The Contenders Two Frothers That Earn Their Counter Space

Frequently Asked Questions
Which milk froths best for lattes at home?
Whole milk and barista-edition oat milk create the richest and most stable foam. Whole milk produces dense, velvety texture, while oat milk offers a creamy plant-based alternative that behaves similarly under a frother.
