Back when I worked in an office (remember that?), someone once gifted me a handheld milk frother. It was a pretty, sturdy little gadget intended to make my ho-hum morning coffee — poured from the office pot — seem like it was served by a barista.
I have to admit, it’s been a game-changer, allowing me to enjoy lattes and cappuccinos without the hefty coffee shop prices. So when I spotted the Bonsenkitchen Electric Milk Frother on sale at Amazon — and realized it can be delivered before Christmas — I knew I’d discovered the perfect last-minute gift.
Though it’s pretty to look at (the model that’s on sale comes in sleek Silver), this mini frother is way more than just a piece of eye candy. The Bonsenkitchen Electric Milk Frother is a bonafide beast — and more than 16,000 highly caffeinated Amazon shoppers have happily attested to that.
“This is like...the best thing since...sliced bread!” wrote a stunned shopper. “No need to spend a small fortune drinking lattes from overpriced venues. A bit of warmed milk, half and half, cream or dairy substitute and I am my own successful barista. It takes only a few minutes to create your highly valued frothy latte event. It takes the same or sometimes less amount of time to clean it. I am in love with this frother.”

The Bonsenkitchen Electric Milk Frother — which operates on two AA batteries — does everything my frother does, but Amazon reviewers have introduced a whole new world of uses. They’re not only hand-whipping foam atop their lattes and cappuccinos like I do, but they’re also using the frother for blending shakes, beating eggs, and whipping cream for desserts.
Some are obsessed with the frother’s ability to help them make more high-end “coffee events” (I’m stealing that genius phrase from the reviewer above) that might require specialized machines with multiple attachments — say, Bulletproof coffee or Dalgona coffee.

“This is a GREAT tool for Bulletproof coffee (grass fed butter, mct/coconut oil and coffee),” one raving reviewer wrote. “I thought I had to buy an immersion blender—that would have [been] crazy. But then I saw someone mixing their coffee with this frother...and I immediately realized this is what I was looking for!!! It makes that frothy top that a blender does with no mess and way less cleanup. And if you are a mom like me and reheat your drink 1,000 times a day then it makes for a quick and easy stir again!”
The Bonsenkitchen Electric Milk Frother can make at-home milkshakes, Starbucks Frappuccinos...the list goes on. What better way to inspire the imagination of someone who’s working from home and missing their coffee-shop routine? This is definitely a low-investment gift that’ll wow ‘em — and it’s on sale!
“Holy latte Batman!” exclaims a fan. “This little tool makes some awesome foam for lattes! I use it to mix my chai powder mix with water and then add cinnamon to warm milk to make the foam...It even made some great foam with skim milk!”
Even actual baristas recommend it. “I recently heard, from a barista, about this device and placed my order that very same day,” wrote a stoked shopper. “I absolutely LOVE it!!! It’s so simple to use and easy to clean! The barista told me that electric milk frothers make tighter foam than her professional espresso machine does, and she was right.”
