If you don't
have one of those pricey espresso machines with a built-in
milk frother, you can still top off your cup of joe in
style with the clever Aerolatte Milk Frother. The
latest edition of this handheld, battery-operated device
comes in a fancy, ready-to-gift embossed tin—which
is also helpful for keeping the stirring wand from getting
tangled up in your utensils drawer. To build up a nice
head of foam, just immerse the stainless-steel whisk-head
in a separate cup or mug holding about an inch of milk,
hold down the switch for 20 or 30 seconds, and you'll
have several inches of froth to top off your cappuccino
or hot chocolate. It works nicely even with low-fat and
soy milk. (To keep the foam from dissolving too quickly,
though, it helps to heat the milk up first in the microwave.)
Clean-up is simple: Just rinse off the whisk-head under
your kitchen tap (the battery-holding handle isn't immersible).
It'll run for ages on two AA batteries (included).
Order online at amazon.com, on sale right now (at 20% off list price) for $19.99.
