- A milk frother is a small handheld tool with a handle. You dip it into a cup of milk, hold the power button, and spin it to make foam. Verge reporter Elizabeth Lopatto named this product the best purchase of the year and said the price was about 14.
- According to the reporter, with new batteries it takes about 30 seconds to 1 minutes, and when the batteries weaken the time gets longer, so replacement is needed. This is the reporter's own experience.
- According to the article, the frother is also used for beating eggs, mixing protein powder or creatine, and making hot chocolate. The reporter used it most for making cream topping to put on coffee.
- The cream topping is said to originate from the Einspänner, a drink from Vienna, Austria. Later it became popular in Korea in several variations, and in the United States it spread on the trend made familiar by Starbucks cold foam drinks, the reporter explained.
O: This could work for a scene where an office worker who wants to make café drinks at home tries a cream topping on a cold coffee on a weekend morning by whisking milk foam with a hand whisk and spooning it on top.
X: The article is one reporter's personal experience, not a comparative test that verified the whisk's performance, so whether it is worth the price should be checked against your own standards.
