Behold the $24 Whisk We Deemed “The Best-Designed Handheld Frother”
Cold foam, lattes, frothy hot chocolate: a milk frother can do it all! After testing 20 of ‘em, we had three favorites: two electric models (capable of hot and cold foam) and a handheld option (cold foam-only). While the electric ones are certainly great, let’s focus on the latter: the $24 Golde Superwhisk.
While most of the handheld milk frothers we tested performed similarly (i.e. frothing up cold milk with ease—though you certainly can froth hot milk with it, provided you heat up the milk first), the Golde’s design set it apart. For starters, it’s rechargeable, small, and ultra-portable, and comes with a lid. That’s right, a lid! A beneficial feature for those looking to take a milk frother on the go (we’re sure you’re out there), but also for storing in a drawer. It comes apart for easy cleaning, too. It’s a real hero of a milk frother that costs as much as a handful of lattes.

FAQs
What’s the best milk frother?
After testing 20 milk frothers, we named models from Miroco, Breville, and Golde our favorites. You can read more about how we tested and our winners in our review.
How do you use the Golde milk frother?
To use the Golde Superwhisk, stick the whisk part into whatever you want to froth and turn the whisk on. Move the whisk up and down a little and side to side for efficient frothing.
