Be your own barista with this handy on-sale tool. (Amazon)
Though making your own lattes and cappuccinos at home is the more affordable way to go, it can be hard to re-create that just-right level of froth and foam using your microwave or stovetop. Luckily, there's a handy tool that can help you create perfect milk foam — and it's marked down during Amazon's Winter Sale. The mega-retailer is offering up the massively popular Powerlix Milk Frother for as low as $10, so if you're trying to save money in 2024 by minimizing your trips to Starbucks, you'll want it in your cart.
Every day comes with its own struggles, but cold coffee shouldn't be one of them. The Mr. Coffee is like a heated coaster. Just plug it in, turn it on and place your mug on top. It's easy to clean, and you can take it anywhere. It also makes for a great desk accessory — and a great gift for coffee lovers, of course.
"I don't know what it is about hot drinks that I just cannot for the life of me remember to drink them until they are ice cold, but it has always been the main reason why I have iced drinks instead. This has solved all of my problems. It's great and has kept my drinks warm literally all day," shared one fan.
For the price of two drinks from your local coffee shop, this frother will allow you to whip up all of your favorite foamy bevs in a jiffy. The black model is almost 50% off, which is just about the lowest price we've seen in the past year.
This frother has a jaw-dropping 62,000-plus perfect ratings at Amazon, making it one of the most popular options available. The PowerLix is petite and easily fits into the palm of your hand. It delivers an impressive 19,000 rotations per minute, allowing you to create the level of foam you're after.
To use it, simply put the head of the frother into milk and push the button. (Or heat up the milk first if you're feeling particularly fancy.) It'll create froth within seconds (go longer for a cappuccino; shorter if you're making a latte).
The whole thing is battery-operated, so you don't need to be tied down by cords. It's also built to last, thanks to its stainless steel arm and head.
Choose from an impressive range of colors to find the frother that matches your decor (prices vary).
This milk frother's army of fans rave about everything from the look and feel to the power behind this handheld gadget.
Said one satisfied shopper: "It makes the most beautiful and delicious foam. I was once a barista (back in my younger days) and this thing works like a charm. The foamed milk is light, airy, velvety and smooth."
A fellow fan said they lost their $50 frother, leading them to try the Powerlix. "I was very surprised how well this works. I only use non-dairy milk and it works very well," they shared.
Some fans say they use it for things like protein powders and even sauces. "It is powerful. Blends out the gritty stuff, and the froth is awesome. I love it!" shared one happy customer.
"It does the job for gravies, sauces, syrups anything that can be a little lumpy," said another. "It’s quick and easy to use."
"Tastes like I’m drinking a cappuccino from a fancy coffee shop," raved a final fan. Their one qualm? "I will say my only complaint is that it didn’t come with batteries. Luckily I had two AA batteries laying around. Other than that, I love this thing and it has made my mornings so much more fun and tastier!" (Psst: Here's an affordable pack of batteries to add to your cart before you forget!)
And to keep your warm, foamy beverages hotter for longer, you'll want this Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer:
"I'm one of those people who never drinks all of their coffee or tea right away," shared a shopper. "My tea and coffee can sit for hours before it's all gone. So I brought this warmer and I'm so happy to have hot coffee or tea all day long."
