There are plenty of ways you can bring coffee shop-quality coffee to your own kitchen, no matter your preferences. For the latte and cappuccino fans out there, these staples are a little tougher to replicate at home, especially when it comes to getting that signature frothy top.
The Lavazza A Modo Mio Milk Easy Frother makes light work of that particular detail, and you can currently pick one up at Amazon for £55.99 – down from its full price of £69. With a lightweight, compact and elegant design, it will sit comfortably alongside your kettle or coffee maker, whilst adding a touch of style to your kitchen.
Its one-touch multifunctional button covers both warming and frothing, with the option to have either warmed or cold frothed milk depending on your preferences. The magnetic whisk whips things up nice and quickly, with a transparent lid for easy progress monitoring. It’ll take up to 180ml of milk at once, is a breeze to clean, and has a strong seal around the lid to prevent leakages.

From over 6,000 Amazon reviews, the Lavazza A Modo Mio MilkEasy Frother has an average rating of 4.7/5. Customers particularly laud its ease of use, reliability and sleek form factor.
“I am happy with my Lavazza milk frother. It is expensive. I bought it on the basis of consistently good reviews,” said one five-star review – but perhaps they didn’t manage to get it on a deal. They added: “I’d had a cheaper frother by another company, but it lasted only a few weeks before it went pop. This one is a much better design with the frother fitments being magnetised and therefore eliminates any risk of fluid seaping into the electrics.”
Another said: “The Lavazza A Modo Mio Milk Easy Frother is a must-have accessory for any coffee enthusiast who enjoys indulging in milk-based coffee creations at home. With its effortless operation, customizable froth settings, and sleek design, it’s sure to become an essential part of your daily coffee ritual. Treat yourself to cafe-quality frothed milk from the comfort of your own home with the Lavazza A Modo Mio Milk Easy Frother.”
“I searched for various milk frothers and after reading reviews decided this sounded good for the middle road price. And it has not disappointed,” said yet another five-star review. “Gives three options, cold frothy, hot frothy and warm milk. It’s so easy to use.”
Others have said a detachable jug would be an improvement: “My advice would be if you’re going to use it a lot then look for one with a stainless removable jug rather than a non-stick coated one, which is what I’ll be buying next.” Meanwhile, some have mentioned that its capacity leaves a bit to be desired: “The idea is fabulous and as long as you use a small cup everything is jolly and fine… but, if you use a mug, don’t expect to be able to warm a mug’s worth of milk in this!”
For a rapid heating and frothing experience, you might consider the Nespresso Aeroccino3 for £79. There’s also a dishwasher-safe option from Smeg, available for £180 at Currys.
