Design Elements
A handheld device usually has quite a simple design. In fact, the Zyliss is no exception and it only has 2 parts:a red body or a holder, and a grey stick with a spring at the top. We’ll look at each part carefully.
The body, which serves as a holder and battery container, is red. On the exterior is a button which turns the device on, which is only changeable mode for the device. In addition, there is a brand logo on it. As for battery container, there is nothing special with just 2 slots for 2 AA batteries.
Another part of the Zyliss milk frother is a stick with a frother at the end made of stainless steel. As you might know, a regular spring curved into a circle serves as the actual frother.
However, this device has another type of spring: in the shape of a drum with cells filling the empty space. This might be improved construction for preparing a thick and dense milk froth.
In addition, there are some invisible features that also make this frother one of the best devices. It is lightweight and it isn’t uncomfortable to use. You may also like the ease of operation. And there is an extra feature which is even more valuable than the previous ones, which is that is doesn’t require electricity, thus, it’s cordless, in other words, portable, which allows you to take and use it anywhere you want.

Quality of Use
Despite being a handheld milk frother and quite small compared to the stationary coffee and frothing type machines, this tiny tool provides smooth and dense milk.

In fact, the Zyliss is quite powerful, and when turning it on, the user can notice how it works even without submerging it into the liquid.

However, the manufacturer also provides some time recommendations, specifically to run the device for 30 seconds 3 times, which means that the preparation is quite quick.
Cleaning Options
Immediately after the perfect foam for your drink is ready, the device should be washed in order to avoid milk residue sticking to the spring. Otherwise, your next drink will have previous leftovers, or even an unpleasant odor. Fortunately, the Zyliss frothing device is very easy to care about and clean. The only thing you should do is to wash it under tap water; however, you should remember to keep the battery container away from water. Consequently, it’s also not safe to clean it in a dishwasher.
