Severin SM 9688 Induction Milk Frother

The SM 9688 model from Severin is an automatic frother that is beautifully designed. The device is quite compact and will fit in the most crowded kitchen worktop.

It includes two interchangeable whisks that are made to froth and stir milk. One whisk is serrated and the other one is smooth. This makes the unit ideal for occasions when you want to heat milk without frothing (for example, to make hot chocolate). While one whisk is in operation, you can store the unused one in a comfortable section on the base, and it will never get lost.

The mug of the frother is made of stainless steel and features a handy lid. This lid is tight-fitting and prevents the liquid from splashing out.

This model uses an induction system of heating. This means that this mechanism prevents the milk from scorching because heat is not applied directly to the mug.

There is a push button on the front of the frother which turns the unit on. Around the key, there is a twist dial which allows the user to select the temperature of the beverage. It includes “cold,” “warm,” “50°C,” “60°C,” and “65°C” settings. The SM 9688 surprises its users with a number of options available and gives more control over the drink quality.

To make a beverage, insert the correct whisk on the axle inside the removable mug. Pour milk in the mug, observing the maximum fill line indicators. The first embossed line indicates 350 ml and denotes the maximum amount of liquid for frothing. The second line marks 700 ml which is the maximum amount for heating milk.

Place the jug onto the base and adjust the temperature using a dial. Press the “ON” button. The time, when the process starts and when it is complete is indicated by beep signals. The light indicator on the base will illuminate when your drink is ready. If you want to stop frothing, press the power button once.

Both the container and the lid can be cleaned in a dishwasher. This is an important feature for users who don’t like fuss about cleanup.

This model is a solid device and packs all the important features of a good frother into one device. It is customized to suit your preferences. The unit comes with a higher price tag than similar electric frothers, but it gives extra advantages, so its price is justified.

Severin SM 9685 Silver-White Milk Frother

Making frothed beverages at home without a frother can be challenging. Thanks to the Severin SM 9685, there is a quick and easy solution. This elegant and compact device both heats and makes foam in milk in one touch of a button.

The device uses induction heating. Thanks to this technology, the chances of scorching milk are reduced because the frother includes no elements that heat the milk directly. The most common problem of burnt milk is eliminated!

The appliance consists of a stainless steel carafe for milk and a white electric base. The base features magnetic storage for a whisk that is not in use. The device has a low-noise operation.

The mug is detachable and dishwasher-safe. It is covered with a lid which has a convenient opening to add ingredients (syrup or cocoa) during operation.

There are fill line indicators inside the mug. They show the minimal and maximum marks for frothing (120-350 ml) and for heating milk (120-700 ml).

There are four temperature settings which allow users to adjust the temperature for the drink. You are free to select 45°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C mode, or a cold-frothing function (blue dot symbol on the left). The LED lights will indicate the chosen setting.

The frother comes with two stirring heads – for heating and frothing milk. To start operation, place the appropriate whisk into the mounting protrusion inside the mug. Pour the required amount of liquid into the container. On the temperature selection display, choose the desired temperature and press the “ON” switch. You will hear a beep signal, and the indicator will show a steady light. When the process is complete, the device will stop automatically.

The carafe, whisks and lid should be cleaned after each use with warm water and a little detergent. These parts are also dishwasher-safe. Clean the serrated whisk with a brush, if necessary. Dry all the parts before storage. The base can be cleaned with a damp sponge. Do not use any harsh cleaning solutions or abrasives.

The SM 9685 is a kitchen product of excellent quality, but it is a little expensive in comparison to its competitors.

Severin SM 9495 Stainless Steel-Black Frother

The SM 9495 is one more device from Severin. It is another automatic milk frother. The model features a stainless steel cup and a black electric base. It has a sleek design and is very compact, so it fits in any kitchen.

This frother has a smaller capacity compared to the devices described before. Its minimum fill line is 60 ml of milk. The maximum mark for frothing is 120 ml and for heating – 180 ml. The appliance is also equipped with the induction heating system which helps avoid burnt milk. It comes with a serrated head used for frothing and with a smooth collar for the serrated whisk for heating milk.

Before making a beverage, place the correct whisk on the axle inside the mug. Pour the milk into the mug, observing the fill lines. Place the lid on the container and press the switch on the base. You will hear a signal, and the motor will start working. The average temperature of the drink you have is 65°C. When the operation is over, the frother turns off. You will hear multiple beep signals. Remove the power cord only when the motor stops because the cooling system continues to run for some time.

Usually, heating causes a problem of burnt milk. The milk tends to stick to the jug because of direct heat and makes you continuously stir it. The induction heating prevents burning and makes the frother easier to clean.

Both the jug and plastic lid are dishwasher-safe. They can also be hand-washed in hot water with some detergent. The base can be cleaned with a wet cloth.

This model is cheaper than the appliances described above, but at the same time, it has a limited number of functions.

Severin SM 3582 Milk Frother

The SM 3582 is a frother similar to the devices described above. Again, its strong point is induction heating, which heats the milk with indirect heat exposure.

To start the process, choose the appropriate stirring head. For both frothing and heating and for cold-frothing, insert a serrated head. The smooth stirring whisk is used to heat up the milk. When not in use, both whisks can be stored in the rear of the housing.

The frother features a mug made of stainless steel and the base. The capacity of the frother is 500 ml. When pouring milk into the mug, observe the indicated fill lines – 260 ml for frothing and 500 ml for heating milk. The jug should be filled with at least 120 ml of liquid required for safe operation.

Pour milk into the pitcher and press the switch button. You will hear a signal, and the frother begins to operate. Once the process is over, the stirring will stop automatically. You will see the indicator lamp flashing, and the frother will emit a series of signals.

The whisks, container and lid should be cleaned after each use with warm water or in a dishwasher. If necessary, use a brush to clean the stirring disks. Wipe all the parts before storage. Clean the base with a damp cloth.

The SM 3582 is not the cheapest frother available on the market. However, its solid German engineering makes the device very durable. If you are looking for a well-built appliance that is easy to clean and use, this unit will not disappoint you.

Severin SM 3590 Black Handheld Milk Frother

The SM 3590 is a handheld type of frother. This model is available in a variety of marvelous colors. You can enjoy its expressive green, red and yellow, or buy the device in a classic black color.

The tool runs on two AA batteries, which are preinstalled. The motor is very powerful at frothing milk. It makes a real liquid tornado in the mug.

The device consists of a strong shaft with a whisking head made of stainless steel and a plastic handle, which holds the batteries. The frother feels very comfortable in your hand.

The tool is very easy to handle. Insert the frothing head into a cup of milk and press the pulse switch located on the handle. Keep it pressed until the drink is frothed. You will need half a minute to create thick and fluffy foam. The frother is perfectly balanced and gives no vibration during operation.

Wash the tool under a running faucet. You may also immerse the wand into a cup with warm soapy water and turn it on. Repeat this procedure using pure water. Dry the wand thoroughly. Keep the handle with the electric compartment away from water.

The appliance is reasonably priced.

Conclusion

All the Severin milk frothers are well-built and beautifully designed in Germany. Their pricing may be on the higher side, but you will discover that they are worth every single dollar. With this convenient gadget at home, you can prepare any milk-based drinks in no time.
