  • Anyone got any recommendations for standalone milk frothers?

    Been happy with drinking exclusively espresso (or filter) at home since picking up my cafelat robot in 2020 but missus is starting to drink flat whites occasionally and daughter is partial to a babychino so wouldn’t mind picking up something that I could use at home.

    Been looking at the bellman cx25s or subminimal nanofoamer (or even the pro). I know they have very different approaches but both seem to have loyal followings. Anyone tried both and can offer comparisons? Any others I should consider?

  • I have the Subminimal Nanofoamer Pro and like it, they've just released Gen 2 so hopefully an improvement. I had the original one and found heating the milk then whisking too much of a faff alongside the Robot manual process but is very easy with the pro, just hit go on it before you start pulling your shot and it will be ready to pour shortly after you've finished the shot. I'm no latte art wizard but works fine with oat milk giving the consistency you would expect.

  • Thanks for this! Have you found any issues with scorching at the bottom given it’s pretty much a kettle heating the milk? Or is the temperature low enough that it’s not really an issue?
