Milk frothing with magnetic force: induction milk frother
Frothy milk is a pleasure: delicately creamy, it lies on the coffee or cocoa, caresses the palate and the tongue when drunk. Nothing comes close to the intense yet mild aroma of milk foam. The perfect milk foam is a little firm and stable in the cup, does not collapse quickly and consists of uniformly fine and not too large air bubbles.
Induction milk frother at a glance.
The severin SM 9495 milk frother has an attractive appearance and is designed to be small and space-saving. The container is made of stainless steel and does not need a cord.
For operation it is inserted into a holder. This is connected to the power cord. This facilitates the cleaning of the container.
As usual from severin, the SM 9688 is also a really first class milk frother.
The material used and the workmanship are very good and also the design of the SM 9688 is appealingly modern.
Together with its ease of use, easy cleaning and large capacity, this severin milk frother is particularly suitable for families. Especially when the kids like to drink cocoa and the parents want to enjoy a delicious cappuccino with friends.
The SM 9685 consists of a base in which a stainless steel can is placed and in which the actual foaming takes place. The jug can hold up to 700 ml of milk and can be placed on the base from any direction.
The aeroccino 3 milk frother from nespresso is the perfect complement to the coffee machine system of the same name. In addition to the high-quality materials and first-class workmanship, the modern design is particularly effective here. All those who are looking for the perfect milk frother as well as the perfect milk frother will love the aeroccino 3.
The severin SM 9684 is a fully automatic induction milk frother with which you can conjure up airy milk foam from fresh milk in no time at all. Thanks to the induction technology, the SM 9684 can heat the milk before and during frothing and thus produce perfect milk foam. In this article we would like to introduce you to the severin SM 9684 milk frother in more detail.
advantage automatic milk frother with induction
Frothing milk by hand is tedious. It requires some skill, it takes a long time and it is power consuming. The mechanical milk frothers in stick form are not much of a relief: many of them show only inadequate results, and they still have to be passed through the milk for quite a long time. The foam is reasonably stable, but not always uniform. If you want stable, even milk foam quickly and easily, an induction milk frother is the way to go.
Induction milk frothers work automatically: the milk is simply poured in, the electric device is switched on, and after a short time the perfect milk froth is ready. The electric milk frothers heat the milk at the same time, so that the milk foam does not have to be added cold to the hot beverage.
Another advantage of the induction milk frother is the way it works. No other appliance manages to heat milk so evenly and quickly while also working efficiently (i.e., saving electricity). Even electric milk frothers with an integrated heating plate require more energy and heat more unevenly. the secret lies in the way the induction device works: a magnetic field heats the container and thus the milk. This is not simply done from below, as is the case with a hotplate, but from all sides at the same time. And while still heating, a foam spiral draws air under the milk, so that fine bubbles are formed.
Milk foam is a question of chemistry
To get liquid milk pleasantly frothy and stable to boot, it needs heat and air. The air causes fat and protein molecules to separate from each other and rearrange themselves with air in between. But that doesn’t just happen, because the molecules have a relatively stable form in the milk. It’s the heat from heating the milk that makes it frothy. The electric frother heats the milk and at the same time sets it in motion so that the molecular structures can be rearranged. The air that enters the milk during stirring is firmly trapped before the molecules bind tightly again.
In the mode of operation at the chemical level, the induction milk frother does not differ from other electric or manual milk frothers. The functional principle is the same for all devices. However, induction milk frothers are much more convenient and easier to use.
Disadvantage price
Induction milk frothers are the most expensive appliances on the market. Good devices cost 50 euros or more, below which the offer should rather not be taken seriously. There are cheaper machines, but they don’t work with the desired quality or reliability. If an induction milk frother is too expensive for you, you are probably better off with another variant.
Important criteria when buying:
- The capacity of the milk frother
- The cleaning of the device
- The structure of the milk foam produced
- The different temperature settings available
- The handling
- The price
The structure of the milk foam is important because lattes require a more fluid and flowing foam, while in other cases the foam may be a little more compact. What never works: large bubbles piled up into solid cloud formations reminiscent of massive bath foam.
It’s easier when it comes to capacity. The milk frothers on the market offer quite a lot, from a delicate 100 ml to almost 300 ml, everything is possible. Everyone chooses the machine that suits the required amount of milk foam. It is important never to fill the milk frother further than the pre-set mark. Because the milk doubles its volume when it is frothy. So better buy a number larger, for all cases.
The temperature settings are important because many machines can also produce cold foam. Thanks to induction, it is possible to easily switch between two settings and see the result immediately. Because the magnet does not need a preheating time, nor does it radiate heat after switching off again. No heat is stored. Cold milk froth is relatively unstable, but it is invariably good on cold coffee drinks, cocktails and the kids’ cocoa.
Ease of use is always an advantage with a milk frother. The device should be firstly robust and secondly self-explanatory. For safety, the handles should be insulated, the controls should be clearly labeled, and it’s nice when the unit doesn’t spill when pouring. The frothing should be fast and as quiet as possible.
