The moment my friend Grace Kelly, an editor at Serious Eats, presented me with the Instant Pot Magic Frother, I had no inkling that it would soon become one of my kitchen staples. Previously, I had been using a handheld milk frother, but the process was often cumbersome, requiring trips back and forth to the microwave to heat the milk before frothing it. There always seemed to be something lacking in that routine. However, the arrival of the sleek Magic Frother filled that void effortlessly.

Using this frother has transformed my mornings into a tranquil experience where I can pour the milk, choose my desired setting, and step away as it does the work for me. More than once, I’ve found myself engrossed in a book in the living room, only to be drawn back to the kitchen by the gentle hum of the frother in action. Interestingly, the frother has even piqued the curiosity of my roommates, who prior to its arrival showed little interest in my handheld frother but now eagerly use the Magic Frother.

Why I Appreciate the Instant Pot Magic Milk Frother

Commonly, milk frothers fall into two categories: handheld and countertop models. My experience has predominantly been with handheld frothers, which, while functional, don’t compare to the performance and convenience offered by the Instant Pot Magic Milk Frother. This sentiment is shared by the Serious Eats team, who have recognized it as the leading milk frother in their reviews.

What makes this frother particularly appealing is its ability to allow me to multitask. Unlike handheld models where I must be attentive, operating it involves simply pressing a button and walking away while it heats and froths the milk within its spacious 17-ounce stainless steel pitcher. I have experienced several mishaps with handheld frothers, occasionally burning myself with hot milk, which has been completely eliminated with this model.

The intuitive design of the Instant Pot Magic Frother enhances the user experience further. There’s no need to refer to complicated instruction manuals; I can easily place the pitcher on the stand, secure the lid, and adjust the temperature and froth level to my liking using the straightforward controls. My personal preference leans toward medium froth paired with medium heat, or high froth and medium heat for a richer texture.

In a shared city apartment where counter space is at a premium, this frother proves to be a practical choice. Its compact design, measuring just six inches wide and slightly over six inches tall, ensures that it occupies minimal space. It’s lightweight and easily stowed away in a cabinet when not in use.
