Embrace The Way Of The Frother

HOT DRINK SEASON COMETH!

Winter is right around the corner, and we all know that means deliciously warm mugs of your favourite drink that you can wrap your hands around as you snuggle up on the lounge, long after the cafes have closed.

We hear you, and we’re here for you.

We want to make sure that you are equipped with the best tool to enjoy your favourite Bondi Chai flavour, aka the milk frother.

There are countless options out there, and what works best for you depends on your personal preferences. Some prefer to throw all the ingredients in a cup and mix it together with a wand, some like the old-fashioned approach with a stovetop jug and hand-plunger, and others like to mix it all together in an automatic jug.

To help you in your choice, we’ve listed the top two rated milk frothers in Australia for each category from across the internet.*
