Milk Frothers: Which Whips Up the Best Coffee Topping?

If what you really like about a cappuccino is the frothy topping, you can easily whip up milk with a device designed for just that purpose. The Good Housekeeping Research Institute evaluated 13 frothers, including handheld ones (with and without batteries) and electric models. We looked at how well and how quickly they froth both whole and nonfat milk and how easy they are to operate and clean, as well as how stylish they'll look sitting on your kitchen countertop. Here, the results, starting with the best performers. The great news: There are many good, inexpensive frothers, and the one that performed best was one of the cheapest of all those we evaluated! What a simple way to add a little "froth" and pampering to your day.
