the manual type, but with this brand, you always get a couple of features which bring coffee cooking to a new level.

This device has a glass jar which is made of durable borosilicate glass. It also features a spout for convenient milk pouring. The jar is microwave-safe, so you can warm the liquid before frothing.

With this appliance, you can transform milk into a thick foam by agitating the air manually with a plunger. This saves on batteries and electricity.

The plunger has a double filter screen which ensures a double frothing action and guarantees extra-thick foam.

The carafe features a non-slip rubber base which provides a stable grip on the countertop during operation.

To make a beverage, pour milk into the glass vessel up to one-third of the way and heat it in a microwave, if necessary. Then replace the lid and begin to pump the liquid holding the handle until the froth is ready.

With a large jar capacity (almost 900 ml/30 oz.), you can make three cups of milk beverages at a time.

The developers recommend handwashing, so the carafe cannot be cleaned in a dishwasher, besides glass cookware implies cautious maintenance. Remove the frothing stem with the screens and wash it separately with a soapy solution to prevent milk deposits.

The appliance is decently priced and will complement other kitchen utensils.

Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker & Milk Frother

The Bialetti hot chocolate maker is a must-have for fans of chocolate beverages. This appliance allows you to add cocoa powder and chocolate shavings in order to create fantastic milky drinks.

This appliance belongs to the automatic type of frothers and includes the electric part and the carafe. The carafe is made of transparent plastic so that a user can watch the frothing process. Its capacity is 940 ml (32 oz.).

To make hot chocolate, pour milk into the carafe and add the other ingredients according to your favorite recipe. Then, close the lid and turn the timer on the base to the required setting – 4, 6, or a maximum of 8 minutes for hot beverages. If you want to prepare three cups of hot chocolate, you will need only two cups of milk because this device makes the drink very creamy and increases its volume.

If you prefer cold drinks, add the milk into the jug and choose the “cool mixing” timer setting. The frother also includes a rotating paddle. This attachment is fixed to the bottom inside the carafe and draws more air through a tube down to the bottom of the carafe making the drink frothy. You can also make a cappuccino with this frother by adding coffee to the milk directly in the jar. Coffee tends to leave stains, so you may need extra effort to clean the jar afterwards. The device is equipped with an automatic shut-off system which recognizes when there is no activity.

The jar is attached to the base, and this makes the unit not dishwasher-safe. The carafe should be carefully hand-washed in order to avoid moistening the electric elements.

This frother is a little expensive, but it has a great amount of options which are also very important.
