Milk frother

Buy Milk Frothers Switzerland – from Hand Whisk to Fully Automatic

If you want to make cappuccino, flat white, or latte art at home, you need frothed milk – ideally with a fine, even microfoam texture that can be poured into the espresso. If your espresso machine doesn't have a steam wand or you don't have the option to work with one, separate milk frothers are the solution. There are four design classes: hand whisk, battery-powered, stove-top steamer, and electric fully automatic frothers.

Coffee Coaching Club carries 7 active models from four brands. From the affordable Hario hand whisk (CHF 18) to the specialty reference Subminimal Nanofoamer Pro GEN2 (CHF 169) to the fully automatic WPM MS-130T (CHF 519) for café setups or high-volume home use.

Which milk frother for which setup

What is microfoam and why is it important?

Microfoam is the fine, smooth milk foam texture with bubbles under 0.1 mm in size, which shows shine, creaminess, and stability in the cup. It is the basis for Latte Art – without microfoam, no clean tulips, rosettes, or swans. Classic hand whisk frothers tend to produce large-bubble foam that quickly dries out. Battery-powered frothers (Subminimal Nanofoamer line) and fully automatic frothers (WPM MS-130T) produce genuine microfoam class – with different levels of convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hand whisk or battery-powered?

Hand whisk (Hario, CHF 18): inexpensive, no power, but large-bubble foam, no real microfoam. Sufficient for occasional foam topping. Battery-powered (Subminimal Nanofoamer Lithium from CHF 69): true microfoam class, latte art-ready, significantly better. Once you've seen Subminimal microfoam, you won't want to go back to a hand whisk.

Nanofoamer Lithium or Nanofoamer Pro GEN2?

Lithium (CHF 69): the accessible version, good microfoam quality, easy to use. Pro GEN2 (CHF 169): the specialty premium version, with flow controller connection, more foam control, higher consistency, stylish design. For starting with microfoam: Lithium. For latte art demands: Pro GEN2.

What does the Nanoscreen Kit do?

The Nanoscreen Kit (CHF 8) is a sieve attachment for the Nanofoamer family that refines the microfoam texture through an additional sieve stage. Smaller bubbles, smoother surface, better pouring behavior for latte art. A very affordable workflow improvement for Nanofoamer owners.

Flair Wizard Steamer – how does it work?

You fill milk into the steamer body, place it on the stove, and heat it. Inside, there's a mechanism that simultaneously froths the milk while it heats up. Result: warm milk with microfoam texture – no electricity, no battery. For setups with a Flair manual lever machine, it's the natural complement (CHF 229).

WPM MS-130T – Overkill for home use?

For standard home use with 1–2 cappuccinos per day: yes, overkill. For café setups, high-volume home use (4+ milk drinks daily), or professional demands for reproducible microfoam quality: sensible. CHF 519 is significantly more expensive than the Subminimal family, but you get fully automatic processing with program selection.

Do I also need a milk pitcher?

For hand whisk and Hario: no, you can work directly in a cup. For the Subminimal family and latte art: yes, a milk pitcher is essential. Standard 350–500 ml for 1–2 cappuccinos. See Barista Milk Pitchers – especially the Subminimal Flowtip is designed as a matching set for the Subminimal family.

Which milk works best?

Classic whole milk (3.5% fat) at 4–6°C from the refrigerator: delivers the best microfoam quality. Skim milk also works, but with a less "velvety" texture. Plant-based drinks (oat, almond, soy): work well with Subminimal Nanofoamer and WPM, but vary depending on the brand. Oatly Barista Edition is the established oat choice.

Can I test milk frothers before buying?

Yes, in the showrooms in Bern and Zurich Oerlikon. We directly demonstrate the difference between a Hario hand whisk, Subminimal Nanofoamer Lithium and Pro GEN2, and a WPM fully automatic frother. Separate appointments are available for latte art workshops. Please arrange an appointment briefly in advance.
