Quick answer
Milk drinks add workflow. Check steaming, frothing, cleaning and milk storage before choosing a machine for lattes or cappuccinos.
What to check
- Decide whether milk drinks are occasional or daily.
- Check whether milk is manual steam wand, carafe, tube or separate frother.
- Review cleaning steps for milk-contact parts.
- Check cup height and drink size settings.
- Consider fridge distance and milk storage after use.
Trade-offs
Automatic milk systems can make routine easier, but cleaning can be more involved. Manual steam wands offer control, but need practice and cleanup time.
