One of the most underrated drink gadgets I’ve purchased is a battery operated hand mixer. I am a big coffee drinker, so much that I find myself at my local Starbucks purchasing Lattes all of the time.
I normally drink just regular coffee at home, but then I thought wouldn’t it be great if I could blend up that professional coffee shop style Latte at home while saving some money?
I had always wondered how coffee shop baristas create that delicious foam on top of their drinks.
Come to find out, the easiest way to froth milk and create your own favorite coffee drinks every morning at home in the comfort of your own kitchen is to simply use a battery operated hand mixer.
These types of mixers are great for frothing milk for foam, but there is so much more they can be used for. Whether it be blending up dressings, soups, eggs, drinks, cocktails, and even milkshakes, they are definitely the ideal appliance to have in your kitchen.

Normally electric milk frothing foam makers are ideal for quickly making professional cafe style froth for Lattes, Cappuccinos, and Hot Cocoa, but there are many other types of drinks it can be utilized for.
I found that whenever mixing liquid powder mixes by hand that I can never really get rid of all those clumps for a smooth drink. Whether it be Chocolate Milk, Lemonade, Matcha Tea, Pre-Workout Energy Drink, or Protein Powder Shake, these mixers are also the perfect drink stirrer.

Not all hand held mixers come in a full size version. If you are looking for a more portable, but powerful, option for all of your blending needs when you are traveling, I found this Fit & Fresh Portable Drink and Formula Mixer to be tough enough to handle any task you give it.
It has many positive ratings, its convenient size helps to fit it in a pocket or purse, includes two plastic mixer wands, and a carrying case. This high-powered blender instantly blends all powdered drinks at home, at the office, or when traveling.

Creating steamed milk requires the introduction of steam to the milk until a certain amount of foam or froth is created. In a professional setting, the foam content is controlled by the barista during the steaming process, and involves introducing air (“frothing, stretching”) by having the steam tip near the top of the milk.
If you love your morning coffee with lots of froth and foam, then you certainly want to have a good frothing wand at home to create that cafe style Latte or Cappuccino. These types of mixers are small and portable, so they can be kept on your countertop without taking up too much space.
Also, the fact that they are battery powered means that you don’t have to worry about cords nor having to find any sockets. Just heat up the milk, immerse the mixer into the cup, and turn it on. The milk foamer will start creating a creamy froth instantly.
Personally, the best battery operated hand mixer is this PowerLix Milk Frother Handheld Battery Operated Electric Foam Maker.
Amazon ranks it as a Best Seller, it has many positive reviews, has a 100% money back guarantee, and comes in a sleek, black color to fit in with your kitchen’s modern look.
The ergonomic handle is soft to the touch, while also being simple to use, and effortless to clean. Not only is it great for frothing hot milk, but it can also blend up delicious cocktails and milkshakes in a snap.
I’ll have mine the next time I’m craving a Latte in the morning, or need to entertain family and friends at the next get-together!
