Although both create delicious milk-based drinks, milk frothers and milk steamers work in different ways. A milk frother uses a whisk to heat and aerate milk, creating a light, creamy foam that’s perfect for cappuccinos, lattes, mochas and hot chocolate. They’re quick, simple to use and ideal for everyday coffee drinkers.
A milk steamer uses powerful steam instead of a whisk, creating silky microfoam with a smooth, velvety texture. This allows greater control over the consistency of the milk, making it the preferred choice for flat whites, latte art and authentic café-style coffee.
Dualit’s range includes both technologies, allowing you to choose the right appliance for your favourite drinks—whether you’re making a single mug of luxurious hot chocolate, preparing coffee for the whole family or recreating professional barista-style drinks at home. Pair your milk frother or steamer with our range of Premium Coffee or Luxury Hot Chocolate to enjoy authentic café-style drinks from the comfort of your own kitchen.
